1975 Pontiac Lemans Sport I paid $75.00 for in 1993. The 350CI smoked bad, but the car ran. Nice black body that was straight except for the crunched nose - seems most Pontiac A-bodies of this generation have the nose busted. Never did anything with it as I went through a divorce shortly thereafter and the car, along with a couple others, went to the crusher. Life goes on.
1976 Pontiac Lemans I bought off my brother in Florida with 78,000 around 1995 after my divorce. I drove it for a number of years until one day a car in front of me did a panic stop. I had some good distance between us. The brakes worked fine, but the tires let me down as I slid into the rear of him like sliding into home plate in slow motion, not able to veer off the shoulder because of a 4-foot deep drainage ditch and telephone pole. Messed up the right side nose and bent the frame rail. Still drove it a little before parking it in 1998 with 150,000. I drove the heck out of that car. It sits behind my house in sorry shape because I can't bring myself to scrap it because some day............................... LOL
