1972 pontiac lemans
I was a 17 year old woman back in 1990 or so.. I was buying my first car, I had no idea what I wanted. Low and behold I cam a cross a 1972 pontiac lemans in metallic silver paint with a new vinyal top. I was blow away. Being a bit manic I bought the car before I even knew if it started or not -thank god it did.... 1,500.00 dollars later I drove away -it can be seen here: http://www.geocities.com/brandi_hunting/index1.html scroll down anyway My drunk buddy smashed into my beloved lemans and it was totalled. i was heart Broken. and car less. ANYWAY forward to April 2005 Financal and health problems (manic depressive illness and panic attacks) got in the way of getting a new lemans, or even a GTO, in fact. however: I used my whole college loan to buy this 1971 Lemans GT-37 I own a 2001 Grand AM also. Anyway, I drive the grand am as I restore my beloved lemans. I will post pics after I get it painted (along with before and after pics) Its gona look KICK ASS when Im done. (and my college loans are drained...LMAO) Thanks for reading!!! Your fellow Pontiac'er Brandi Kay Hunting

I just noticed that you dont have the long, chrome side panels that go under the doors and fender and up to the back wheel?
Ive not seen a lemans like that. It gives the body more of a cool curve did you do this intentionally?

Thanks Brandi,
Yes I took all the wheel well molding off & the long rocker chrome. It also had the Chrome with rubber center all the way down the body sides in the middle. I took it all off and welded all the holes shut to give it a smooth look. I might shave the door handles off too in the near future. The wheels are rally II's, I just blasted them clean then painted them to match. The silver spoke part has 4 different colors of pearl in the shimmers different colors like the phantom flames on the hood & sides. I used the colors like the judge stripes would be. red,blue,violet&pink. Here is a pic of the Wheel. still hard to see all the color that shimmers in them in a pic. Patrick

that lemans in the pic with my sister holding a guitar was back in 1992.
I haven posted a pic of my new lemans, I will as soon as its painted. how the loan works: I goto college free on the scholarships and grants. I then take out college loans to pay for my pontiac. The college loan is about 1.5 to 2.5 % interest. The college loan is posta be for living expenses, ie apartment food etc, but I also work and that pays my rent and food. etc...
