I recently purchased a 71 Lemans Sport. Does anyone have any info on these? It is totally rust free and in original one owner condition. Buckets, console, auto, 350, factory air, etc.
VIN: 237371Z117909. Would appreciate any info or feedback on these cars. I'm new to Pontiac. (Former Mopar guy) Thanks. Dave |

Sounds like a nice car. Nothing overly rare about it though. The AC sounds nice, but I live in S. Florida, where it's practically mandatory. Idaho sounds a little chillier, on average.... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Does yours have the chrome LeM. front end, or the optional Endura (soft plastic) nose? I was always partial to the Endura nose in those last two years ('71 and '72). The GM A-bodies (Chevelle, Cutlass, Skylark, LeMans) are great foundations for solid musclecars. The suspension, brakes, engines, and style are tops, IMHO. Nothing weird like torsion springs or cramped engine compartments or rare, unobtainable parts..... As for Pontiac engines, the blocks are externally the same (except for minor differences) for all displacements: 326 on up thru 455, so much, much more performance is just an easy swap away... Welcome aboard and Good Luck with your new toy! Kirk |

Welcome to the board.
3,865 '71 LeMans Sport converts were produced. Expanded weave seat LeMans Sport interior was shared with the '71 GTO. Nice clean styling on these, I personally prefer the chrome front bumper cars [img]tongue.gif[/img] Just wondering... what color is your interior?

Thanks for the response guys. My lemans has the chrome front. The interior is off white with the open weave inserts. The dash is a tan color. Never could stand those light color interiors much. Oh well, it is super clean though. Just refinished some rallye 2's for it, almost time to put them on (can't stand those stock hubcaps). I like the "A" body hardtops myself. thanks for the info. Dave

I have a 72 Lemans Sport hard top I have owned it for about 11 years now and have completely restored/Modified it. It started out with no engine or trans and no rims or tires. I bought the car for $125 and now she is a pretty mean street car with a 455 +30 and a th400 trans. The interior is called Pewter (greenish gray in color) and the paint is Medium metallic Purple and the front end is chrome. Surprising the only metal that was replaced was the hood from being bent no other metal needed repair, and the car is from and spent it's entire life in New Jersey. I have found that there are no two Lemans the same. There is always something completely different about each one. Weather it's trim, interior, engine, radiator support, header panel (fiber glass or steel) or the endura front end or the chrome bumper front end. Even the grills are different from time to time. I have only ran into two other Lemans with the pewter color interior. One from New Jersey a convertable and the other a hard top in Alabama. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
