Thu Sep 26 15:05:37 UTC 2024: ## 1968 Pontiac LeMans Hardtop Coupe: A Restomod Muscle Car Hits the Auction Block

A heavily modified 1968 Pontiac LeMans hardtop coupe is currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer. The car underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2009, transforming it into a street-legal performance machine. The most notable upgrade is the powerful 455ci V8 engine, producing a claimed 506 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.

The exterior features a striking red paint job and classic Rallye II wheels. The interior has been stripped down for a racing-inspired look, including five-point harnesses and the removal of the backseat, headliner, and heater. While some gauges are functional, the radio and heater controls are non-functional.

The LeMans boasts a comprehensive list of performance modifications, including a Holley carburetor, Edelbrock cylinder heads, Hooker headers, and a Flowmaster exhaust system. The car was originally finished in April Gold but was repainted in red in 2008.

The seller is offering the car with its owner’s manual, service records, spare parts, and a clean California title. The car has 58,000 miles on the odometer, with approximately 200 of those miles added under current ownership.

This modified LeMans presents a unique opportunity for a buyer seeking a powerful and stylish muscle car with a proven track record of performance. The auction is open to bidding, with the BaT Service Fee of 5% of the winning bid, capped between $250 and $7,500.
