Vehicle Description
This 1972 Pontiac LeMans Luxury lives up to its name with a bright
style and a loaded interior that includes A/C, power locks, and
power windows. But this premium hardtop also likes its GTO-style
design. And so there's a performance-built big V8 upgrade under the
hood.
Pontiacs of this era have something special about them. The GTOs
that were based on this design are cars of legend today. And while
we cherished the Endura front end of those back in the day, the
chrome of the LeMans seems to make a bolder statement today. It
matches nicely with the other bright elements like the form-fitting
rear bumper, drip rails, rocker panels, and the iconic Rally II
wheels. You even have some sporty upgrades like the full-width rear
spoiler and quad exhaust tips. But the real desire of this car is
inspired by its bright appearance. The factory-correct Lucerne Blue
has a smooth luster in the sunlight like clean ocean water.
If the exterior paint is a tropical wave, then the factory-correct
white interior is the wave's crest. Not only does the
well-preserved light color give this the feeling of a premium
machine, but also so does the wood paneling on the center console
and dash. Plus, this has some nice sporty details, like the
high-back bucket seats, a floor shifter, full gauges with tach, and
well-integrated auxiliary readouts. This is loaded with the best
features. It's everything from classic rarities like power locks,
to well-integrated modem pieces like the retro-style AM/FM radio
with Bluetooth. The rarely-seen power windows feature means you can
take down all the side glass and show off the pillarless hardtop
profile - all without ever leaving the driver's seat. And since the
air conditioning is blowing cold with R134a refrigerant, it's easy
to enjoy this feeling even in the summer.
The motor has a clean look, bright decals, and an overall tidy
style. So it's great to show off the top-dog 455 cubic-inch V8.
This is an upgrade we're told is borrowed from a GTO of the same
era, and it's certainly built for a muscle car level of power. It
includes a Holley four-barrel carburetor, upgraded aluminum
radiator, and headers feeding into an H-pipe dual exhaust. The
TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is the right mix of stout
construction and smooth shifting. And this is an all-around solid
driver with power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a
GTO-style rear suspension with boxed trailing arms and a sway
bar.
The sale comes complete with some nice paperwork, including the
original bill of sale, owner's manual, service manuals, maintenance
records, and build receipts. This LeMans is premium, powerful, and
all-around awesome, call today!
