3.42 was on the option list. As I recall 3.08 came with AC cars so no 2.73 on this one in any case.The paperwork would verify what it has and since it is an Oshawa car the documents are readily available. Not all cars were customer ordered remember, most were brought in as stock and the option boxes ticked by a dealer staff person designated to order cars. This one is interesting because it is a Sport Coupe without the rear quarter louvers which was a mid year and little known option addition to the Sport Coupe. From the photos the car is fairly well equipped as well.

Its a beauty. I added it to my watch list. One thing though, would a middle-aged lady order it with 3.42:1 gearing? I would expect 2.73.

Yes beautiful car ! I think 3.23s were the lowest gears you could get.

Reminds me greatly of the one I had in high school, without the black roof and interior (was blue) and with 350 Chev.

Nice find.

 I have confirmation from POCI 73-77 Tech Advisor on this one, 3.42 performance ratio available on all LeMans and also standard on GTO if non AC equipped. GTO with AC got 3.23.
