Description

1969 Pontiac LeMans GTO Clone – Street Beast, Serious Power! This 1969 Pontiac LeMans is a GTO tribute (not a real 242), built to run hard and turn heads. Known lovingly as the 'fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy,' it's a daily driver project with serious performance upgrades and tons of potential. Under the hood is a Pontiac 406 CID engine, bored.030 over, with forged TRW pistons, a high-volume oil pump, 350 iron heads with a 3-angle valve job, 9.5:1 compression, and a Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet cam.

It’s topped with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 750 Summit 4-barrel carb, and fed by a fuel cell. Performance Features: Pontiac 406 CID V8 – Forged internals Centerline double roller timing chain Hi-volume oil pump 350 heads, 3-angle valve job Edelbrock intake + Summit 750 carb Magnaflow exhaust Front disc brakes Good frame & 5 BFGoodrich tires with solid tread It was originally an A/C car, and all factory components are still in place. Interior and body need TLC, and it currently has an electrical issue causing a power drain—it turns over but does not currently run.

The Good: Powerful built engine Daily driven until recently Good frame All A/C parts intact Strong stance and sound The Needs: Electrical diagnosis (parasitic drain) Some TLC and cleanup to finish it right This is a great platform for someone looking to build a beast without paying GTO prices. It’s 90% hot rod, 10% project—and it’s got character for days.

Pontiac LeMans Buyer's Guide

The Pontiac LeMans is inextricably linked to its famous sibling, the GTO — but the LeMans stands on its own merits as one of the most versatile and undervalued collectibles in the A-body universe. From the elegant 1964 hardtop to the muscular 1971 Sport Coupe and the trim 1973–1977 Colonnade, the LeMans offers a range of collector entry points at prices well below GTO territory.

What to Check Before Buying

Check trunk floor seams and tail panel corners for rust (probe with screwdriver)
Inspect front floor pans under carpet and full rocker panel length
Verify cowl tag and engine pad stampings match claimed specs
Confirm rear axle ratio and Posi vs open differential
Inspect 8.2-inch rear axle housing ends for cracks (pre-1971 cars)
Test power steering pump and inspect hoses for leaks (1968+ cars)
Verify convertible top mechanism and weatherstripping condition
Check for GTO-clone badge swapping — confirm all trim tags

Common Issues

A-body rust in trunk floors, tail panels, and rocker panels is universal — expect some remediation on any survivor. GTO-clone badge-swapping is less common than on GTOs themselves but worth verifying. The 8.2-inch rear axle can crack at the housing ends under high-torque applications. Power steering pumps and hoses wear on higher-mileage cars.

What to Look For

The ideal LeMans buy is a southern or western car with matching-numbers drivetrain, original paint, and a well-documented service history. A black-plate California car with numbers-matching 400 and factory air conditioning represents the ceiling of the market. For budget buyers, a solid-bodied 1973 Sport Coupe in a desirable color with a rebuilt 350 is a far smarter investment than a rough GTO.

Price Guide

LeMans values are 40–60% below GTO for equivalent condition and specs. 1964–1967 coupes: $18,000–$28,000 (V8). 1969–1971 Sport Coupes (400/455ci): $20,000–$35,000. Convertibles add 20–35%. 1973 Sport Coupes: $10,000–$18,000 — emerging appreciation trend. Base six-cylinder cars: $6,000–$12,000.

Did You Know?

The 1964 GTO was literally a LeMans option package — the most consequential option package in automotive history. Pontiac sold 32,450 GTOs in 1964 despite corporate resistance. The name 'LeMans' referenced the famous 24-hour French endurance race, a nod to Pontiac's performance ambitions. The 1973 LeMans Sport Coupe's fastback roofline was designed by Bill Porter and remains one of GM's most elegant Colonnade-era shapes.
