Just picked up a 69 Lemans but I've been a Pontiac guy for a long time. Bought my first 71 Lemans in 2000 and daily drove it for years.

This 69 is more of a street/strip car than a daily as the supercharged 455 is a bit much for a daily. 700 horsepower and 765 ft lbs of torque going to a built Turbo 400 and a 12 bolt with 3.55 gears and posi. Hope these aren't too many pics for an introduction.

Thanks, it's been awhile since I was on the Pontiac forums due to kids, Army service and life but I'm glad to be back. This was my 71 Lemans when I was stationed at Ft Hood.

Welcome. Thankz for your service and sharing your pic's. NO such thing as too many pic's around here. Look forward to chattin it up in the forum.

Welcome to FP and the madness! Talk it up in the forums.

So this is more of a street/strip than a cruiser huh? So what are you plans for it?

Once I get some mufflers on it it will be a weekend cruiser and possibly go to some car shows. The exhaust is straight pipes from the headers to turn downs and it's so loud it's getting too much attention. Police in our little town are pretty cool but this is pushing it a little. I might look at getting a retro AC for it but I'm not sure how that would work with the supercharger mounted where the AC compressor usually sits. As far as strip time goes, I'll probably just take it to a test and tune until they kick me out for no cage. I'd guess it would run mid 10s with a weight of 3,400 pounds and 700 horsepower but I won't know unless I get to the track.
