An automaker has got to be quite bold when naming a car after a classic French city and a legendary 24-hour race. That automaker was Pontiac, when they revealed the LeMans as a stand-alone model in 1963. Previously, the LeMans was the top trim level for their Tempest model. Produced over six generations, the LeMans is now a highly sought-after classic, particularly first and second-generation models. Our featured 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO is a lovely first-generation model that awaits a new owner having reportedly traveled under 28,000 miles. Let’s discover what it offers and why you should add it to your collection.
Light Blue is a very sixties shade of paint, which is precisely what this 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO wears, being a sixties car. It’s a stunning shade, somewhere between a Sky Blue and a Robin’s Egg Blue. Of course, it’s accentuated by ample garnishing of chrome, another Sixties hallmark. Even the stacked dual headlamps are framed by the shiny stuff. The car rides on a pleasing set of silver and dark blue alloy wheels, wearing Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, but the current owner will include the original wheels with the sale. The interior of this 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO is a Sixties time capsule in all its black, leather-upholstered glory. We’re told that while the seating material is original, the front seats have received new insulation and padding beneath it. The original instrument pack, replete with a tachometer, faces the driver, who will grip a sporty wood and metal three-spoke steering wheel. Meanwhile, there’s a white cueball-style gear shift knob and a trio of white-faced auxiliary gauges mounted lower within the center console. Creature comforts include a push-button radio, but we’re told that there’s no air conditioning. However, this is an easy aftermarket installation if you desire.
The party piece of this 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO is its 389ci V8 that’s fed by a trio of 2-barrel carburetors (known as the Rochester Tri-Power set-up), and drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. We’re told that the car has received new mufflers, a new timing chain, new timing gear, and new distributor wires in 2024. The original distributor is available too. Factory power figures hover around 360hp, and with no power steering or power brakes, this will be a car that demands total concentration to drive swiftly. Are you up for the challenge?

Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
