Welcome to PontiacTempest.com

My name is Kevin. I was lucky enough to inherit a 1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom from my grandma, who bought it new back in 1964. I fixed it up when I was in high school and got my drivers license. Then, I moved away for college. It sat at my parent’s house in dry, warm Central California for nearly 30 years. I nearly sold it, but my high school friends talked me into keeping it. That was the right move. 🙂 I finally had it shipped up to Washington in 2023.

Here’s a picture I took when it was delivered. Maybe it was the fog in the air, but it seemed like a dream, very surreal.

Follow along as I restomod the car. I’ll post before and after pics and any tips I pick up along the way. Thank goodness for YouTube help and classic car online stores. How did anyone restore anything pre-Internet?!
