Default Here's mine!!

g- man, good luck the endura looks good to me.

Here's my Lemans. 1 of less than 8300 made in 68. Kinda feels like the GTO's little red headed step brother sometimes huh?
Being the GTO gets all the kudos.
Someday I'd like to have a 455 in mine like goatless has.
Know a guy who has one sitting but cash wise I'm a long ways off being able to do a swap. Someday perhaps,,,,,
Bought this because it was in good shape and reasonabley priced. 350, 4 spd and 12 bolt posi were all very attractive too. Wanted a car that I could drive immediately and work on a little at a time. so far so good.

Sorry I don't have a more recent photo- haven't taken any recently.

Good luck with the car G-,man!!

Default Hell yes they're cool!

You know for as much crap as I get for it not being a GTO, I sure don't care! It's fast, fun, and it didn't cost near as much as a GTO would have.

Thumbs up how true

Jury,

good points. Mine would've easily been 2-3 times as much as I paid for it if it was a GTO.
I'll live with the 350 for now. Soulnds good moves right along and since it's a convertable it's pretty much a ball whenever the suns out.

Take care!!


Howard

I might have to sell it soon, as I have no money to fix her up and Im in desperate need of a daily driver.

I'd love to see more pics of this one. I'm also very interested in anything that made it a 350 HO. Meaning, engine pics, any markings or other things.

Thanks!

Dennis,
Was there ANYTHING at all that denoted your car as a HO? I know you have the 350 emblem on the lower trim behind the front tires, but was there anything else? engine sticker on air cleaner? HO badge somewhere? Anything?

Also, do you have any pics of that engine bay?

Was it single snorkel over a Qjet?

Inquiring minds NEED to know! Thanks ;-)

I've been gathering good data on this option. The Hero, as it was called from Pontiac. Can you confirm if it came with chrome or painted valve covers from the factory?

Any more pics you can post or email me of the 68 HO ragtop would be GREAT!
