Pontiac’s 1969 Custom S was positioned between the lowly Tempest and the LeMans
The Custom S replaced the Tempest Custom, which had been a trim level for the Tempest since its debut in 1961. The Custom was a slightly upmarket version of the Tempest, with creature comforts like an all-Morrokide interior and a convertible body style not available for the base Tempest. A 175-hp, 250-cubic inch inline-six came standard, much like the base Tempest. Those who wanted a bit more visual excitement could opt for the Tempest Custom Sprint, which added a hotter 215-hp inline-six and some GTO-esque styling.
Pontiac didn't change its stance much when it introduced the Custom S in 1969. It was still the cheapest way to get a convertible Tempest, still came with the 175-hp inline-six as standard, and continued to top out at the 300 hp-plus high-output 350-cubic inch V8, albeit with 330 hp for 1969. Essentially identical to the old Tempest Custom,https://www.slashgear.com/1693706/rare-pontiac-models-might-not-know-about/
