Not sure on his claims of 1 of 10....anyone have those numbers??

Not really a bad buy it now price for what it is.... Neat car...Highly optioned too...wish I had 25K laying around :)

(Tony Soprano voice on)
You guyz should stop showing me deze tings. I already got too many projects...

Lol,..I hear ya....I've been looking at it for the past hour! Getting an itchy BIN trigger finger! :)

Per Dan Jensen's registry there were 46 LeMans HT's w/455HO plus 14 GT's. There are 10 4 speed cars in the count on the GT side but no numbers on the regular ht's. This is not one on his list as of '95.

Hope this helps.

The PHS doc's may or may not tell how many 4 speeds were built. It would tell how many total were built.

Pat, you HAD to post that link!

Optioned EXACTLY like a WW5 deal, just not a GTO! It's even got the Y99 G60x15 tire suspension! :eek:

I wonder if it still has the 1 1/8" rear bar on it?

As you see in the auction text, he's bought most everything to do a black interior. The pewter stuff is IMPOSSIBLE to find.

Hmmmmmmm . . .

:juggle:

LLOYD, go ahead and bid knowing I will swap all my pewter int. for the black :cool2:

That's great to know, IF I decide to "pull the trigger". I have NO business even considering another car. No room, no money, etc.

But . . . :rolleyes:

that ' puker ' interior is sooo ugly....

I kinda like it myself, but nothing is available. At least Just Dashes can match it for recovering the dash.

Holy Crap!

I noticed he has the plastic radiator support to bumper filler piece - a very difficult part to find.

So - saying that's a #4 car and it's a Lemans - what would a GTO be worth in high #3 low #2 be worth?

Did you notice the 455 badges on the front fender - are those factory?

Yep. All non-GTO '72 LeMans' with either of the 455's had the 455 call-out emblems just aft of the front sidemarker lamps.

Blue + Puker,that's odd!
My records show Lemans hdtp 455HO and stick=31

OK - I'll admit it, I'm really tempted to buy this car (Lloyd, want to split it?). But, is it really worth $25k as it sits? The musclecar buying masses aren't exactly beating the bushes looking for LeMans'. Outside of this small group of folks, isn't that about the value of it when it's restored??? I cringe at the thought of spending the additional $30k to restore it...

All those options except the GTO option. Would be a very unique car all restored. Come on Pat you can use one more blue one.

My guess would be 40K on that car with a concourse restoration.

Ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto . . .

I'm with you on all counts, Kevin.

Joint custody, huh?

Like you said, outside of a small circle, no way it's worth what it would cost to buy and properly restore. prolly more like a $12K to $15K as it sits. Nice that it's a CA deal though, much less rot to deal with.

Once again, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

:juggle: :juggle: :juggle: :juggle: :juggle:

Man, if it were an automatic car with a white or black interior, I'd be more likely to find the $$$.

M22 cars are def worth a BUNCH more, however.

I was/am willing to part with my Tri-Power '65 to get a '69 Judge. I would have to do the same to get this car even though I know I'd be going backwards in value. Hhmm, does my son really need to go to college?... :confused:

LOL!

I'm spending my daughter's "inheritance" as well!

Kevin, if I were going to go for this car, I'd have to seriously consider selling my silver Formula AND my '74 SD block, heads, intake, etc. The Formula has a numbers matching block, heads, intake, trans, etc., and is in VERY similar condition as this LeMans.
