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!!
Howard

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

My '68 Tempest Custom.

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.

techteacher:

I have a 69 GTO, but if I had your LeMans I'd drive it proudly and never EVER look back. Absolutely sweet. Love the chrome bumper, and LOVE the color (my goat is destined for the same color). I almost bought a 68 endura-delete GTO, I even rented a trailer and left to drive to TN to go get it, but blew out my transmission on my truck before I even got out of town. Didn't make the trip, and found my 69 in the mean-time.

LOVE THE RALLY I's - totally badass. My only regret with having a 69 is that it wouldn't look right with the Rally I's.. *sigh*. Grass is always greener, I guess.

Talking 69 Custom S Pics

O.K. - This is my first attempt at posting pics. This is my 69 Custom S.
I bought it a year ago in Wyoming. This is the unrestored car - just a few
bolt ons that I preferred over the granny look. I bought it from the
second owner, and it was still in the little town that it was originally
bought in. It only had 1 repaint and is very straight and rust free, as the
climate is very dry in central WY, and they don't salt the roads.
