1966 Pontiac Lemans Turquoise Convertible

This 1966 Pontiac Le Mans Convertible features a rebuilt and modified engine and an overhauled drivetrain, according to the seller. And its exterior and interior colors were changed. This car “is an exceptional example of classic automotive craftsmanship,” he says. “It has undergone an extensive rebuild, with nearly $25,000 recently spent on upgrading the powertrain, and over $50,000 invested,” in total. “The engine runs smoother and more efficiently than when the car first rolled off the assembly line. And with its throaty sound, it’s sure to turn heads wherever it goes.”

• 37 in the second and third positions of the VIN denote the Le Mans series.
• The seller states that the 326-cu.in. OHV V8 is original to the car.
• He says that the V8 was rebuilt and has less than 5,000 miles on it since then.
• A Holley air cleaner, a Holley two-barrel carburetor, and electronic ignition were installed.
• So too, was a new dual exhaust system and an aluminum radiator.
• The shift pattern on the shifter ball indicates a three-speed manual transmission.
• The transmission sports a Hurst shifter.
• It has been “overhauled for precise shifting,” he adds.
• Code-Y on the body data plate reveals that the car was factory-painted Candlelight Cream.
• It has since been repainted in turquoise.
• The paint, chrome, and body work are in good condition, he notes.
• A gray vinyl interior with custom cloth inserts on the seats has replaced the code-221 Fawn interior.
• The updated interior “combines vintage charm with modern comfort,” he says.
• An AM radio remains in the dashboard, but a Kenwood stereo was mounted in the glovebox.
• The original radio now acts as a kill switch to disable the ignition.
• “Its incredible stereo system has hands-free speakerphone capability for convenience,” he adds.
• Speakers were mounted in the front kick panels and rear convertible upper side panels.
• Aftermarket gauges; pedal, steering wheel, and dash pad covers; and cupholders were added.
• This Pontiac is equipped with manual steering.
• The seller says that suspension has been “rebuilt and upgraded.”
• An aftermarket front anti-roll bar can be seen, and air shocks are in the rear.
• The manual four-wheel drum brakes are also said to have been rebuilt.
• The seller states “the entire braking linkage” has been replaced.
• New radial tires roll on stock 14-inch steel wheels with full covers.

• The seller states that this car comes with all original paperwork from the day it was first purchased.
• That includes detailed receipts for every service and upgrade, he adds.

• The bottom center of the header panel has a chip in it (see photos).
• The rear windows work but are “hard to use,” the seller notes.

• This 1966 Le Mans’ color was changed to turquoise, the seller states.
• Its interior was changed to gray and custom cloth inserts were added to the seats.
• The original engine was overhauled and modified, he notes.
• The manual transmission, suspension, and drum brakes were also rebuilt, according to the seller.

The seller states that this vehicle will be sold on a clean California title in his and his wife’s names. “Whether you’re cruising down the highway or parked at a show, this 1966 Pontiac Le Mans Convertible is sure to command attention,” he adds.
