62 With a few twists
Here is the another sneak preview of my 62 with few mods to the grille. Purest don't fret the grill need lots of work to get looking this straight. The car now has glass in it. Working on the interior and wiring. Hope to have it at Milan Dragway next week.

Condition report
It is pretty straight and Keith you have a good eye the back bumper has a little dimple in it. It was originally a Texas car.......I have found no evidence of rust repair. Inside the trunk and under the hood look great as far as being untouched and in very good condition......It has the original and perhaps unusal cloth interior.....it is in the custom line not the LeMans. Its top is new . It has 89k. It needs attention mechanically...something is dreadfully wrong with the suspension-----lots of creaks and groans. It doesnt run the greatest either...Its idle is variable sometimes dying at stops and sometimes not. Slight rattle upon gentle accelleration comes from the engine. Its an automatic...doesnt shift quite right but the kick down cable is broken and have been told when I replace that and adjust it it will be fine. Its a manual top. I don't remember the paint color name but it is an original color------It has been repainted. I'm waiting to replenish the bank account so I can get started on these repairs. About all I can do now is look out in the garage and smile

Check your trim tag on the firewall next to the wiper motor. I bet the paint code is "L" for "Belmar Red Poly". Very rare color. I think I have only seen it one other time on a Tempest. Looks pretty good. Just in need of a little TLC!!!!!

Maybe my eyes are off. N is Burgendy Poly. Still a great color!

62 Le Mans
The first two are of the 2 door as advertised and purchased Nov. 2009, $2995. It included a complete spare engine. Both 4 cyl. 1-bbl Then a parts car later bought for bumpers and the grille in April 2010, $400. Battery was dead, pushed it on the trailer. A battery and gas, this thing runs like as champ! It will be a future race engine in the Roger Manson Rapid Fire. More pictures on the way.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
