Susan's convertible project
We found this '63 Lemans convertible in Minnesota. It originally came from Sedar's Pontiac dealership in Mason City, Iowa. A 31,000 mile, one family owned car that sat so long the engine got stuck and the rocker panels rusted out.
326 engine code 71X bored to 350 cubic inches. Stock cam, 4 barrel, dual exhausts so it idles and runs fine. Not the original engine.
Dual exhaust kit from Classic Car Exhaust Systems in Ohio.
DCP 8149
The finished product is very nice, but not a concours show car. We hope to drive it to many car functions next summer.
The happy owner with her "new" 1963 Lemans!
tail light panel and trunk "326" emblen installed.
Solid floors for a convertible due to years of inside storage.
Paint and body work done by Al's Body Shop in Ellendale, MN.
