With great regret I am having to sell some of my cars due to an emergency. This is a true southwest barn find, unmolested, original inside and out, new vinyl top, matching numbers everything, absolutely no rust, rebuilt engine and transmission. It has all the GTO options offered back in 1972, so it's LeMans Luxury with the soul of a GTO. Windows roll down, moldings are in place, weatherstrip are in good condition. Solid floor boards, trunk, frame and body. No bondo or patches have been found on it. Some of the options are: Original 400 6.6l Engine numbers matchingOriginal TH400 Hydramatic transmissionOriginal 10 bolt differentialBucket seats and center consoleF41 suspension that includes front and rear sway bar with heavy duty front and rear shocks and coil springsPower disc brakesDual exhaust Power steeringTilt steering wheelBuilt-in rubber foot padChrome surrounds on brake and gas pedalDoor pull strapsCarpeted lower door panelsDefrost window It runs, drives and handles good (the handling is great with the factory suspension package it has) of course it is in daily driver condition, need minimum restoration, the things I had on my list to fix where passenger seat upholstery, head liner, rear bumper balance, windshield, to finish connecting the A/C compressor and of course a new paint job but is a great candidate for a full restoration with minimum investment. I was planning to restore it to the Luxury spec but it could be also a perfect candidate for a GTO due to all the options included. I just hope it finds a good home. Shoot me with an offer and any questions you might have, I have tried to cover all the good and bad about the car but I am sure I am missing more details, please do not hesitate to contact me. Some history... In 1971, the Tempest nameplate was retired and Pontiac promoted the Le Mans nameplate to full-series status to identify all of its intermediate models, which still included the GTO. At the bottom of the line was the Pontiac T-37, previously known as the Tempest, and now expanded to include two- and four-door sedan along with the original hardtop coupe. The GT-37 option was available on both the two-door sedan (pillared coupe) or hardtop coupe. For 1972, all Pontiac intermediates were now Le Mans models and the low-priced T-37 line was replaced by a base Le Mans pillared coupe. The top-line intermediate was the Luxury Le Mans, available in hardtop sedan and coupe models, featuring plusher interiors than regular Le Mans models. The Le Mans Sport was available as a two-door hardtop or convertible featuring Strato bucket seats and plush interior fittings from the Luxury Le Mans. The GTO was changed from a separate series back to an option package on Le Mans and Le Mans Sport coupes. Replacing the previous GT-37 option package for 1972 was the new "Le Mans GT" option, available on Le Mans pillared and hardtop coupes with any V8 ranging from the 350 two-barrel to the 455 HO four-barrel, and also included the same appearance and handling items carried over from the GT-37. The Luxury LeMans Series included a unique front end with a grille that featured twin cavities divided by horizontal blades. They had full-length bodyside moldings, fender skirts, and roof pillar letter badges. Standard equipment included all the items found on the base LeMans plus all-Morrokide bucket seats. Morrokide or cloth and Morrokide upholstery was for the upholstery, there were carpeted lower door panels, custom cushion steering wheel, door assist straps in the front, armrest accents, astray and glove box lamps, and pedal trim plates.
