A highschool buddy had one of these. We went everywhere in that car. Something very unusual happened to me about 10:00pm one Saturday night. As usual, we were out cruising in his green LeMans and for a Saturday night, 10pm was still early. But for some reason, I just wanted to go home. About 10 minutes after dropping me off my buddy took a turn too sharp, and yes, driving way too fast. He hit a mailbox and then a culvert. The LeMans became airborne, rolled over and landed hard upside down. My buddy didn't even get a scratch but the LeMans was totaled. When it landed it did so on the front passenger side. The roof was so crushed on the passenger side that it drove the passenger seat into the floorboard and under the dash. Had I not acted on my unusual feeling to go home that night I have no doubt that I would have been killed or worse. We did some crazy and insane things back in those days. The fact that most of us lived is an absolute miracle.
Truth be told, almost NONE of us ever acted right when we were young. But the reason we're old and wise is because God protected us when we were young and dumb!
Yes, it is the 1974 LeMans Sport Coupe, as the badge says and the color is Limefire Green. I still have a can of it in the garage. I had one in that color with a white interior and roof with the opera windows. Lovely car, it was my first new vehicle.
@@gaknskk not all have louvers but the dashboard is the only way to tell if THE GRAND LEMANS HAS THE GRAND PRIX DASHBOARD,If you notice the dashboard on this car Is the LEMANS DASH.
My first car..... WOW beautiful. Brings back memories 😎 to be 16 again!!!

Miss my 75. Just a fun car never should have sold it
This is the Sport LeMans. The Grand model had smaller quarter windows and fender skirts!
They didn't have a Grand LeMans in 74, they were called Luxury Lemans still at that point, but you're right, it's a LeMans Sport Coupe
Awesome car, I'm sure it sold for a great price, my cousin had one, it was his first automobile, he said he had a lot of fun with it
The frame under the passenger seat has a lot of rust when you panned over it. It makes me suspect it may have been flooded?
My 1974 had skirts on the back wheels. How much ?
Does it have a town and country horn?
Still have it bro??????
Is the car sold ?
This car has been sold! Please check out our current inventory at:www.coyoteclassics.com/
