Here's my beater

Her's my beater, been sitting since 1999, going to get it running in the next couple weeks. It's a 68 Lemans 350 HO, 320 hp, 3 speed manual, posi, PS, PB...meridian turquoise with gold ivy interior...very odd car huh. I got the PHS on it, and it had special ordered radial tires also...I didn't even think they had radial tires in 68'??? I bought it from the original owner 3 months ago. I talked to the owner for a few hours before I bought it...very nice man, awesome stories about him and the car. He wanted someone to preserve his car and baby it...I told him that I was the guy, and he sold it to me.

Add a nice set of day-2 wheels... and you'll be all set!

Don't restore a thing

Very very nice lemans Sir. Love the color combo and the buckets seats. Add some day 2 cragars and drive that beauty!

I'd add only a set of Coker F70 pinstripe whitewalls with those stock wheelcovers. You don't see that every day. Would definitely turn heads.

I was thinking about some F70-14 redlines, they might look good also...but the white pinstripe tires might look even better

This is a VERY cool car! I haven't seen one in this color combo before. As for radials, they were first available (for Pontiacs anyway) on 1967 Firebirds. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
