Before I move the 4000 mile red '72 Lux LeMans off of the concrete apron for its visit with the air ratchets and sawsall, maybe my son and I can set up a few canopys and serve wine and brie to all invited visitors, since that particular Lux LeMans had "survived" (only because it was lightly rolled in '72 and saved by a "fixer")
Rusted and wrecked cars aren't survivors.

Single Exhaust...for now

4 bbl carb, rpm performer manifold, headers, duals, maybe a more aggressive cam, add a small stall converter, hood tach, shift kit?, rear spoiler.
I have pretty much all of that laying around anyway. Shouldn't really cost me any money to add those items.

Hello All,
I have been giving it a lot of thought this weekend, and I will try to sale the car first. I will have the price set at $15K. I would like to offer it up here on PY first, and if there is no interest here, it will probably hit EBay later this month. If it still does not sale then the mods will start. Dual exhaust, 455 HO, Headers, 3.23 rear with posi, and maybe a 4 speed. I want to thank everyone for your input.

Cars like that should have Hot Wheels logo's on them.

Maybe. I was drawn to the fact that it has incorrect 72 turn signal with a 71 grill.

Regarding the goofy flares/ground effects, Looks like a late 80's Pontiac stylist got a hold of an old GTO...
