1969 Pontiac Lemans GTO Clone

1969 Pontiac LeMans GTO Clone – Street Beast, Serious Power!

This 1969 Pontiac LeMans is a GTO tribute (not a real 242), built to run hard and turn heads. Known lovingly as the "fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy," it's a daily driver project with serious performance upgrades and tons of potential.

Under the hood is a Pontiac 406 CID engine, bored .030 over, with forged TRW pistons, a high-volume oil pump, 350 iron heads with a 3-angle valve job, 9.5:1 compression, and a Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet cam. It’s topped with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 750 Summit 4-barrel carb, and fed by a fuel cell.

Performance Features:

• Pontiac 406 CID V8 – Forged internals

• Centerline double roller timing chain

• Hi-volume oil pump

• 350 heads, 3-angle valve job

• Edelbrock intake + Summit 750 carb

• Magnaflow exhaust

• Front disc brakes

• Good frame & 5 BFGoodrich tires with solid tread

It was originally an A/C car, and all factory components are still in place. Interior and body need TLC, and it currently has an electrical issue causing a power drain—it turns over but does not currently run.

The Good:

• Powerful built engine

• Daily driven until recently

• Good frame

• All A/C parts intact

• Strong stance and sound

The Needs:

• Electrical diagnosis (parasitic drain)

• Some TLC and cleanup to finish it right

This is a great platform for someone looking to build a beast without paying GTO prices. It’s 90% hot rod, 10% project—and it’s got character for days.
