Freakin sharp Tempest ... love the color.

I'll say it again, can't wait to finish the GTO (that I've owed for 40 years) and get rid of it and find myself a low mileage lemans or tempest to buy ... just can't wait. Zero pressure, zero expectations with a Lemans or Tempest, nobody to impress, nobody to prove anything to ... just fun.

Darth- post some pics, I think anything that is not a GTO counts here.

No doubt nice "non-cloned" Lemans and Tempests have become rarer than GTO's. When I bought mine I specifically searched for a Lemans vert. Not that easy back before the internet days. GTO's were not all that expensive back then but most had been ragged to near-death, in fact I built a 68 GTO on its last legs into a dirt track race car back in the day. Anyway I knew how easy it was to swap a big engine into a Lemans. And having owned both in the past a Lemans was what I wanted.

I searched for a year or so before seeing this one on the side of the road locally with a 4-sale sign on it. Probably paid too much, but it was exactly what I had in mind and I set it up exactly the way I wanted. A wolf in sheep's clothing.
