Let me first say - I owned this car back in the 1970s.
It is NOT a Lemans and it's NOT a GTO either.
It's actually a modified Catalina but it has no markings to reveal this fact. This model is simply called: "2 + 2". ID markings are located on both rear quarter-panels, the truck lid, near the driver side headlights, and the glove box console.
YES, that absolutely cool tachometer on the hood is factory installed (stock)
Too bad this video excluded the fabulous body - especially the front-end."
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
Riddle me this Batman. Why does it have a “Ventura” nameplate in the center of the dash?

@dbl1956
This 2+2 had the Ventura optional interior which was available on the Catalinas and 2 + 2 beasts. The nameplate is correct.
