1963 Pontiac Tempest Super Duty The Tempest in 1:18 scale
Long known as the preferred brand of the senior set, Pontiac roared out of nowhere at the turn of the Sixties to claim multiple Super Stock championships. It kept the competition back on its heels with a flurry of new over-the-counter parts before finally introducing a radical new performance package that was more than the typical recipe of cubic inches, midsize body and deleted creature comforts.
The factory took steps to improve the car’s performance, punching its 389 V-8 out to 421 cubic inches. Its twin 4-barrel carbs and free-flowing aluminum exhaust headers pushed power up to a potential 500 horses, and lightweight aluminum front Sheetmetal and bumpers shaved considerable weight.
The Wynn Engineering Tempest presented here is one of the original six 421 Super Duty Coupes built by Pontiac. Four were destroyed and a fifth was recently found minus almost all the distinguishing special factory equipment, making this car the only complete example in existence.
This exquisite diecast model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish.
