Judgeman, Roger and others:

I have looked John's ex-Monk King '71 LeMans Sport 4-door over pretty well, but that was a few months ago, so I don't remember ALL of the details!

Here's what I recall - and it's PHS documented!

It's a '71 LeMans Sport 4 door hardtop

Originally shipped to Monk King Pontiac

T-41 (endura) front end option

It had wire mesh GTO grills (incorrect) when John bought it, he's since replaced them with the unique '71 T41 LeMans grills

Interestingly, the driver's side GTO grill had a rectangular cut out in it for a high-current battery connection - making it even more likely that it was used as Monk's tow / pit car for Miner's 455HO T-37 (at some point)

Originally Lucerne Blue, then red, now black

Black cloth power bench seat interior

#'s matching 455 d-port, column shifted TH400, 3.07 12 bolt posi

Dual exhaust

14" honeycomb wheels

P/S and PDB

Y96? suspension with rear sway bar

A/C, cruise, gauges, tilt column, sport steering wheel

Power windows and locks

Factory!!! hood tach - one can tell easily because of the perfect cut-out in the underhood bracing - plus it's on the PHS invoice

AM-FM stereo

Body colored outside (sport) mirrors - I don't recall if I saw this option on the invoice - one cannot open the vent glass fully because the glass hits the mirrors!

I'm sure I've forgotten some other items of interest, but it's probably a "one of one" car! Too bad that it's currently in such bad condition. It IS driveable, and John takes it out for a cruise from time to time. Lots of rust (in all the usual places) and "whiskey dents", but VERY restorable.

John has done some research on it's history. Maybe I can talk him into adding more info on this topic.

He will be moving up near you soon, Roger - to Bartlesville. With your interest in '71 A-bodies, it would be worth your while to make the trip to see it!

Later,
Lloyd
