VERY cool Pontiac sold at Mecum today
 

I saw this thing a couple months ago at MCACN. It's got damn near every option available.

Wow! What a beautiful car. Love the color combination. Never expected a wagon from the headline. I would love to own that one.

what did it bring?

Honorable mention for Fred.

I didn't think a hood tach was still a factory option on '71 models. I'm probably wrong.

$71,500. I assume that includes the buyer's premium.

I remember when I was young our neighbors had a LeMans wagon in the same color, without the wood paneling, and with the optional GTO nose. It's the only one I've ever seen in the flesh.

I think that might be the same wagon that sold a good while back with no documentation.
Was in decent survivor condition then .

I've never seen a flesh woody wagon with Endura front either.

That neighbor car was ultra rare Keith - and then ultra wild in that color.

Only ever saw 2 Endura wagons at all and they were daily driven.
Lime and Adriatic
350cid cars

Only seen 2 other 71-72 Lemans woody wagons in the flesh.
Both were in junkyards.

No the car I was thinking about was not 455
This wagon was Killer
Probably worth more

Definitely a one-of-a-kind wagon. It was a last year's MCACN and the asking price was $60k firm then. It has a buckle in the driver rear quarter panel just aft and over the wheel opening (you can see the dark area in the wood grain). Looks like it was bumped in the rear as there were other wonks in the sheet metal. Still, I wouldn't kick it out of my garage if I could afford it.

Probably only wagon made with a hood tach.

71 Lemans wagon
 

For sale not too far from me with many options; no hood tach though.

Much rougher condition but still interesting for someone looking to restore a wagon

It was a very cool car with all the options but the car has a lot of rust bubbling through. It needed a full restoration IMO. Looks great from 15' but disappointing in person.

ouch

It's probably heading for corrective surgery soon.
There are some fortunate collectors that the price is no obstacle.

I can see that big dent in the pic you provided. The only other pic I saw was the one provided by the OP. The dents and the rust mentioned in another post completely disqualifies it in my book unfortunately. It would cost a fortune to fix that stuff. Unlikely the wood grain could be saved and all of it would need to be replaced to look the same. IMO, it would need to be enjoyed as is and over 70K is too rich for my blood. Cool car though.

What a unique car! Interesting tidbit is that you couldn't get dual exhaust on A body wagons, gas tank was too close to where the left tailpipe would go. Someone added it on this car.
