Driving a 1965 Pontiac Tempest 326 Stick - Cupcake's BIG Adventure

[1RetroDrummer]

Beautiful car....Those 326 V8's run very smooth.Keep an extra set of points around..or change it over to electronic ignition. I love the simplicity...I also love those center caps!! Very dependable car!

@ratrodramblin Hello and thank you for the note! No worries driving an old car in good condition. Problems occur when simple things are neglected or overlooked. Cupcake has driven thousands of miles all over the USA - in old cars...

my dad has one of these, white exterior, 2 speed automatic. i keep asking him to get a 3 speed for when i get it :)

@98Ps3lover Great cars- have fun - no matter what tranny!

[98Ps3lover]

@4spdBernie 2 speed doent have enough power for me.. it doesnt shift very well either

[4spdBernie]

@98Ps3lover Yeah, 2 speed a/t does suck the power. I drove 2 speed GTO - nice car but NO power. I'm sure there are people out there happy with 2 speed a/t but 3 or 4 speed stick shift is where it's at.

[98Ps3lover]

@4spdBernie yeah

More videos of the Tempest - PLEASE. My first car was a 65 Temepst 3 speed like Cupcakes. Same colors! Maroon outside, red inside. I've never enjoyed a car like that one in all these years! Mine was a 6 cyl 3 speed on the column. Then it was considered a "compact" car. Now is would be considered a limousine!!

[4spdBernie]

Hello, thank you - what a wondeful note - exactly what old cars are all about - great memories & happy times. When the snows melt away we'll certainly do some more vids - including another of the Tempest - it'll be washed and shiny, too!

Harold Skylark is in love with Cupcake. He followed her around all day. I loved it when Cupcake and Harold ganged up on that streetrod '48 Ford. One street rod ford, 40 thousand dollars, one '65 Skylark with a 4 barrel 300; VERY affordable. Cupcake and her Tempest. PRICELESS!!!!!

[4spdBernie]

Hey Mike, that was fun a cruise today - great to have you and Harold along. Very nice Skylark you have there! Yes, not a lot dough has to be spent to have fun in this hobby - you've seen our cars...

[HeelnToad]

It's not easy to shoot and shift, great video & narration! What a find, love your videos & taste in cars. :-D

[4spdBernie]

Thas again! That was all Cucpake - she did a GREAT job - had F-U-N doin' it , too!

[PweAnderson340]

4spdBernie,you and Cupcake are two of the coolest people ever.I throughly enjoy all your awesome videos.Thank you.

[4spdBernie]

Hello and thank you for the nice words. Just sharing with everyone what we love to do. We wish you a GREAT 2011! Come back for more vids 'cause we got a trunk load...

Gorgeous car :)

Cupcake must be a really good driver - I would be afraid to let my girlfriend drive such a big car, with no power steering and no power brakes, for such a long run !

[4spdBernie]

Hello and thank you!

It is really neat old car. Cupcake loves old cars - she's fearless - no power equipment - no problem!

[4spdBernie]

Ya got that right! Thanks for the note, eh.
