WOW! The Find of a Lifetime! 1963 SD 421 Tempest!

[markjohnson]

WOW! Check out this auction! The owner just thought he had just an old '63 Tempest Drag car but it turns out to be the missing Stan Long Pontiac-sponsored factory built Super Duty 421 car. This car is 1-of-6 and only one other is accounted for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...67#description

Here's the car back in the day.

A: No, I BELIEVE IT WAS ONE OWNER UNTIL HE PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR. IT WAS AQUIRED BY CURRENT OWNER BY WAY OF YEARS OF STORAGE BILL. THANKS

Sounds like the Leno Doosie,,talk about a blind squirrel finding acorn!

"Wild" Bill Shrewsberry..i remember him back in the day at OCIR driving the L.A dart wheelstand car..never knew he raced an AFX poncho for MT.

the front is aluminum? Its rusting in the pics..

[markjohnson]

The aluminum front end has been replaced by a steel nose but the ORIGINAL aluminum front nose from this very car is still in the hands of an enthusiast. I hope they can be reunited. Check out the cool headers that were found in the trunk! I think it shows something like 3XXXX original miles. The freakin' tow bar is still hooked up to the front of the car!

Yep, that was my question to him. I had no idea if he would post it or not. Cars less valuable have come up missing at car shows lately, and this guy is inviting people to come see it? I'd have armed guards and require 2 pieces of i.d. just to come on the property. Its good that he is going to let the auction run the course. I congratulate him on doing that. It's one heck of a find, and he had no idea when this all started.

He posted more pictures on another ebay auction.

It's amazing that the original factory stainless steel headers remain with the car. Tiemann wont have to build them when he does the restore. Just a shame that Randy Williams isn't here today to buy it.

piece. Sure would be good to see this one brought back to life.

Cool pics Mark!.
Looking closely, the ding in the passenger's side of the rear bumper of the eBay car appears to be already there in the early pics too?.

Amazing find..
Funny replies on some of those ask the seller questions.
