Vehicle Description
This is a nicely restored example of a car that lets you know what
it truly was like to drive a 1965 Pontiac LeMans back in the day.
The car has a clean but honest time capsule feeling, right down to
the working AM radio.
The stacked headlights and imposing body lines instantly remind us
why the GTOs were directly related to the LeMans. This even has the
distinct Pontiac Rally wheels and redline tires. But this car
doesn't try to be a pavement-pounder like the GTO. Instead, it
reminds us of what it was like to cruise an upper-level LeMans back
in the day. This one has been resorted to remind us what dad bought
to look cool in the suburbs. For example, the factory-correct
Mayfair Maize is that ideal 1960s color. It's a modern respray, and
so the clearcoat luster only adds to your nostalgia. The crisp
lines, big chrome bumper, bright full window trim, and overall
personality has the distinction of a true cruiser.
The parchment interior has a harmonizing style against the
exterior. And this one really goes for more of that back-in-the-day
kind of feel. It comes from the slight glow of the fresh
upholstery, the plush feel of the new carpeting, the clean/smooth
dash, and the unmistakable grippy feel of the classically thin
steering wheel. And you'll appreciate the details, right down to
the working dome light and Pontiac arrowhead in the seatbacks. The
idea here is about being dad's cruiser. So he wasn't trying to be
the boulevard horsepower king or the craziest paint at the carhop.
Instead, the options he wanted were the few extras that made his
daily drive more fun. Items like front bucket seats and an AM radio
were the kind of things he could brag to the neighbors and make his
commute more comfortable.
Under the hood is the 215 cubic-inch inline-six. It looks
exceptionally clean and fresh, which makes it fun to showcase. And
this is a unique motor to have considering it was only offered for
a couple of years. We're told this engine was rebuilt less than 200
miles ago, and it fires up and runs with the kind of eagerness of a
fresh investment. Part of the experience of being a true classic is
the way this one wants you to feel the road. But with the Super
Turbine 300 two-speed automatic transmission and fresh suspension
components, this also has a nice confidence for when you want an
authentic cruiser.
The sale comes complete with restoration photos, restoration
receipts, and the owner's manual. It's time to turn back the clock
with this restored LeMans. Call today!!!
