The continuing story of my 1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom...
In the beginning...
Some time ago, my charming wife Sarah agreed to my purchase of a project car. She provided seed money and some general expectations of what the car should and should not be. Her main criteria for selection were that the car should not be a Ford and that it should have a pleasing body style. As I understand it, she was terribly frightened by a 1964 Galaxie 500 as a child and has never liked Fords since. Additionally, Sarah and her mother both worked at Farmer’s Chevrolet in Holly Hill, SC. These two factors probably contribute to her dislike of anything Dearborn produced.
My eagle-eyed brother, Allen knew of my quest
for the ideal restoration candidate and was busily scouring every inch of north
Georgia for me. He said he was doing
that, anyway. I think he was driving
around aimlessly when he should have been working. But, I digress. On one of
his trips to work, he spotted this car you see to the left.
