I've seen this on quite a few other forums like a week ago but its still amazing nonetheless

I don't know what that specific car was raced with, but that Tempest and its inline-6 was the debut of the Gilmer timing belt. It also used a Teleflex driveshaft, and had a transaxle. Quite the machine in its day (although still a sucking GM product).

My favorite part of his description:

"THERE IS STUFF IN THE TRUNK (I PEEKED FROM BACK SEAT)LOOKS LIKE UNDERHOOD PARTS (HOPE IT'S NOT HOFFA)"

The fact a shell sold for over 200k is ridiculous.

sadly, we had one in here at my yard, stripped it out.
i still have the hood though, wonder if it will go for 1k?? .
