Wonder if bucket seats are original to the car?

Yes, LeMANS had the same level of interiors as GTO

Very neat car !

Have only had one 67 428 HO engine and it had the open element breather like an HO GTO engine.

That is extremely unique.
Have never seen a 4door Pontiac with buckets in front.

I know you could get Bucket seats in the 73-75 4-Door Grand Am's, Also the 78-80 GA's. But did they make non folding forward bucket seats for a 4-door in 68? I think I see the levers to fold the seats forward on that 68 4-door, but with the pictures posted its hard to say.

If you could get a 4-door Lemans with bucket seats than I learned something today, the Brochures I found online are a bit vague if they were available or not.

sorry sarcasm. The color of the front seat or seats match the interior color?

Exclamation CORRECTION

I have to admit I didn't open all the images and did not realize the '68 was a 4-door.
Then I thought it may have been a Strato-Bench car.

However, it looks like (Per the '68 Lit) it was not an option to have Buckets and/or a Strato in a 4-door.

I know with these old cars "Never say Never" only PHS would verify as built.

Sorry for my oversite.

I would think the floor pan for a 4 door would not have the reinforced inner seat mounts - so no buckets.

I agree Jeff, the brochure page you posted is better than any I could find on line, I suspected they were not original when I saw the fold over latch on the side of the drivers seat, I didn't notice the slight color variation of the front seat material compared to the rest of the interior.

And yes only the PHS or a build sheet may or may not show what it came with.

The trim tag might relate to the seat style.

The front and rear seats look the same color degrade.
The rear lower does seem to have the rounded ends like a 4door lower seat.

I would be too embarrassed to ride in that thing. It says it was barely used, but ad says it has 150k miles on it.

That could be a real honey of a car , at the right price.
32k seems heavy unless it's an HO.
At least all the 68 428 engines were "the good ones" ... at minimum.
