1971 Pontiac “Monk King GTO 4-door”
 

No not a GTO, but it is as close as you could get to a 4-door GTO if Pontiac had officially built one.

For sale is my 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport 4-door hardtop. This is a factory T-41 Endura Optioned car. The car is factory equipped with the numbers matching 455-4bbl, dual exhaust, Turbo 400 Automatic, 12 bolt posi, front disc brakes, rally guage cluster, hood tach, honeycomb wheels, power steering, brakes windows, locks and seats (yes, car was originally ordered with all these options). Car drives very well. I drive it to cruise night.

The car is a great conversation piece as you do not see very many 4-doors equipped like this one. It is truly a rare and unusually equipped car from the factory with PHS documentation.

Car is not a rust bucket as it has very solid frame, floors, cowl and core support. But the car has had previous “Maaco” type body and paint work in the usual rust prone areas of the car (lower quarters, doors, front of hood, trunk lip, rear window channel). The interior is nice as I had the car reupholstered in original pattern. Missing original radio. Dash is cracked, but I installed a dash cap. Engine compartment needs detailing. A/C does not work (but it is all there), hood tach is not hooked up and left rear door does not open (latch is stuck). If you are looking for an interesting, rare and fun car to drive around on cruise nights or to use for Muscle Car/Pure Stock type drags, this car would be great for that purpose. Car is originally Lucern blue color with a Nordic Silver painted top, but car was painted black by a previous owner a long time ago. I also have all of the original trim and Lemans Sport emblems if you are wanting to put it back to its original Lemans Sport configuration.

I would really like to see this car go to a Pontiac enthusiast before I list it for sale to the general public. I hate to sell this car, but it is time for me to move on as caretaker of this car.

I am asking $8,500. Car is located in Houston, TX. If you have any questions, please call me. If I do not pick up the phone, please leave a message and I will call you back. Thanks. 713-296-6615 John

That's a decent price for such a rare car. Hope someone here picks it up. Good luck.

Yeah, great car and price John. Time... mine's up too...good luck!

Wasn't this car in a recent issue of HPP or PE?

Yep - the recent HPP "Factory Freaks" article, along with John's '70 LeMans 4 door 4 speed car.

I remember seeing it in HPP. Why such a low price?

pretty neat, different

Sale pending.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you John . . .

SOLD! Car is going to a good home. Moderator, please move thread to cars sold section. Thank you PY.

Congrats, John!

And what, may I ask, is going to take the "got4door's" space in your garage?

I hope to fill that space with a '68 or '69 Beaumont, the cousin to the Pontiac Lemans.

Ooooooooh!

Maybe an L78 M21 Beaumont SD, perhaps?

There were no factory L-78 Beaumonts built.

Oops - my bad. :o

Goes to show you just how much I don't know about Beaumonts!

Thats a really neat car!, great idea. I wouldnt mind that for a little family fun. I always wanted to build a 69 Judge Station Wagon or "El GTO" w/Judge trim based on a El Camino).
Awesome....hope the new owner enjoys

Wow! I have seen that car on the internet, but did not know that it was Lucerne Blue.

Recently purchased such a car a year younger, a "Luxury LeMans" which was weirdly the only factory offering of that body style for 1972, with no 4 door hardtop models of the LeMans and the LeMans Sport.

Unfortunately mine was originally a 350 2b, with very very few factory built with the larger displacement engines.

Wow! Speaking of resurrecting an old thread!
