69 real GTO Judge rear spoiler for $950 in Oklahoma. Seels to be a reasonable ask for hen's tooth.

For you hot rod guys. 67 GTO in Iowa at $15K BIN OBO. Expensive toy when you're done. But it'd be fun tho.

64 GTO 4-speed convertible "recreation" in Florida with a reserve. Nice car in resale red (could have picked any color to go with the red interior). The wheels look good in some pics, and in others (side view) makes the car seem smaller to me. Nice car and that four spoke steering wheel is real (Homer drool).

71 Firebird 400 project in Georgia for $9500, but that's not the interesting part to me. Check out the wagon with the GTO nose behind it. Those wagons painted Pepper green with Judge stripes look very cool. The car runs and drives.

Was that bucket seat interior standard or an option in a 68 LeMans?

70 required the "Sport" for that... so just curious.

Similar questions about the "T" shifter handle and steering wheel. Were those both standard or options in a 68 LeMans?

Best way to understand the 3rd generation A bodies is that mostly they just juggled names: Level 1 had cloth bench seat and minimal decor, Level 2 added vinyl bench seat, deluxe steering wheel and a bit more decor. Level 3 added bucket seats or armrest split bench and extra decor. Here is the breakdown on the non GTO A bodies:

1968: level 1-Tempest, Level 2-Tempest Custom, Level 3-LeMans
1969: the only change was the Tempest Custom was rebranded Custom S
1970: the Tempest continued, the LeMans name was repositioned to the Level 2 car, and the Level 3 was now called LeMans Sport
1971: the only change was the Level 1 car was renamed T37
1972: Level 1 car was now called LeMans, Level 2 became a trim option on the LeMans, both cars used the same model name, Level 3 LeMans Sport retained the same name and a new Level 4 model was called Luxury LeMans that included fender skirts and extra decor trim.

As for the T-handle shifter on automatic transmission console cars, the T-handle signified that the car had a 2 speed automatic transmission. In 68 all non-GTO Abodies with automatic were two speeds, in 69 both the 2 speed and 3 peed automatics were offered. The console shifter on the 3 speed automatics used a ball handle instead of the T-handle.

Great info, thanks to the 3 of you!

I like the "level 1, 2, 3" explanation... even if the Tempest and LeMans names were juggled... that makes no sense to me. Like calling a GTO one year and then calling it an OTG Sport the next...

That's LeMans is a nice looking car to me, especially the interior. I don't see it worth $30K but maybe some buyer needs that exact car bad enough to spend it.

T handle factory
steering wheel aftermarket
that interior is nice

Bucket seats were standard in the LeMans in 68. If the Decor option was selected it would have the wood dash. Shifter came with the console option. Otherwise on the column. Steering wheel is aftermarket. I believe the LeMans had the Deluxe wheel.

Thanks North, your info is always gold. 66 GTO 421 tri-power 4-speed in New Hampshire at $59K BIN. Interior is amazing.

What's with the automatic brake pedal with a clutch?

Why go through the effort of converting to a four speed and leaving the wrong pedal in.

[Cammer-6]

altho nice too many marks against it to fetch the coin
wheres the baffles around radiator for AC?
wheres all the other AC stuff?
Why take a car to this level and quit?

73 GTO with 72K miles in Illinois for $22K BIN. My least favorite of the 64-74 GTO's, tho this is a nice low mileage car. It's just that $22K is a lot of money, so you have to really be in love with this year. if you had one when you were young, prolly worth it. The front end is what kills the muscle car vibe with me. Too much like grampa's Olds.

77 Can AM project at $2.8K BIN in NY. Won't last long. Those trunk lids are rare. When a Trans AM sits for awhile, if thieves get to it, they often steal the shaker, because it's easy. Same went for the trunk lids on the Can AM's, as a lot of real ones are missing it.
