Help me find my '65 Pontiac LeMans — last known location: Springfield, OR
Hi everyone. I'm trying to track down a 1965 Pontiac LeMans (GTO Clone) that I owned back in the early nineties. I sold it in 1992 to a man named Jerry Hooton in Oregon, who owned Fins Drive In in Springfield. I recently reached out to Jerry (before losing my Facebook), and he told me he'd sold it to a local guy whose name he couldn't remember. Around 2020, that same person came into Fins and mentioned he still had the car sitting in his garage, not driving it.
So somewhere in the Springfield/Lane County area, there's a charcoal grey '65 LeMans with a red interior and custom pinstriping, garaged and unused. It has a 398 bored over to 400, Edelbrock intake, Hooker headers, and dual 2" exhaust. It originally wore California plate 422 ZNH when I had it.
the only evidence I have are the photos I got from Jerry when he and I spoke in 2022. The photos are shot at Fins in the early nineties. The first photo is dated 6/16/94.
I would be interested in offering to buy back the car from the current owner, but mostly just want to know that it survived.
Any leads, even small ones, mean a lot. Thank you.
