Darth- post some pics, I think anything that is not a GTO counts here.

No doubt nice "non-cloned" Lemans and Tempests have become rarer than GTO's. When I bought mine I specifically searched for a Lemans vert. Not that easy back before the internet days. GTO's were not all that expensive back then but most had been ragged to near-death, in fact I built a 68 GTO on its last legs into a dirt track race car back in the day. Anyway I knew how easy it was to swap a big engine into a Lemans. And having owned both in the past a Lemans was what I wanted.

I searched for a year or so before seeing this one on the side of the road locally with a 4-sale sign on it. Probably paid too much, but it was exactly what I had in mind and I set it up exactly the way I wanted. A wolf in sheep's clothing.
