We have 3 engines laying around our yard that can be used but I don't know were to begin. The was drive able at one point in the past because I remember driving it myself but I dont know what happened because I took off to the Army. The interior was originally bucket seats with a console and he changed it to a bench seat. Also I believe the steering column was pulled out and changed because everything I see has the gear selector located in the center on the console but the car has it on the steering column.
Photos will follow tomorrow and I hope I get some good feed back.. Lol!!

Unusual to go from console to tree and from buckets to bench, normally the other way around.
Before you get too dirty, you should get some of the details about the factory setup from your VIN. Check either Fisher Body Manual or Pontiac Service Manual for details on what the VIN number represents. That will also enable you to see the production numbers for your particular setup. If you dont have any manuals, you can also search this 70-72 forum or the web for info on what the VIN numbers mean. You might want to get manuals if you dont have them ($30 - $40 on cd, you can print what you need or make binders).
greg's advice to take pics of everything is really critical and so is "70 Lemans" direction to bag and tag everything. As obvious as it might seem to go together at the time, life happens, a week or a month goes by and you'll kick yourself for not taking that extra time for pics and part and hardware identification. plus having the pics of before and after will be very gratifying.
