1967 Pontiac LeMans 400ci V8, TH400 Automatic, GTO-Tribute Hardtop
in Fawn Mist Yellow Why This Car Is Special The 1967 Pontiac LeMans
occupies an interesting place in Pontiacs lineup that most buyers
overlook. It shared the same A-body platform as the GTO, rode the
same 112-inch wheelbase, and in the right configuration could be
ordered with the same engines. Pontiac sold the LeMans as the
mid-range trim between the base Tempest and the performance-focused
GTO, and in 1967 the two-door hardtop body style gave it the same
clean roofline and fastback-adjacent greenhouse that made the GTO
so visually compelling. The difference, at the time, was mostly
badging and a few option packages which is precisely why the LeMans
has become a popular platform for builders who want GTO presence
without GTO prices. This particular 1967 Pontiac LeMans has been
built with exactly that philosophy in mind. It carries a Pontiac
400 cubic inch V8 the same displacement engine that powered the GTO
in 1967 mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic
transmission. The GTO hood with functional-style dual scoops, GTO
tribute badging inside and out, and a full gauge instrument cluster
give the car the appearance and feel of its more famous stablemate,
while the Fawn Mist Yellow paint over a black vinyl top and black
interior makes for a color combination that is direct and
period-correct. The undercarriage has been coated and is clean.
This is a driver-quality classic that has been built to be used,
not trailered. A note on the VIN the model year digit and body
style code in this cars VIN confirm it as a 1967 Pontiac two-door
hardtop, consistent with the A-body coupe configuration you see
here. The engine code position in the sequence aligns with a
V8-equipped car built at a Pontiac assembly plant, consistent with
the 400ci installation. Features List - Pontiac 400ci (6.5L) V8

1967 Pontiac LeMans is a 400 cubic inch Pontiac V8 6.5 liters of
displacement that traces its lineage directly to the engine family
Pontiac developed for the GTO. In 1967, Pontiac offered the 400 in
the GTO in multiple states of tune, from a 335 horsepower base
version up to 360 horsepower with the Ram Air setup. The LeMans
could also be optioned with the 400, though far fewer buyers chose
that route, which is part of what makes a LeMans with this engine
an interesting find today. Backing the 400 is a Turbo-Hydramatic
400 automatic transmission the TH400 one of the most robust
automatics General Motors ever produced. It was the preferred
transmission behind high-torque V8s across GMs divisions throughout
the late 1960s and 1970s, and it has a well-earned reputation for
handling power and holding up over time. The combination of the
Pontiac 400 and the TH400 gives this car a drivetrain pairing that
is both historically appropriate and genuinely capable on the road.
Power steering and power brakes are fitted, which make the car
considerably more manageable in everyday driving than a
manually-assisted setup. The dual exhaust system is intact and
visible in the undercarriage photos the Y-pipe splits properly,
both mufflers are in place, and the tailpipes exit cleanly. An
upgraded air filter has been installed over the carburetor, visible
under the polished chrome air cleaner lid. The undercarriage has
been coated and shows no significant structural issues the frame
rails, floor pans, and rear suspension components appear so WeBe
