Pontiac Le Mans 455 CID V8 1966
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a beautiful 1966 Pontiac Lemans. This slick looking hard top was painted bright red last year and looks awesome. The painter stated that no panel replacement was needed, and only very small imperfections were corrected before paint. The result is a slick and smooth finish on this beautiful '66. The car sits on Pontiac rally wheels wrapped in radial tires. Pop the hood of this beaut and it gets even better. You'll find a healthy 455 CID V8 with an aluminum intake, aluminum radiator, and stainless steel dual exhaust. Backing the 455 is a 700R4 which has been recently professionally rebuilt. The list of performance goodies on this one is pretty long; some of which include: power disc brakes, B&M shifter, rear sway bars, front coil over shocks, and Magnaflow exhaust. The interior is black vinyl which is in nice shape including the dash and headliner. She's mostly stock inside other than some auxiliary gauges and the B&M shifter. This car has enough muscle to get yourself into trouble, but looks good enough to take to car shows, or cruise nights. It you're looking for a stylish Pontiac with some muscle, check out this 1966 Pontiac Lemans. You can see the car in greater detail in our St. Louis showroom or at http://www.GatewayClassicCars.com.
