This 1965 Pontiac Tempest Custom Safari GTO Tribute is your chance to have one classic that can carry the family and cargo in one vintage vehicle. And since this wagon has been upgraded with serious fuel-injected V8 power, vibrant orange paint, four-wheel disc brakes, a sports suspension, and a comfy A/C interior, this is the one classic that your practical and passionate sides can agree on.
The best power wagons out there know how to add boldness without losing the vintage feel. This one seems to channel Pontiac's Orbit Orange with a touch of Hot Wheels flair. And that's just the beginning. The addition of a GTO hood scoop means we can't help but make comparisons to the granddaddy of all muscle cars. There are even classic Torq Thrust wheels with extra meaty rubber in the rear for an awesome stance. But there's much more going on here. The bumpers, bezels, and full-length trim have a bright look from a solid investment. And all the body panels line up well and the doors close with confidence. So this aggressive wagon also has the overall look of quality.
The interior is the right mix of style and comfort. The exterior orange returns on the door tops and dash. Now that's joined by tasteful shades of tan on the carpeting, door panels, and headliner. That huge rear cargo area is carpeted with a custom Pontiac logo mat. So it's just as good for tailgating as it is for showing off the trophies you're likely going to win. The two rows of bench seats are right for the classic family wagon attitude. And the overall condition is the right kind of feeling of a car you'll love to drive and share with family and friends. There are added features for everyone's comfort like a power rear window and cold-blowing air conditioning. But the best treats are reserved just for you. The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, there is a full gauge package with large speedo and tach, and have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter yet?
There's a nice precedent for turning this one into a power wagon. The PHS (Pontiac Historic Services) documentation shows it was ordered with V8 power, a four-speed, Rally gauges, and a handling package. So it was born the GTO of wagons, but there has been a solid investment in the restoration to really bring awesome muscle to this grocery-getter. After all, even the '65 GTO didn't get a 400 cubic-inch V8 from the factory And this one gets upgraded further with go-fast goodies like Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and Doug's headers. It's topped with an MSD fuel injection system for the best in performance and consistency. The upgraded five-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the power, and the BeCool aluminum radiator with dual electric fans helps keep it running cool even in traffic with the A/C running. As you look underneath, you'll spot the best suspension upgrades, including Global West tubular front A-arms, Hotchkis sway bars, Hotchkis rear arms, power steering, and Baer four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors.
The sale comes complete with PHS docs, a reproduction window sticker, and maintenance records. The Tempest Custom wagon costs nearly as much as a GTO when new, and so they are a far rarer treat today. And now this special one has been fully restored to merge the legends in the coolest way ever. So if you want power, distinction, practicality, and all-around quality, call now!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
