1966 LeMans hardtop owned by Kurt Kenobbie. The paint is Acura Supersonic Blue Metallic. Kurt had this story to tell, "I've been a Pontiac gearhead all my life. My Dad purchased this 66 LeMans in the summer of 1966. I was transported home in it just after I was born August 7, 1966. It has been in my family since. My Dad is currently restoring a 67 GTO hardtop and my brother is currently restoring a 65 Lemans. I'm about 75% of the way done with the car. It's near future holds a 450 hp 455ci, Baer Racing Disc brakes, rebuilt 200R4, and a built up 10 or 12 bolt rearend. As you can see by the attached photo it's quite a head turner --- I can't drive it more than ten minutes without eliciting some kind of response by passers by." CLICK->
Since that first picture, Kit has done some updates to 1966 LeMans hardtop. Looks like he had some help working on the engine. Dual Quads!!! CLICK->
Kurt installed a set of Baer disc brakes on the front. CLICK->
Here we see a serious set of 14-inch Baer brakes, taller B-body
spindles, Global West upper and lower tubular control arms
fitted with Del-A-Lum bushings, HD Heim-jointed tie-rods, and a 1 1/8 inch front stablizer bar. Also note the Afco dual adjustable coilovers.

Here's a comment from a recent visitor...
Says Todd Lloyd (lentoddlloyd.@earthlink.net) - "Mattingly, apparently Pontiac blood must flow thru your veins which automatically qualifies you as on right-on dude. Well done."
