Just kidding, Great looking cars ! I will be anxious to see progress pics on the Lemans...

I know it's been a couple months since my last update but I ran into a couple problems with the car. The motor overheated and when I tore it down I couldn't believe that it was still running. Needless to say the motor needed to be rebuilt (for the second time, evidently) so I had it bored another .030 over, bringing it to .060 total. Everything is stock replacement on the rebuild except the cam and intake. The car is eventually getting an LSx swap so I didn't see spending extra money to beef up this motor to much. The cam is purely for the cool factor and to keep me going until the LS motor gets in there. Anyways here's some long overdue photos of the motor, freshly rebuilt and the car as it is now. These are the only pics I have on me (phone) so there not the best quality.

Thanks Monte. The previous owner told me it was crystal turquoise, which is a Pontiac color IIRC

Welcome! A '69 Lemans was my driver training car when I got my license in '74. I managed to get every wheel on Mom's car in separate incidents.

Have fun with the project, they definitely have potential and aren't a dime-a-dozen like those crappy '69 Camaro's.

Thanks Sieg, I'm right there with you. My first car was almost identicle to the one I have now. You're definetly right though, they have potential. There GTO's with, IMHO, a nicer front end
