Marimba Red 1964 LeMans hardtop owned by Justin Lovich from Flagstaff, Arizona. This was our Picture Of The Week for 9-7-08. Justin tells us, "I aquired this car from a lady down in Phoenix, Arizona. This is my second 64 LeMans. Originally sold in Los Angeles, July 1964 - It came from the factory with some unique options: a wood wheel, 4-speed, 215ci 6-cylinder, spinners, back-up lights, day/night mirror, vanity mirror, push-button radio, remote mirror, padded dash, and soft-ray glass."

Marimba Red 1964 LeMans hardtop owned by Justin Lovich from Flagstaff, Arizona. He just got done washing it. Justin tells us more, "I am doing a slow resoration. Right now the car is nearly mechanically sound, so now I can worry about cosmetics (paint, new carpet, etc.) The car is a blast to drive, and everything runs smoothly. I plan on putting in a V8 (I now understnad why everyone wanted one, the 6-cylinder is rather lame). It's a really great car!" CLICK->

White 1964 GTO convertible now owned by Richard Yong. It was owned by Jerry Swenson when it was our Picture Of The Week for 10-05-08. Jerry commented, "We found it on eBay two years ago and did a complete frame-off restoration. We've restored a few cars over the years, including a '66 GTO hardtop that was the Picture Of The Week on 11/21/04. We love the restoration process and look forward to finding our next project."

Here is a shot during restoration. All the trim is starting to come off. CLICK->
The body is removed from the frame. Notice how the braces are attached from the rear of the car to the firewall. Convertibles are pretty flimsy without their frames. PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ...
