This is a really nice piece of Pontiac history. I'm digging the bench seat and four on the floor, so old school. Whoever ordered this car knew what they were doing.

That would be a good reason for the GT in 1974. What puzzles me is why they also had a GT in 1973. It's nice to have choices, but I never understood the reason for a 73 GT when there was already the 73 GTO, plus the 73 Grand Am. Maybe it was for somebody wanting something sportier looking, but with the smaller 350P engine, instead of the 400 engine that was the base engine for the GTO and GA, with 455 optional on them.

Like the GSX, that Lemans was daily driven, and not garaged at night. After about 5 years, in its last days, I remember it had a bunch of grey primer spots on it, looked like initial door ding repair or something. And then it was gone, replaced by something pathetic that I do not remember.

The pronounced 'pontoon' fenders/quarters really gave the coupes a sporty look, and those honeycomb wheels was the icing on the cake! LeMans Safaris were just as sweet that emphasized luxury, but get one without the faux wood grain, raised letter tires on Rally ll's (or honeycombs) and it's a sporty wagon!

Black vinyl interior with a Gulfmist Aqua exterior. I have owned this car since march 17th 1981 when I was in grade twelve high school. All numbers matching. Engine, Muncie M20 transmission and 4BBL carburator. 37,286 miles and still has the original T3 headlights. The other one which is Slate Green resides just up west of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

My best friend had this same car when he turned 16, was a 400 2 barrel auto - same color with white bench interior, and I believe his had a hard top. All of them very rare - almost none left these days. Love the GM A body colonade style, I have a 74 Buick Century GS 455 myself. Thanks for posting! Pontiac and Rod bearings.....yes sir been there. My other old car is a 1970 Tempest GT37 with 400 4 speed. I learned the hard way on Pontiac motors. The oil pump / pan / pickup is ok for general use, but if you are going for any amount of performance or drive it hard - a better pan / oil pickup is super beneficial! I found when I would hold 3rd gear during long sweeping RH turns the oil pressure would dive to Zero (oil pump cavitates). I took out a rod bearing on my nicely rebuilt 400, and a 2nd replacement 350 the SAME way. After fixing the 400 again and putting in the new pan and pickup no troubles at all. I can now dive into corners as fast as I want and no drop in oil pressure. Really nice car there....I see you drive her real "nice" , she should hold up just fine.

Nice ride, Pontiac had cast connecting rods not forged steel and when they were revved above 5500 connecting rods would go out of round and spin a rod bearing. They weren't made to rev more torque engine's. Only super duty trans am came with steel Rod's in the 70s era. Over revved many Pontiac engines in my day.

That car captures that era perfectly. Sleek but voluptuous lines, curvy and lithe. Very different from the 64 leMans tempest I had. ✌️🖖
