Default 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!!!

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.

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

Jeff-

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