    How does a 2" drop spindle end up making a car appear as though it is higher off the ground than stock? I've seen a few Custom S Ponchos around. It's relatively rare, but I don't consider it valuable rare. Maybe a Pontiac aficionado can weigh in. I've only had a few Pontiacs, from '65 and '66- Tempest, Le Mans and GTO types. Sure wish I had some of them, now!

    Where do these guys always find "struts" to replace on these cars???o_O
    It 's old and sort of rare but the '69 Tempest Safari is the car to have.
    It is way too high in the front, higher than stock, a cool gasser look in 1965.:rolleyes:
    Maybe he put the air shocks in the front or installed the drop spindles upside down? :D
    The guy should have left it stock, the cars sit low to begin with.
