Says Denny
"The car has basically all standard features. It has a Chevy 305 with a 2bbl carb.
Engine Before
I have restored and refinished the engine and engine compartment. Engine was not needed to be rebuilt. I dressed it up with chrome and braiding, looks great. All other components are original (intake, carb and engine internals) my only addition was a set of headers and dual stainless exhaust. She used to fly before the headers but let me say that now she really puts you back in your seat!
Have complete new interior (seats, dash etc.) to install. This is all original stuff. Have a set of original Rally II rims to put on and an original GM AM/FM 8 track to upgrade the standard AM radio.
The car has been in the family since new. My parents bought it new. I learned to drive and parallel park in this car! I never cared much for the car when I was young, in fact I was quite destructive. Apparently, I broke one radio and numerous plastic vents in the dash among other stuff. When I drove it the first time that all changed, I immediately fell in love and my attitude toward it changed. Never have I drove a car that cruised so nice on the highway and had so much power.
After surviving over 20 years of service it is her time to be pampered and appreciated. This car has never had any problems aside from routine maintenance. She always starts and is ready to go in any weather. It is more reliable than my newer fuel injected Chevy Corsica. There have been many times, on the coldest winter days when my Corsica was frozen shut or simply would not start and the LeMans would start up and get me there without hesitation. Simply the best car I have ever had! "
