Tropical Lime Metallic 1971 LeMans hardtop owned by Tim Wellman from Varney, West Virginia. Tim commented, "I was visiting my son in North Carolina when he told me about a nice LeMans he had seen not far from his home. We decided to take a look. To our surprise the car was for sale. The lady had purchased the car new and now due to ailing health could no longer enjoy driving it. We bought the car for $800.00 and brought it home. It had 46,000 original miles. It needed some work. My son and I did all the work, interior & the paint. Still some work to be done but we are enjoying every minute of it. P.S. The 68 GTO belongs to my son." PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ...
