Whatsamatta Tom, you got somethin' against the lows?

I can just imagine how nice a '64 LeMans or GTO convert would look done up right.

No crazy custom paint or crushed velvet interior, just the factory Light Saddle interior and Saddle Bronze paint. Custom spinner caps (pictured on my car) and narrow whitewall 195/75-14s on stock 14X6" wheels.

Cut-down springs all around or maybe even a pair of airbags in the rear that are a bolt-in, no cutting or any kind of permanent changes. Fender skirts on the car or off, depending on my mood.

Pontiac lowered all of their show cars and the cars shown in most of the promotional pics, the Pontiac designers and promo guys knew they looked sleeker and more appealing with a good lowering job.

There's no ride like a low-ride.....

I just don't get the 13" Dayton thing. I could go for some 14" Supremes though.



Cragar SS wheels were great on 'em too, and don't forget Rocket wheels. Any of the three are great-looking classic 5-spoke wheels, I never liked the trend towards wire wheels on the lowriders.

It's one extreme or the other with those guys isn't it?

I wonder if those skirts fit a wagon...

Hello everyone, New member here from central PA. Thought I would jump in and try to post a pic of my girlfriends 65 tempest. Pic is when we found it july 2009. Since then it has been in the garage being fixed up. Floor patches welded in, trunk repaired, rust repaired, tune up, chrome engine accesories, working on the interior, etc... Hope the pic posts,



The car is going to be her everyday driver, 326-2bbl, 2 spd auto, power steering and A/C, bench seat. Just your basic grocery getter. TooLow[Craig]

Thumbs up I was looking for the tale end of a 65 GTO

Not many were shown, Many great looking 64s and 65s. I need to know how long the crome pot metal on the 65 is please? I looked at 16 pages of 64-65s The one that jumped out to me is the 1965 Lemans NightWatch Blue the owner Ponchonorm.Thank you all your friend Randy.
