what is the difference between a pontiac tempest,gto and lemans? exept other options and emblems,is there any difference in the body/interior?

i just sold my 66 gto,and i need a new hobby,and i believe buying a lemans or tempest would be cheeper than buying a real gto. im looking for a solid 1969-70 pontiac 2dr ht,no need for original.

69 differences between tempest/Lemans and GTO:

to clone it you need to start with a hardtop coupe or convertible, no gto Post cars

Body:
Front bumper
Front valence
rad support IF it's a 6 cylinder. goats didn't come with 6's but all the v8 supports are the same.
Hood
Rear side markers (shape is different, lemans/tempest use pontiac arrowhead, gto used goat crest so cutting/patching is involved to change them) not an issue if you're hanging new quarter panels anyways.
Tail light bezels/lenses
Emblems

Interior:
Door panel emblems. (same interior patterns, all you need to do is change the door panel emblems)

That's it, if I missed something chime in.

70s are more involved

add rad supports, rear valences and fenders to the list along with interior, take rear side markers and tail lights off the list

You'll also need some smaller things such as:
Fender and trunk emblems
Front directionals for the different valance panel
Different grilles for the new front bumper

Actually, the Custom S in '69 didn't have the same door panel/seat Y-Pattern like the Lemans and GTO, but a simple vertical lined pattern...
