My 72 when I brought it home a year and a half ago. Consolation is that I didn't pay a bunch for it, and floors/trunks are solid. That means less back ache. I like to think of it as a clean slate. As a 350 2bbl base model, I get to do stuff to it without feeling bad at all about originality.

interesting that both Dan's T-37 Post and the Monk King T-37 were both owned by Pontiac parts venders of the 80's.

Finaly Back On The Road
I have just gotten my 71 Lemans back on the road after 6 years of sitting due to kids, life etc.. It is a great running car that is in good shape but it needs some help with the paint and some minor interior work. Just got some parts in from OPGI(armrest pads, rear armrest, and the new rear package tray) and hope to get them in in the next week. I built this car in 2000 but had to stop when I was injured while serving in the Army. I can't do the mechanical work now, except minor stuff, due to a severe back injury, but I have found a great mechanic to help and hope to get my teenage daughter to help with some of the easier things it needs. Here are some pics taken during the restoration in 2000. Hopefully the car will continue to improve over the next year and be done by 2016.
