Here is my contribution. It is a 66 Tempest that has 65k original miles on it, that came as a bare bones 326 with 3 speed with only options are radio and heater. It is still all stock except I have added a correct bench seat 4 speed setup, quick ratio power steering and plans to drop in a 455 this spring. I have owned tons of GTO's and Firebirds, but this car by far has been the most fun for me to own. I guess it is because I am not afraid to drive or modify it without hurting its value.

Probably not what you want to see but here it is anyway.

66 LeMans Nightwatch Blue, Parchment interior, 326 3/4spd floor shift car. Must have been beautiful when new. I never ran the PHS but still have the tags.

Bought it for $75 and got bucket seats, clutch/brake pedals, floor shift column, complete dash, AM radio, front clip, NICE set of beltline trim, full glass set, and some other misc parts.

Had to put it out of it's misery.

Here is my 66 Tempest Post. Bought it basically as you see it but it has fenders and a GTO hood just not installed now. My plan was to make it a drag car but lack of time has put it on the back burner. I have way too many other cars going to build this one right now.

Originally a OHC6 stick car Cameo White, Black interior, no AC, no ps, no pb, no option car. Has a 67 floor shift column now but I suspect this was a 3 on the tree originally.

MINT quarter panels with no rust. The bottoms are not even surface rusted. Frame is mint also. Floors and trunk are rusted out. Looks like windows leaked and water sat inside for years.

I also have two complete fiberglass front clips for this car. One lift off single piece unit, then a set of VFN fenders, hood, front & rear bumpers. Also have fiberglass doors and decklid. I'm hoping to build a lightweight drag car someday with these parts. I also may sell the whole works for the right price.

great tread I dont know how to post pitcures yet but I do have 66 lemans I too love gto's but I think the lemans looks just as nice and I like the tail lites and rear panel better on a lemans than a gto JMO

[FSJplumcrazy]

mmm how about an old picture, something I found on the firewall (yep the same as on the VIN tag) and a pic of the motor test fit...I'll get more when she comes out of paint

Habanero, it looks like your car has a hard post, while others, like mine do not... why is that?

Tempests were post cars standard, while Lemans were hardtops....

[6704gto]

i had a 67 tempest hardtop and lemans hardtop

[JZD_Fan]

Same here, my Tempest is a hardtop. I take it the hardtops cost a little bit more.

[Armadillo]

Here is one looking for others. 1966 Lemans 433. Link to more.

[67 Lamnas]

They could be had either way........but the Tempest was a post as standard equipment, Lemans was a hardtop as standard, same as a GTO.

[Armadillo]

More Pics. I have gotten rid of the oil filter relocator. Running 275 60 15 Hoosier drag radials tucked up in the fender well now.

[Habanero]

Just thought I'd post some more pics of the ones I put on Page 3 of the night , put some LED lights in the grill to make it look EVIL , and MEAN!!!! (some may like , some may not , but I like it ,put a toggle switch on the dash to kill it in cause of a fuzz! )
The next step is to have a cut out made on the bottom of the bumper that says "PONTIAC" so it will light up on the ground in red!!

[67 LeMans 326]

Here are a few updated pics. Had the hood repainted, installed new header panel, hood tach. Removed and repaired both grills. Also 4-speed conv. is now complete and the 4-wheel power disc brakes are working flawlessly. Installed an original 4bbl Pontiac intake and an original period correct Q-jet. Runs and drives great! Now on to the posi rear 3.55 and get rid of the open 2.56 rear. Also, going to intall a vinyl top, not sure to go white or black. Also will be replacing all the rubber seals (doors, windows, roof rails, trunk etc. as well as all new fuzzies (everything on the car are the originals and a bit dried out). Then last on the list will be to drop in the mighty 461 and the car will be my ultimate Pontiac machine!

[67 LeMans 326]

I know someone will point it out, the front bumper needs to be moved over to the passenger side by about a half inch. Unfortunately I am going to have to pull everything apart again as the bumper brakets themselves need to be bent. The original owner as he as getting older bumped into a few things now and then, hence the reason for the new header panel and the hood needing a bit of repair. Everything looks good now except the bumper needing to be centered!

I know they were available in the 60's, 70's & 80's, I was being a little sarcastic. I love the torque thrust's. Maybe it is the Chrome that I dislike & not actually the Cragars themselves.
