Description

Up for sale is our beloved LeMans. She is a pretty unique '65 Pontiac. I have owned the car for nearly 14 years and have decided to let someone else take over, as my priorities have changed. The previous owner had done a pretty good amateur restoration and it is now starting to show its age.
I only posted a few quick pictures and will try to get more out soon. I will try to be brief on the description and the car's history. I know how Ebay can be and I figure that those who are truly interested can e-mail me and provide a phone number so that I can call to answer questions. It would be easier on everyone. Nothing personal, but I am very busy and have no time for games.
Here's the lowdown:The previous owner had put all GTO badges, hood etc. on the car. I left the hood on, but the car is a LeMans, so the badges are gone. The owner rebuilt a 421 Tri-power motor from a 2+2 Catalina, dropped it in, and hooked it up to a Muncie 4-Speed with Hurst Shifter. The motor is high compression and holds good oil pressure. It hasn't run much lately, but does run. Yes - It's a beast.
The car has been sitting and some of the paint is starting to go and you can see on the hood where some Bondo was. It is starting to pop loose and there is some on the driver's rear quarter, as well. There are also a few bubbles of rust starting here and there, but nothing severe. I pretty much stripped the interior and was going to start putting in new upholstery, but plans changed. I have a nice Tempest interior including a power bench seat I was going to put in. There is a story behind that... It needs a headliner, carpet, etc, installed.
The car is NOT a basket cast and can be brought back to a driver pretty easily. The floor pans and frame are really solid. It appears the trunk was patched with some sheet metal at some time, but looks good. The brakes are soft from sitting, but the car does start and run. It will need to be put on a roll-back or single trailer to ship. Please note that I live in the boonies and that is all that will get in and out of my driveway. A full size car hauler will not work.
I will post more pictures when I can, but please understand I am very busy and I also don't check my e-mails as often as some folks do. I will be glad to discuss the car with anyone seriously interested. I would really welcome anyone nearby to come see the car.

I have a couple of items about the car I forgot to mention. It has a stock rear and could really stand to have a posi-trac installed. The car has headers and a Flowmaster exhaust. It sounds great. All glass is good. It has manual steering and brakes. It is a no frills rocket.


The tires hold air, but are old. The Rally 2 wheels need refinished, but the car needs either Cragars or stock Rally 1 wheels, in my opinion.
I will do my best to send more pictures via e-mail or text. If anyone needs others, e-mail me and I will do what I can.I forgot to add the usual disclaimer and clause...Vehicle is sold as is, with no warranties expressed or implied. I also deserve the right to end the auction early, as car is for sale locally. Thank you.
