I owned this exact car in high school and I could get 9 people in it with the top down. It was a great car and I got mine used in 1976 for right at 400 bucks. The top was in bad shape such that the owner had kept a tarp on it for several years but it had been garage kept. My dad, being cheap, glued a piece of tarp over the holes in the top which had been caused by a falling tree limb when the car was outside during a bad thunderstorm. It ran great and had no rust. I drove mine most of the time with the top down and while mine was not red, it got plenty of looks around town. When I finally got married in 1978, I decided I wanted something newer and my dad bought it from me for the same 400 bucks I spent and then he restored it over about 2 years. He sold it to a collector for almost 20K way back in the early 80s. Great car. I wish I had kept it.

My first car (1970) was a 66 Tempest Custom 2Dr. Post. 326 and 3spd on the floor with a bench seat! Was a fool for getting rid of it!

Really sweet Poncho. All it lacks is Barbara Eden in the passenger seat. Good price for a ragtop in such great shape.

My dad bought a 66 GTO brand new. Most of them were Rode hard and put away wet! This car was pampered!

Hey Nick, today is Friday you got any hot rod beast today, thanks Flex

Maple Motors should invest in a lift

Absolutely, I always wondered if they took the undercarriage into consideration when pricing the vehicles.

Right I wish , city of hendersonville would make us put greenways all through the lot. Lift would go out in a week we would need 10 lol

A nice honest car, and even has the original hubcaps. I figured the horn would work because the car doesn’t look like it’s been messed with. Very nice, and you probably don’t see many of these that have been left as Tempests.

I like it a lot! 😁

Beautiful cruiser!

Beautiful 65 lemans very clean. Worth the price IAM glad that it's been kept original.

The only thing I would change on that ragtop would be thinner whitewalls or maybe even red wall tires.

needs to much work for the price great for a long time investment if bought a right price needs at least ten to fifteen grand worth

Sorry but you ain’t gonna get anything running for ten grand these days man. Classic car market and the inflation right now are causing these prices to skyrocket. This is actually a bargain

@@Nebulasecura By the time you get this car sorted you'll have $40K in it. It will still be a Tempest with no buckets, console or power windows. For $15000 more you can get a decent GTO. Of course, If you don't have $15 more and want to fix the Tempest up over time, go for it.

Think he meant you'd have to spend at least $10-15k to get the car right.Thats why he said if you bought it right $10-15k gets it where you'd want it.Nice car though ive have 67 Lemans 2 spd 326 buckets car and its Champane Gold with black interior.Great driving cars surprised me how nice of a ride.

Beautyfull pontiac, thats what i call realy good 🎶 music, thanks Nick great video stay cool 😎 😎 😊 cool car 🤟

Looks like 'corporate blue' engine paint instead of Pontiac silver blue...

Everything under is wet...trans and oil pan dripping....Nice project car !!....too much money for a project car.

Nice solid beauty. Top actuation is impressive for 1966. A little wet underneath.

True, I thought it would work my father had a 66 Tempest it is the button design, early GM steering wheels good quality stuff

Looks a heck like a GTO...

Wud love to have this one...

Nice car, excellent driver, red interior huge plus....Rust bubbles..:( bondo popping through....too bad.....I'm very supportive of Nick & his cars.... as most are drivers...This would be a nice one ,if you can live with the poor prep work, prior to paint.........

Hey Nick, you ever use one of them go pro cams you can magnetically stick on the car? They use them in races to show what the suspension does during races. Also put on the hood of the car that gives you a POV ride! Know what I mean? Just an idea...✌😎

Beautiful 🤩
