Some history about the 1989 Ford Tempo GLS.
From 1989 to 1991 Ford produced a Tempo that was sportier than the normal L and GL models. They came out with the GLS which came with a slightly more powerful 2.3 liter engine, power windows, door locks, sun roof, and all other power options... some of the more rare options only availible on the GLS were power seats and the most rare was the 417 sport appearance package. I was lucky enough to have ALL of the availible options on my car.

Whats up bro, I actually moved to Myrtle Beach, Do not have the tempo now BUT I just got a ZX2, I am excited to get started. I want to get back into the car audio shop like I had in Ohio, BUT I am in graphics. I am doing vehicle wraps, and you know me and my lights I found a way to light the wrap up, HOLY CRAP. Well anyways if you know anyone who wants to wrap their car Let me know man OK. I am doing them really inexpensive and I am all over the country all summer long doing the installs. this winter when it dies down, And if I do enough wraps I will be sporting the ZX2 . LOL

Thanks for stopping by,bro and givin'my SHO some love...and I checked out this tempo,and i have to say that you did a good job dressing it up...once you put the rims onthe whole look of the car was transformed!...and lol,after watching the videos on pg. 5 I know why you blew up two motors,but it still think this is one of the coolest tempos that I have seen!
