Default 1963 Pontiac LeMans Convertible

I’ve been looking for a little beach buggy for the last couple of years.

You never know what is hidden around here

Beautiful condition! I had a '64 coupe for many years. I don't remember the engine size, but it had a 4-speed on the floor and as much of a GTO suspension as I could get. Very cool. My family owned a Pontiac dealership at the time but my dad thought the GTO had too much power. I now have a Porsche GT4, sweet revenge.

Sweet! Really like the grill and quad headlights. I hope you have a ton of fun with it.

Englebert can probably get you LED headlights to fit the sealed-beam slots...

Love the old-school wide-track styling....even if my dad had a later '66 GTO with the stacked lights.

326 V8 with the High Output option, three speed manual on the floor. The car was designed by John Delorean with a front engine and a rear transaxle connected via a torque tube. IRS from the Corvair. Some very interesting engineering work on this one.

She cleaned up nicely
