Default Restored Channel, 1972 Lemans.....

Just watched Restored, pull a 72 Lemans out of a collapsing shed. Car looks pretty solid. The forst episode was them getting it out and on the trailer, it was a bit of a chore. I'm sure they will get it running soon. Owner was asking $2000.00 for it. I think they did OK.

It's a 350 engine/AT, light green with a half green vinyl top. and it looks to have a round opera window(s) on it??? Is that factree???

This father/son team has gotten some genuine piles of junk running!!!

Watched the video and linked it here. Someone put odd round windows in the back, kind of funky.

I've watched a few of their videos, some of their resurrections are pretty amazing.

They pulled a 65 Ford pickup out of the woods. It was a complete rat house under the hood, all the way to the top underside of the hood. If anyone has not seen this one, it is one of the best. The best part is when they got the engine running, truly incredible...
