Default Re: Super Duty Tempest . . .

Maybe it was actually street-driven or it's a misprint and is supposed to be 5400. When the Stan Long Tempest was first listed on E-Bay, I quickly dismissed it when the interior color was described as "green" because every body knows that all the cars were blue inside. Anyway, until a VIN # is posted it's all just speculation but it would be incredible if this does turn out to be the Daytona-winning Nichols car that's been missing for 50 years!

Well, it's doubtful that this is the Paul Goldsmith #50 car. After sitting back at the garage for a while, Mercedes-Benz purchased it, shipped it to Germany, and completely dismantled it to figure out how a lowly Pontiac sedan could have beaten all those Ferraris and Corvettes so handily at Daytona.

Paul Goldsmith won that race by 5 miles over a disgruntled A.J. Foyt.
