Another stray has found it's way into my hands. Seems like I have a singular ability to attract cars no one else would want.

Anyhow this one is a 69 (naturally) LeMans four door hardtop. They were pretty low production (5 or 6 thousand I believe) and like any 4 door, just about non-existent today. It's a one owner car bought new in central Oregon and garage kept since new. Rust free and very original it seems to fit in to my collection.

She is optioned like your typical lot car; AC, PS, PDB, AM radio, and a few smaller options. Powertrain is a 3502bbl, 3 speed automatic (given the AC it should be a TH400 rather than TH350). Rear axle is likely a 2.73.

I'm hoping that those ugly side moldings are stick on style (owner says he doesn't see any rivets in the trunk so looks promising). Some bubbling around the back window but zero leakage stains in the trunk which has mint original speckle paint.

I've noticed that Fremont built cars that had Cordova tops tend to have had almost zero paint or even primer under the top. Looking forward to seeing it in person.
