1968 Pontiac LeMans

The Le Mans name first appeared in 1961 on GM's new compact Y-body platform as a upscale trim package. By 1969, the name had been plastered on Pontiac's formidable mid-size sedans, coupes, convertibles and wagons. Available with GM's durable 350cid V8, the engine produced a solid 265hp in 2bbl trim.

Just in time for summer drop top cruising-this 68 is up for worldwide consideration. The 1968 example here is finished in Red with a power top and a black vinyl interior. The car rides on American Racing wheels that accent the car well. Other highlights include tachometer on the hood, jack, car cover, Edlbrock carburetor and intake. The 400 V8 fires right up and the 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly.

The Pontiac LeMans /ləˈmɑːnz/ is a model name that was applied to subcompact- and intermediate-sized automobiles marketed by Pontiac from 1961 to 1981 (1983 in Canada) model years. Originally a trim upgrade based on the Tempest, it became a separate model. In 1964 the Tempest was available with an optional GTO package that later became a separate model, the Pontiac GTO, muscle car. 1970 introduced the GT-37 package. Manufactured in five generations in the 1960s and 1970s, it was replaced by the downsized Pontiac Bonneville for the 1982 model year.
