67 LeMans sitting in my garage. My dad’s first car. GTO hood, 14 in rallies on the front, 15 in rallies on the back. SS chevelle springs in the back, th350 with a shift kit, and an almost stock (cammed, different heads from the 80’s) 326 2Barrel (huge jets). With some old cherry bombs. And she rips.

Love the SeaBee and the Navy flags in the shop. I went to GM Training Center in Tigard, Oregon in 1970 and we had a 326 Pontiac in the shop to work on. The instructor told us about the issue with the 326. It was actually a 336 for the first two years as Pontiac was not allowed to badge it as such so that the Corvette would have the biggest motor for marketing purposes. It would be nice if this was one of the early engines as it would be considerably larger than you are thinking about for cubic inches and horsepower. By the way I loved the Pontiacs's and would have loved to have one then or even now.

I had a ‘68 LaMans Sport that was really a GTO without the Goat badging. Being a teenage driver in ‘68, insurance was high for muscle cars. A friend at the dealership told me I could order a GTO and have it rebadged as a LaMans Sport. It saved me about $125.00 , a month in insurance, and was one hell of a sleeper.

14:40 That's a whole lot of Valvoline paraffin! It didn't matter if you changed the oil every 5K or 500 miles. That paraffin will build up! My Grandpa used it all the time. After pulling the oil pan off of my Grandma's 1983 Lincoln Town Car and realizing the pan would only hold two quarts of oil because of the paraffin build up, he pulled the motor to rebuild it. There was so much build up in the motor, it added almost 50 pounds to the weight of the engine! Needless to say, my Grandfather stopped using Valvoline and started using Pennzoil. The United States Military used Valvoline for a very long time. The oil wasn't cheap, even in bulk. It was even more costly because of the engine damage it caused. It took a very long time, but the military got smart and started using better oils. Amazing how much longer engines lasted with the better oils.

Ok, a lot of this stuff covered on the Le Mans is true, but, the first thing you want to do is run a line list with the manufacturer. Reason for this is simple. If you are doing a Restoration project you will need to make sure your Le Mans is actually a Le Mans and not a converted GTO. If it's a GTO then you luck out big time. If it's a Le Mans you may need to get actual Le Mans parts which will be more costly because of the rarity to find. Second thing, which they arent talking about, is after you buy it. You really need to go over it for a couple days and do a long hard parts list and not just big parts but the little ones too. Sometimes the little parts will decide if your car actually hits the road or not. Yeah, try to find a 1967 speedometer and see how that works for ya. If you have to resort to too many universal parts then maybe a restomod will have to be your choice instead of a restoration project. There is a lot to be said about the video but all in all it's pretty well put together.

Every time I see a guy with a nice 30,000 car, that he's (not)selling for 36,000, and has it advertised as "over 50,000 invested", I feel a little sad inside. I know that like any hobby, there is value in the time invested in the car to just be enjoyed, but there's SO Many cars out there that have blown the budget by double or triple.

My friend tried to paint his cousins 67 lemans but his prep was poor and the paint came off when they were buffing it out. So they lost interest in the car and it sat in the garage for years getting moldy. It made me cry to see that car die there but the cousin would not sell it because it was his first new car.
