That is about as Base of a 68 Lemans Sprint Convertible as I have ever seen, 3-speed manual, manual steering & Brakes. The original Battery tray must have rotted away, as it has a V8 Battery tray in it, the OHC-6 batteries were mounted on the passenger side closer to the Starter.

Very nice looking car though. I agree rare model even when new, once the Firebirds came out in mid 67 the sales of the A-Body Sprints took a nosedive.

That '68 has been for sale for a while now. Nice but Not a Sprint.

Was the Vega an aluminum block? I seem to remember my dad telling me about that car.

Yes an aluminum block with silica mixed in before the casting. Thought was it would not need sleeves in the cylinders. They were wrong! Also a single overhead camshaft with no lifters.

Wow. That's a heck of a first post!

I don't usually defend Bob but he lives where winter is usually 4 or 5 days long instead of 4 to 5 months. Very different lifestyles in the short day months. Bob probably missed the Kings home port listing.
