Thanks Steve!

Glad to read it still exists. Way too many 4 door hardtops parted/crushed etc by those failing to recognize their potential, even particularly weirdly so in the past near two decades when they were no longer 5-15 year old "used cars".

White with blue is a particularly great color, especially as it roughly mimicks the Trans Am. Seems there should be some of these cars - hardtop or even post sedan - factory ordered with the 400, or 455 (if 1971-1972), yet have yet to see it. But even if a not so desirable color, std 350 2b, would be nice to find more of these 4 door hardtops for some interesting touring car builds. Recently obtained a 1972 Luxury LeMans, original 350 2b gone, but thankfully blue inside and out, with no vinyl roof. My plan is to build it as a "what if" Luxury LeMans Sport (Pontiac only offered the 4 door hardtop LeMans Sport for 1970-71, and also dropped the LeMans 4 door hardtop, making the LML the only such intermediate Pontiac 4 door hardtop for 1972.

Would love seeing more photos of you 70 LM 4drhtp. Am curious to see how the dash looks with right hand drive.
