Default pics of my new Luxury LeMans

My new Car was purchased on Ebay. I may have paid more than some would but I think it was worth the $9500.00

What do you guys think?

It has the stock motor with an Edelbrock Performer and Carter Q-Jet 4 Barrel

If your planning on keeping the car It dosen't matter what you paid for it.
Plus you already said you think it was a little high for the car. It's a nice luxury Lemans that will still get the thumbs up from many.

I think you made out very well. I picked up my 72 convert for 13 about 2 years ago, and I think yours looks better than mind.

Thanks for the compliments and welcomes guys!

I have figured out a little late in the game that I should have posted these pics in another forum; can this thread be moved?

Looks like a beauty. Having A/C is a big plus in my opinion. Good luck.

The A/C will be a plus after I repair it!

That sounds like a great car LA! Precious metal, get over the $9500.........it was worth it if you like the car, and when others like seeing it go by on the street.

Post up more pic's of the car.

Looks very nice to me. $9500? Like they say, a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I am definitely over the $9500.00 ! I was just wondering what other Pontiac owners thought about it. I absolutely love the car, and people certainly turn their heads for it. I will take some shots of the engine and post them. Thanks for the compliment!

I think you did real good, Is it Sundance orange ? I love the color combo that you got. I paid 2 grand for mine but It needs alot of work such as floorpans/trunk, quarters, paint...engine rebuild... I will have to spend over 9500$ to restore it. I bought it because it's numbers match 400 4 barrel car same as GTO drivetrain, buckets console.

Thanks, Yes it is sundance orange and saddle interior. These are the original colors but a new paint job and most of the interior has evidently been replaced. The car has had what I call a poor man's restoration. The previous owner repainted and cleaned everything. If it couldn't be cleaned or painted it was replaced. He did it on the frame and did not complete it but it is close enough for me to give up $10,000.00 for it! The paint job is certainly not top shelf, but for a daily driver it is great. I don't have to worry about small road chips and such.
This one came with a 350/2 bbl and M38 th350 auto.

"Refurbished" is a pretty good word to use............that's my situation too.
