1968 Pontiac LeMans

[@1967davethewave]

I had a 68 LeMans. I sold it to my best friend and he cloned it into a GTO. That happens all too often. The LeMans is an awesome car in it's own right. This one is gorgeous.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Agreed! I sold this one recently, but I just picked up another black 68 to work on. Great cars..! 😇

[@CJColvin]

Exactly mate

[@yokosomike]

My dad had this exact car when i was five years old... he had a turntable on springs that sat on the floor between the two front seats. I loved that car because at the time i could lay head to toe in the back seat and at night my thing was to do that while listening to the sound of the engine and watching the sky through the back window usually with Elvis playing. Remember like it was yesterday that big chrome button on the side of the seat that unlocks to push the seat down to get in the back. Good times.!

[@barroncrist5779]

Nice car and in great condition considering it's age. I had a '69 Le Mans that was light green with a dark green vinyl top and dark green interior. It had a 350 2-barrel engine. Great car.

[@ricksidenstricker2144]

Damn I miss the 60's.......I have to swig Maalox for days to look at a newer car. This Pontiac definately has THE LOOK!

[@vintagecarconnections]

Sure does! Took a bit of work, but in the end the wheel and tire combo, and that color. Just perfect.

[@Serpico1152]

Looks exactly like the driver's education car I learned on back then no squaresville looking 4 door models for me, and what a thrill it was to drive and be seen driving such a sporty looking 2 door car back then, even if it was only driving while on a learner's permit.

[@bigredc222]

Pontiac has the best factory rally wheels. Great car, brings back lots of memories.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Couldn’t agree more. What color was yours?

[@bigredc222]

@@vintagecarconnections I had a blue 1970, but my friend had a 68 exactly like the one in the video. I broke the windshield with my head when he hit a tree. There were three of us in the car and somehow none of us got hurt. I think all the small trees we hit first slowed us down before we hit the big one. It worked out okay, his next car was a 1970 GTO convertible.

[@vintagecarconnections]

@@bigredc222 Ouch! Nothing like memories about a certain car. Classic cars are time machines. Cheers Yevgen

[@deepwater2652]

Loved driving my Dad's Tempest - Verduro Green was the color!

[@tomm9860]

I owned a 1968 LeMans Same color green with black, carpet's, white bucket seats with a 350 that replaced a 68 400. Loved the car.

[@davidsutton9148]

Looks like the ‘68 version of my ‘69 LeMans. Verdoro green, black vinyl top, etc. Very nice!

[@vintagecarconnections]

Someone has good taste.

Had blue on blue 68 lemans love them cars.

[@tomkeuffer7407]

Stunning to say the least

[@btrdangerdan2010]

A true muscle car.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Pure Americana

[@solomongrundy1618]

I like how it makes TIE fighter noises if you leave the door open

[@davids8240]

Had one like this one. Why did i get rid of it??

[@vintagecarconnections]

Time for another? :)

[@FredCaracciola-tu6qo]

I have the same car but a convertible, April Gold with an Ivory Gold interior and a white top it’s stunning, I love your car is tough as well as beautiful!! I also think it has the perfect sound coming out of the exhaust…I’m inspired thanks for sharing

[@vintagecarconnections]

Thanks! Now get out there and hunt down another one! 😉

[@stevenwaring1111]

My first car same except green gld interior off white vinyl roof single exhaust 350 2bbl buckets yours is amazing..

[@vintagecarconnections]

Thank you! It was fun building this one, and the results speak for themselves. Wish I could keep them all. ☺️

[@arthilliker3721]

BEAUTIFUL car ... sure wish I still had my convertible. I should have NEVER sold it.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Thanks! It’s really clean. I like it a lot. It’s for rent in LA area. turo.com/us/en/car-rental/united-states/los-angeles-ca/pontiac/lemans/806486

[@euthopialis7031]

How did it do on Turo? i have the same car and was interested

[@vintagecarconnections]

Did fine. Rented a few times. But any 60s car must be bullet proof. Somehow stuff breaks. A lot.

[@allenmason5665]

That was exactly my first car.

[@AlBurnham-o3k]

Have had my 68 ,same color for 40yrs now. Mine came with the correct taillights and correct round driver side mirror. I have a 350 eng with 65,000 on it. Has black interior with buckets and auto trans center col , I didn't get ac on mine. Your car looks great as mine. I wonder what they sell for these days...

[@vintagecarconnections]

Sweet! Really enjoyed working / selling on this one. They range from $15,000 to $27,000 (for the majority of the driver - restored market) for around $20,000-22,000 you will get a very decent car that is ready to go plus minus some taste mods here / fixes there.

[@16abind]

Love it. Have a 68 Fullsize myself. Where is the location of filming here?

[@vintagecarconnections]

Sweet! That's Little Tujunga, California.

[@16abind]

@@vintagecarconnections One other thing.. If you can, do you know if those were super 44s or original 40 series from flowmaster? trying to make a choice.

[@vintagecarconnections]

@@16abind Series 40, 3" before, after. A good set of headers would be the next step up as well.

[@MrStang1320]

Still for sale?

[@vintagecarconnections]

Sold. But thanks for the interest.

[@samuelbarbary8603]

Why were bucket seats rare in these super cars especially in the Lemans and Tempest? They deserve bucket seats with automatic on the floor at least.

[@vintagecarconnections]

Check out my other video luckily that other one also had buckets and an auto. Lovely cars. 😇

[@samuelbarbary8603]

Agreed

[@chrisheidt1836]

Gorgeous
