But it does have a Pontiac motor. I'm surprised it hasn't been LS'D.

Why'd they bother to put a back seat in it?

Lost of work in that resto mod LeMans. Hood scoops are weird. Why would you put louvers on a hood scoop designed to contain air?

Description says automatic transmission. However the video shows three pedals and a shifter with six speeds

Classic case of trying to get out of it most of what was probably put into it...and I don't think it's happing.
There are some things that are kinda cool about it...they didn't corrupt a GTO and they kept Pontiac power. Body work and paint looks good. I wish my front clip fit that well. Looks like it would be fun but I hate the hood scoops and not real fond of that 'snowplow' lower valance or the sheetmetal looking deck spoiler. Does look like fun though. Be kinda nice as a toy...but not for that price!

Looks like you’ll have to pull a valve cover to put oil in.

Also - all that money, and the steering wheel isn’t on straight?

I kinda dig the spoiler on the LeMans. Only with the big wheels though.

It has a few things that may not be to my personal taste, but that restomod car is pretty impressive. I'd take it.

What's the deal with the 3 bottle master cylinder set up on the firewall?

One each for clutch & brake but surely not one for the accelerator???

There in NO WAY the builder of this car is going to recoup anything more than a small percentage of what it cost to build.

I like the way the tail lights seem to float above the bumper. But I think it would have looked better with a 72 ducktail spoiler
