ManicMechanic Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Saw this gem on Copart. It appears the Tempest body was put on the entire chassis with floor pans and everything. http://www.copart.com/us/Lot/26260135/Photos?SearchId=913264759 Wish it hadn't been wrecked.

94 olds vert Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Wow that is amazing. Someone went through great lengths to keep that car on the road. Shame it was wrecked. Quote
Nas Escobar Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 When I first read the thread title, I imagined a GTP used as a "donor" car.... Who in their right mind would use the SE? Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 A GTP would have been much cooler. Quote
RobertISaar Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 3100s can almost convincingly sound like a V8 at less than full throttle, 3800s...... not so much. the thought process behind this confuses the hell out of me though. I guess they wanted a FWD tempest that wasn't actually a Corsica? Quote
RareGMFan Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 3100s 60° V6s in general do make a glorious noise. Fixed. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Hey, somewhere there's a guy with a 3.1 MPFI in a 1957 Chevy wagon. Quote
Euro Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 What in the sam hell... I came in here expecting any of the W engines mated to a RWD drivetrain....all while in a 100% actual Tempest. Not basically the exoskeleton of a Tempest fit over a GP SE Quote
mfewtrail Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 That's an interesting combination of old and new. I'm wondering if they chose the w-body to swap it or simply had it on hand and made use of it. Quote
