Reader AMXBrian submitted the link to an ad for a 1968 LeMans convertible. Normally, I shy away from listings with minimal information and less than three or four pictures because they aren’t particularly interesting. While this 1968 LeMans is interesting on its own, what is more interesting to Barn Find folks is the fact that it appears to be in a field surrounded by other old vehicles. The only easily identifiable one in the background is the Camaro directly behind the LeMans, but I would sure like to take a look around this place! The long and the short (mostly short, really short) of the ad is this: “1968 lemans convertible. $1,500. Factory V8, bucket seats with floor shift and console. Roof works. Good for a few parts. Text only no scam checks, no email, keep your trades to yourself. Write down the number and info. It keeps getting removed.” Though the condition of the car can’t be accurately determined from this one photo, it does seem to be in decent condition and priced fairly. This is a field find rather than a barn find, but it is intriguing. Sometimes, finds like this lead to even more exciting discoveries!
Obviously, this black car is a different 1968 LeMans convertible, but it is a good example of what the one in the listing once looked like and could look like again. These Pontiacs have very clean lines that translated well into a convertible, unlike many vehicles. Though more pictures would be nice, I think the car in the ad is better than just a parts car as the seller suggests and could be restored. View the ad here on Craigslist in Rhode Island to form your own opinion! If this car doesn’t suit you, maybe the seller has something else that will.
Too bad there’s no title, severely restricts your options IMO. Would love to see it back on the street.
Why does everyone moan and groan about titles on 30+ year old cars. It’s very easy to lose a title in that amount of time and that is if the state in came from even required them back then. I get that there is cost involved in replacing them and they could be an old stolen car, but there are places to get new ones. Would you really give up on a classic car you’ve been waiting on because it doesn’t come with a title?
Many Easter eggs in that field 😉
My little brother had one of these, silver with black top, 350 4 barrel and a 4 speed. A step down from the gto in performance, but easy insurance
My neighbor bought a yellow Lemans coupe when he returned from Vietnam in 1968
Thank you for your service Mark! It’s too bad there aren’t more pictures and information about the car, people should put ads together better than that. But I agree that it would be worth saving, if it isn’t too rusted out. Convertibles that sat in a field for a long time makes me nervous, particularly in that region. But I’d love to venture through that field and see what’s out there!
I talked to the guy and it broke in half at the rocker, the guy is no dummy. The parts are worth it. The top is worth 500, the dash blah blah, it’s not a Arizona car , it’s toast for parts, you know what they say if it’s to good to be true….
@433Jeff – Thanks for birddogging the info for the rest of us. I remember a complete detailed chassis for a 1970 Cutlass on ebay, recently. As I recall, it sold for $2,000. I may do a little more snooping.
