Our 1st car
« on: June 18 2015, 06:35:27 PM »
67 Lemans, I was 15. This was our backyard at home where Dad and I built our 1st shop. Before that is was Esso and Exxon gas stations.

'66 and '67 were the peak of design from GM as far as I am concerned for a number of years.  In '68, they started cranking out pigs

I've seen a couple of Goat restorations with LS engines. It's a nice fit.
