Other 1963 Pontiac Tempests
In 1963, Pontiac engineers took a 1963 Tempest and replaced the 326 cu. in.V-8 with a Super Duty 421 cu. in. motor.
The car retained the rear mounted Tempest transaxle and got aluminum sheet metal on the front end.
Both Car Craft (below left) and Hot Rodding (below right) have done stories on the Tempest
