From the seller:
Hello! You are bidding on a beautiful 1965 teal turquoise Pontiac Le Mans. This classic still has its original “YN” coded 326 V8 and runs great and reliably. Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold. Flowmaster American Thunder dual exhaust system gives off a nice throaty, not too loud, sound. Restored ‘KS’ Code Rally II 14×7 wheels. She was frame-on restored in 2007-08 by C.C. Overhaul, Inc.

The stunning teal turquoise paint job, matching the original color, is rust-free and still shines like it was painted yesterday. Interior color is dark metallic aqua, also matching the original color. Trunk pan has a little surface rust discoloration. Car has been garage kept since its restoration. Car comes with all of the restoration invoices and receipts, documentation from Pontiac Historical Services, and many of the original parts that were replaced during restoration (see pictures). It also comes with a reproduction chrome rear “PONTIAC” body panel, and a left and right rear tail lamp bezels (plastic) (see pictures). I will also include a set of photos that were taken during the restoration process.

Coke bottle styling and sinuous lines? Are we looking at the same car? This LeMans competes with the Volvo 240 for the most parts designed using only a straightedge. Put down the thesaurus and pick up a dictionary. 😉
I was going to go with “Coke carton styling” myself, didn’t GM hit the bottle in 68?
Also that steering wheel is so very very wrong and awful.
I actually prefer the pre coke bottle look BTW.
Welp…there you have it. You’ve caught me red handed. Or what’s the digital equivalent? You see, I’ve been having a debate with Kaibeezy about AI…more of an extending conversation and a little game. Anyway, the above introductory paragraph was written by a certain thing that rhymes with FratCBD…and as you can see, the AI isn’t quite ready for primetime. Or the discerning eyes of DT readers. 🙂

Someday soon, when a leather-clad cyborg with an Austrian accent appears at your door and offers an invitation with urgency, you’d be wise to follow it wherever it’s going.
Jefe,
It was SO wrong I just figured you’d hired a new copywriter.
…or had just repainted your roadster without a mask…

I knew that.
We all knew that.
We were just waiting for you to admit to all that.
