Another Poncho...

Hey y'all, my name is Peter. I stumbled across the site after seeing it mentioned on yellowbullet, figured I'd join up. I'm currently doing a frame-off restoration of a '66 Le Mans I picked up a little over a year ago.

Short story, my father bought one brand new when he got back from Vietnam, and eventually sold it as the family outgrew it and needed a sedan. He and I had discussed tackling a restoration together and started looking at older Datsun Z cars and late 70s 911's, but I got the idea to try and find a Le Mans to let him and my mom re-live their younger years. After a quick eBay search, I found one less than 2 hours away that was a numbers-matching car, and was only missing a few random pieces. After checking it out in person, I knew I had to have it.

I brought it to my parent's house while they were on vacation, and stuck around until they got home...




When I pulled the cover off my car, my dad was absolutely floored, and my mom was overwhelmed (in a good way, haha). My dad has taken a HUGE interest in the car and has been right there with me when we go to get parts for it, and that's the best part about the build in my eyes.

But anywho, I'll save the rest for a build thread! Looking forward to getting this car out on the road and going to some meets in the future!
