Inherited 62 Lemans Tempest need help
 
My husband inherited his grandfathers 1962 pontiac lemans tempest when he was 11... 15 years later he is asking me to find out anything I can about it. I am confused because it is not a lemans or a tempest but a "lemans tempest". It is not currently running but does still have the 4cyl engine and all other origonal parts. It was purchased new from Pontiac by my husbands grandfather. Currently being stored at my inlaws in Tucson AZ, we live in Portland ME. I am going to go out and take pictures in May. I was just hoping someone could tell me a little about the car. I remember looking at the title before we moved to Maine and it said it was one of 500 made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome! A quote from wikipedia: the Tempest LeMans was essentially a trim package featuring sportier and more luxurious trimmings than the Tempest, including different badging and bucket seats. That year the name was used only on a two-door pillared coupe. You can find out more about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac...1.E2.80.931963
