Can I be the first to inquire as to what you paid for that fine specimen? In today's market, I'm thinking $10K +/-...

Thank you. We are very happy to have this car. Our 68 Firebird was totaled on Dec. 12 2009 when we were hit from behind. This car turned a huge dissappointment into something positive!
A full set of Diamond Back red line tires (Cooper brand) just arrived via UPS, they will be on the car tomorrow! Then, the 400 from our 68 Firebird is at the machine shop now and going through it. This motor was rebuilt 2 years ago and was putting 405hp to the rear wheels. The motor has a Crane roller cam & lifter, roller rockers, forged pistons and a brand new crank. In addition, it has #62 heads from 1969 (RamAir III), a stock Pontiac intake and a stock Q-jet. Then, I have the original M21 from the Firebird that was completely rebuilt and converted to an M22 last summer. Both of these will be going into our 67 LeMans within the next few weeks along with a pair of HO Pontiac manifolds, a complete mandel bent 2-1/2" exhaust with dual Violators and stock tail pipe tips out the back. In addition, I have a complete 4-wheel power disc brake conversion kit coming this week from CPP. So, when all of the above is complete, we will have one serious sleeper on our hands as there will NOT be any GTO parts on this car. The only addition to the exterior aside from the red lines will be a hood tach, that's it... Oh yeah, and the 400 will be dressed to look just the original 326 that is in the car now. Stock air cleaner and all! Last edited by 67 LeMans 326; 02-03-2010 at 08:30 PM. |

We bought this car 4 weeks ago off Ebay. We bought the car from the second owner, who only owned the car for barely one year. He bought the car from the estate of the original owner. We did get the Protecto plate with the car as well. We paid 15k for the car. It's a bit high for a LeMans 326 so I am told, however, this is a 54k mile, numbers matching car. The car also has a brand new set of Rally I rims, centers, lugs and tires. I was also given the original 2bbl intake and carb when I bought the car, as well as a set of NOS seat covers. The driver's side lower seat had a small tear in the seam. I've already had the NOS covers installed and the old cover fixed.

Wow, that is a great looking car. Great to see you got those pics in front of that old Pontiac dealer before they take that sign down! If I remember, that is in Orlando? Congrats on picking up that beauty!

Car looks great. Sounds like it'll be fun too after the motor /trans swap. Kudos to keeping the sleeper nature & also keeping it a LeMans & not cloning a GTO.

That 400 will seriously wake her up! I loved my LeMans prior to putting the 455 in; now she's probably my favourite! Next on the list is a limited slip and a small Moon Eyes tach on the column. Also - thank you for keeping her a LeMans.

Is the colour combo blue/blue, or blue/black?
Redlines look sharp!

Here's my '66 Tempest convertible. I have a YH 360hp 428 for it. The other is my '71 Lemans Sport 455 4 speed.

In this pic you will see there is a rip in the driver's seat. When I bought the car, the guy gave me an NOS set of covers, they have already been installed. So no more rip and the rest of the interior is basically perfect and all original....

I thought I had the best interior...mine's all original, too! I'll have to post a picture of the interior, but you've got me beat with that nifty console! Mine's white/red; when the owner pulled her out of the driveway and I got a look at the interior I had to have it. I love blue/blue - red/red - gold/gold - green/green...any matching interior is spot on in my book! When I get around to painting mine, I'm half debating painting her red...but then again the white is such a sleeper look... That is one fine automobile you own! Congrats!!! Question - you really want to put a hood tach on? Why not just a small tach on the column?

Thank you, the interior actually looks even nice in person. I definately want a hood tach, the one thing with me is, I am all about a stock, clean look. I could never handle having a big ole tach mounted to the steering column with a hose clamp. Just couldn't do it. Once I verified that the hood tach was an available option on the 67 LeMans, that was it, had to have it. LOL

 The piping is exposed on the driver's seat but other than that she's all there. It took a boat-load of elbow grease to get rid of 40 years of grime but once I did she looked practically brand new. Her name is Deb, she'll always be a LeMans albeit with a GTO hood!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
