Thinking back, the "LeMans" was actually the pricier Tempest, right?

They were all based on the Tempest. Same body. The LeMans had nicer trim, tail lamps, and interior than the Tempest. The GTO was basically a LeMans with parking lights in the grille, handling package, and the 389 engine instead of the. The LeMans was every bit as luxurious as the GTO, just less engine and about $280 cheaper. The GTO in '66 and '67 had their own tail lights, different from the LeMans to further distinguish them. I have seen several LeMans's back in the day that had the 4 speed, console,, gauges, etc.---everything the GTO had, except the bigger engine.
