1967 Pontiac Le Mans

1967 Pontiac LeMans 400ci V8, TH400 Automatic, GTO-Tribute Hardtop in Fawn Mist Yellow Why This Car Is Special The 1967 Pontiac LeMans occupies an interesting place in Pontiacs lineup that most buyers overlook. It shared the same A-body platform as the GTO, rode the same 112-inch wheelbase, and in the right configuration could be ordered with the same engines. Pontiac sold the LeMans as the mid-range trim between the base Tempest and the performance-focused GTO, and in 1967 the two-door hardtop body style gave it the same clean roofline and fastback-adjacent greenhouse that made the GTO so visually compelling. The difference, at the time, was mostly badging and a few option packages which is precisely why the LeMans has become a popular platform for builders who want GTO presence without GTO prices. This particular 1967 Pontiac LeMans has been built with exactly that philosophy in mind. It carries a Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8 the same displacement engine that powered the GTO in 1967 mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission. The GTO hood with functional-style dual scoops, GTO tribute badging inside and out, and a full gauge instrument cluster give the car the appearance and feel of its more famous stablemate, while the Fawn Mist Yellow paint over a black vinyl top and black interior makes for a color combination that is direct and period-correct. The undercarriage has been coated and is clean. This is a driver-quality classic that has been built to be used, not trailered. A note on the VIN: the model year digit and body style code in this cars VIN confirm it as a 1967 Pontiac two-door hardtop, consistent with the A-body coupe configuration you see here. The engine code position in the sequence aligns with a V8-equipped car built at a Pontiac assembly plant, consistent with the 400ci installation.

In 1967, Pontiac offered the 400 in the GTO in multiple states of tune, from a 335 horsepower base version up to 360 horsepower with the Ram Air setup. The LeMans could also be optioned with the 400, though far fewer buyers chose that route, which is part of what makes a LeMans with this engine an interesting find today. Backing the 400 is a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission the TH400 one of the most robust automatics General Motors ever produced. It was the preferred transmission behind high-torque V8s across GMs divisions throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, and it has a well-earned reputation for handling power and holding up over time. The combination of the Pontiac 400 and the TH400 gives this car a drivetrain pairing that is both historically appropriate and genuinely capable on the road. Power steering and power brakes are fitted, which make the car considerably more manageable in everyday driving than a manually-assisted setup. The dual exhaust system is intact and visible in the undercarriage photos the Y-pipe splits properly, both mufflers are in place, and the tailpipes exit cleanly. An upgraded air filter has been installed over the carburetor, visible under the polished chrome air cleaner lid. The undercarriage has been coated and shows no significant structural issues the frame rails, floor pans, and rear suspension components appear so
