Phil Jobson's 1965 LeMans

Enthusiast Phil Jobson bought his LeMans in 2000 for a mere $500. It had been previously garaged for 23 years. The only thing that needed to be replaced was the rear deck by the window. The car is painted burnt orange. It's a 3-stage paint with pearl. Powerwise, there's a .030"+ 400 engine running an Edlebrock RPM performance package (87 cc E-heads, intake, timing chain, lifters and cam). A Holley 750 DP mixtures the fuel which is ignited by a MSD 6AL analog control timing box. Exhaust gases pass through Heddman headers, through a 2.5" Pypes X crossover system and muffled by a pair of Flowmaster Delta 40s. A THM-350 with a 2800 stall converter transmit power to the Old's 12 bolt rear that is running 3.73 gears. Suspension mods include Edelbrock boxed trailing arms and stabilizer bar. The interior is parchment colored.

Phil Jobson lives nears Traverse City, Michigan.
