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->

Here's a comment from a recent visitor...
Says Gene Bragalone (gbragalone.@yahoo.com) - "You seem to need to addresss three diferent main reader types and you do it well. The "original" fans, the "Just get by" group, and my favorite, the folks who like to look almost original but like to have it perform well so will do things like scrap the junk ignition and ... install different distributors."
