Overview of 1968 Pontiac LeMans For Sale by Owner

Named after the French city of LeMans which is known for the world’s oldest active endurance race called the 24 Hours of LeMans, this third-generation 1968 Pontiac LeMans 2-Door Hardtop is definitely a sporty car whichever way you choose to look at it. Draped with lovely Regimental Red paint, this beauty rocks a 455ci V8 that’s been bored 0.040 over, a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a HO dual exhaust system. There’s much more included as well with the sale of this 64,328-mile machine from Cincinnati, namely the original window sticker, owner’s manual and Protect-O-Plate. So let’s take a tour of what you’ll be getting, then?

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in Regimental Red, this 1968 Pontiac LeMans 2-Door Hardtop is definitely a head turner as it rumbles by, or screams down a drag strip. The car comes with a black vinyl-upholstered hardtop, as was a popular option back in the day. It rides on Pontiac Rally II wheels and features hood pins. But wait, there’s something else on the hood! Why it’s the quirky hood-mounted tachometer that is outside the car, but sits facing the driver, visible through the windshield. This car also has stainless steel rocker panels. The black interior of this 1968 Pontiac LeMans 2-Door Hardtop features a deluxe wooden steering wheel, and shows off the famous Hurst ‘His & Hers’ dual shift gate shifter. The idea behind this was that back in the day, those who wanted to drive the car like a regular automatic could simply slot it into D and cruise away, but when a more dynamic driving experience was desired, simply moving the shifter into the next gate unlocked proper manual shifting of the 3-speed autobox. This car comes with the original dash and center console, we’re told. It’s also got a Sony upgraded sound system, hidden away to avoid spoiling the Sixties aura of the car.

Engine

This 1968 Pontiac LeMans 2-Door Hardtop has a 455ci V8 that’s been bored 0.040 over for a little more pep. The engine has reportedly got Keith Black 5140 forged Icon 455 pistons, a Comp Cams 268H camshaft, Ferrea stainless steel valves and ported plus polished cylinder heads. It breathes via a Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. The transmission is a TH400 3-speed automatic unit driving an Auburn HP Posi rear end with Yukon 3.36 gears. The car also comes with a 4-core radiator, power steering, power brakes and electronic ignition.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
