Thats the plan!......likely next summer now. Dont want to rush the rest of it. Thanks Darryl!

Thanks Mike....It will be nice to work with new/restored parts. My last job was a survivor ,and had crud in places I never even thought of. I'm hoping to find a way to keep the 67, but am excited to see this 65 in person.

Thanks Rick, if your avatar is your car its sweeet! I probably would not clone mine if it came as a lemans, but all the conversion parts come with it and are new or nos, so I'm cool with it. I'll just keep hoping everything is as descibed!

Hey Kim,  thanks for the compliments. It looks like you have reached the pinnacle of muscle cars....just my opinion. I hope to want nothing after this purchase, but I went through this with motorcycles, and there always seems to be a dream in the works. For now, I am going to ride this wave and enjoy it. My 67 is still my baby, I put a lot of sweat equity into it, and I dont really expect it to sell, even though I will try, and I will be very reasonable with the price, there isnt a lot of luxury money in my neck of the woods, and I do drive it daily.  As long as I appear to be selling it, the wife will be happy and forget all about it. If I do get an interested buyer, it will be sold, as I cant properly store it, and I cant see paying for storage. Both cars do fit in my 20x20 grarage, but the GP is 19 1/2" feet long  I can forsee problems keeping both in there, they will likely both spend the winter in there. (I'll probably be corrected on that one) Tks again

P.S.  - if you followed my posts, you'll notice that I change my mind as often as a woman....well not that bad, but close.

Tom

Thanks Jonno....How can anyone not like this look!?

I am surprised you didn't consider Steve Fick's red Lemans    its a 455 4 speed real documented GM exec car  


Hamilton Ont...  

Hey Carl,

     No need to apologize, love all comments. I did consider that car, it appears to be in immaculate condition and priced for a buyer. The drawback for me is the appeal to me drops off after 1967, and I just realized why. I knew there was something about the rear 'look'. It is the transition from trunk to rear window, it is way less pronounced after 67 in many models. Not news to most here I bet.  I much prefer the rear windows that are near vertical. Just a personal taste that came later in life. I bet you'd smile if you took her for a spin. Not Canadian, but.........

Thanks,

Yup that's my ride, Painted in March of this year. About an 8 year Project that turned out way better than expected.

Rick, Are there more pics of your car on this site? tks

Its a gem, I'd be showing that off!   I may have to keep my 67 so they'll let me stay. 

Your new toy looks pretty nice as well, should look even sweeter when u get the trim back on. I like the tri power. Was gonna do a dual 4 set up but my buddy sold the intake from under me.
