What are the problem areas on these cars?
What is different from a LeMans/Tempest to a GTO for that year?
Rear end different?
I don't know much about those year cars.
Thanks for any advice!

The differences between Tempest, LeMans, GTO are basically trim for the interior (woodgrain dash vs. dk aqua) Outside the Endure bumper is probably the biggest difference from the chrome nose on the Tempest/Lemans although you could order the GTO with the chrome nose. GTO tail lights are different and of course badging.
The rear would be the same, 8.2 10 bolt single track is standard and limited slip is available in any model I think.
The best thing you can do is see it in person, ask to put it up on a rack as suggested above and drive it.
Good luck.
