My brother (Dan) and I bought the '70 LeMans from John (gto4door) a couple of weeks ago and been having fun tearing her apart, fixing things here and there and just generally in awe of owning a real 4-speed LeMans 4-door sedan (post). It is an amazingly cool car, having never seen one before in all my years of being in the Pontiac hobby (40 years at least). It has remained all original since day one and nothing has been altered or cobbled over the years, with the exception of body work and paint color. We both thank John for finding and rescuing this unusual Pontiac and especially for selling it to us. It has the original WU code 350 2-bbl engine, M-20 trans and hurst shifter, 3.23 Saf-T-Trak rear end, factory gauges & tach (all work great), PDB, manual steering with the wood sport wheel, and working rear window defogger (fan). It also was ordered with an AM/FM radio (front speaker only) and the Decor package (full size hubcaps and wheel opening moldings???) The original radio is gone and the dash was cut open for a modern CD unit. It has it's original XE stamped 14x6 steel wheels under the deluxe wheel covers. It's too bad the original person who ordered this car didn't check off the 400 4-bbl WT code 345 hp GTO motor and dual exhaust (probably would've been mandatory with the WT engine).

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is we are in need of a '70/'71 4-door post sedan body with doors and deck lid that are rust and dent/damage free. After closer inspection, we thought it would be easier and more cost effective to get a better body. A roller is fine as is a complete running car. We are open to anything. The car was Atoll Blue (now a color close to Bermuda Blue) with a blue vinyl interior, so any cars like that out there meeting our requirements, please pm me. For the meantime, we are going keep the original body for the next few years and when we get really serious, swap sheet metal then. It really doesn't look bad until you get within 20', primarily the drivers rear quarter panel. It's our intention to keep the car the way it was ordered, enjoy it now as is, and restore it later.

We are also looking for the plastic interior pieces that go between the doors and in the back seat areas behind the doors and kick panels as well. We will be replacing the headliner, carpet and rear parcel shelf with new reproductions soon. We also are looking for a Tempest/LeMans post coupe dash that is unique in that it doesn't have the side vents like the GTO/LeMans Sports have.

I did post this in the Wanted section, but wanted to get more exposure posting here as well. We hope to get the Lemans ready to drive in a month or so. I try to post a couple of pictures of the car with the full wheel covers and us trying some dog dishes too. Sorry about the rant, just excited to share with you all.
