Hello, I just bought my first classic car and am knee deep trying to get it back on the road and then hopefully looking pretty again. I have a 63 convertible lemans w/ the 326 and power steering.

It appears the car was resprayed before in it's life but it was last registered in 1991.

I feel bad for neglecting my 62 for so long, has a bad LR wheel bearing.

Turns out it wasn't a bad wheel bearing after all. The left rear tire separated, steel belt was exposed. Very random how I spotted it. I was tying my shoe and noticed the hugh bulge. Bought a tire and it was fine. I have since sold it to buy back a 73 Formula that I owned previously. I sold that to my brother inlaw to buy a 63 LeMans, picking it up this Saturday. Here is a tease...

It went to AZ and then traded hands again.It has been on ebay a time or two.I was OK but not in my top 3 63 cars.The new convert seem much quieter(may hearing loss as I get older)and for sure rides better.It was my favorite color though.Tom

I'm working on my 2nd Lemans convertible, almost have it ready for the paint shop. Car has factory A/C but I believe it was installed at the dealer by the looks of it. Same with the P/S unit, the holes drilled were pretty rough! It's a labor of LOVE these cars.

The last time I saw it you had it at the Belmont Shores car show. It had a for sale sign on it and it was more than 20 years ago. I'm thinking 25 years ago +-. It was the day Greg Minor came down from San Diego with a blue 62 Catalina convertible for sale.

I have a set of 1962/1963 Deluxe hub caps for Tempest/Lemans. They are in great shape. Anyone have an interest in buying them ?
