Schwartz project "Temptress"
 

It's a 1965 Pontiac Tempest.
Body parts came in yesterday for project "Temptress". Our chassis is the new series 3 A body chassis with mandrel bent rails. Yes, it will be powered by a Schwartz built LS engine. We unloaded an LS3 and an LS7 off a truck yesterday, which one will we use? Turbo, SC, NA, decisions, decisions.
This autocross/track weapon will debut on Power Tour 09 and be driven by Aussie Grant Craft and Jeff Schwartz.


EDIT: The car has been on the road for a while now. You may have seen it at events across the US. If not, here are some videos!!!

Jeff any renderings yet:question: This is one of my favorite Pontiacs. Can't wait to see this come together...

Sweet, it looks like the body is in pretty good shape! Why not build a Poncho motor to put in the Poncho? LS motors are great from a performance standpoint, but even my grandmother has one. Well, the customer is always right if this is a customer car. :bow:

A 455ci Ls Motor Would Be Sick !! Good Luck On Build ---

It would, especially if it was dressed to look like a Pontiac engine. Can you paint an aluminum block and heads? :cool:

Not Sure Either About Painting The Aluminum Block --- Too Bad Not A Iron Lsx Block -----with Aluminum Heads ---

Jeff-

I heard a rumor that you were no longer associated with Schwartz Performance. It looks like the rumors are untrue?
