Nice find...Was the price right?

EDIT - a sprint with A/C & a manual trans - really nice find. 3 or 4speed?

I got it from my Father-in-Law after about 5 years of negotiations. He let me have it for $500.00 if I would get it out of the garage it's been sitting in since about 1977. I've been drooling over this car since the first time I saw it.

And you are correct, factory A/C and a 4 Speed with the Hurst shifter.

NICE...very nice! Congrats! Love the rear end of the 66 LeMans...those curved tailights, that chrome strip that runs along the trunklid...sweet!

Nice colour - what about the interior, is it blue as well?

Ive been going back and fourth about changing mine to GTO taillights for years. I cant decide becuase I feel the same way. The back end of that car is too cool to mess with.

Yours has a hood scoop, right?

Either way, I wouldn't mess with that back end...love those curved lights. The 66 GTO taillights are way cool also...but I'm loving the LeMans!

I do have a perfect GTO hood in the garage waiting to go on the car. Its even got the hole for the hood tach. But in answer to your question Paul, its just got the LeMans hood right now. Ive been holding off becuase once I get the hood off, I KNOW there are things that Im gonna want to change.

I've got a while until mine is ready for paint, and I'm torn between leaving the original hood (and saving $500) or popping for a GTO hood - love that hood scoop.

Mine's a sleeper w/a 455 so I'm thinking the stock hood will add to that appearance...but I LOVE THE HOOD SCOOP!!!

I know the feeling. Mine was free & I'll never sell it (however I do have a lot of $$ in finishing it). Too much sentimental value.
