1972 pontiac lemans


I was a 17 year old woman back in 1990 or so..


I was buying my first car, I had no idea what I wanted.

Low and behold I cam a cross a 1972 pontiac lemans in metallic silver paint with a new vinyal top.

I was blow away.

Being a bit manic I bought the car before I even knew if it started or not -thank god it did....




1,500.00 dollars later I drove away -it can be seen here:


http://www.geocities.com/brandi_hunting/index1.html

scroll down


anyway


My drunk buddy smashed into my beloved lemans and it was totalled.

i was heart Broken.

and car less.




ANYWAY


forward to April 2005

Financal and health problems (manic depressive illness and panic attacks) got in the way of getting a new lemans, or even a GTO, in fact.

however:

I used my whole college loan to buy this 1971 Lemans GT-37


I own a 2001 Grand AM also.


Anyway, I drive the grand am as I restore my beloved lemans.

I will post pics after I get it painted

(along with before and after pics)

Its gona look KICK ASS when Im done.

(and my college loans are drained...LMAO)


Thanks for reading!!!

I just noticed that you dont have the long, chrome side panels that go under the doors and fender and up to the back wheel?


Ive not seen a lemans like that.

It gives the body more of a cool curve

did you do this intentionally?

Thanks Brandi,
Yes I took all the wheel well molding off & the long rocker chrome. It also had the Chrome with rubber center all the way down the body sides in the middle. I took it all off and welded all the holes shut to give it a smooth look. I might shave the door handles off too in the near future.

The wheels are rally II's, I just blasted them clean then painted them to match. The silver spoke part has 4 different colors of pearl in the shimmers different colors like the phantom flames on the hood & sides. I used the colors like the judge stripes would be. red,blue,violet&pink.

Here is a pic of the Wheel. still hard to see all the color that shimmers in them in a pic.

that lemans in the pic with my sister holding a guitar was back in 1992.

I haven posted a pic of my new lemans, I will as soon as its painted.

how the loan works:

I goto college free on the scholarships and grants.

I then take out college loans to pay for my pontiac.





The college loan is about 1.5 to 2.5 % interest.


The college loan is posta be for living expenses, ie apartment food etc, but I also work and that pays my rent and food. etc...
