When is the last time you saw a big motor, a 4 speed, and BUCKETS in a wagon? And a cool front end! I had to take a triple take on those buckets.

If it was a real big-block or 4-speed car or similar, I'd be interested.

But a phantom wagon? They don't interest me.

Show me a 428 stick full-sizer and you'll have my attention!

Sorry, I thought that was a legit non phantom ride, but just with the GTO badging added and likely a bumper painted.
The way the ad read, it made me think it was real, all they mentioned as a deviation was the GTO badging. I guess I flunked being able to play in Pontiac land <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif

Didn't Chevy have a SS wagon in 1973?

No worries. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Yeah, there was an SS wagon in '73. I think there's a 4-speed 454 wagon floating around too.

I believe the Pontiac 455 engine wasn't available til 1970. Custom means custom.

correct. A Tempest custom is a low priced version

Kinda . . .

There used to be Tempest, Tempest Custom, and LeMans (for the pedestrian models).

In 1969, the Tempest Custom became the Custom S. This was the only year for the mid-level model being called Custom S, as in 1970 it was eliminated, the LeMans took its place, and the new top trim level was the LeMans Sport.
