About Us

This is one of the very rare Endura optioned 1972 LeMans station wagons that were produced at the factory. This is not a wagon that has just had a GTO front clip added, it came this way and I have the build sheet that shows this.* My understanding is that there were probably less than a few hundred of these Endura wagons made.

This car is in nice condition but does need some minor rust repair around the rear wheels wells, the bottom of the tail gate and the leading edge of the hood.* There is also a bit of rust in the spare tire well that is in the passenger side quarter panel.* There are also some dents along the drivers side that will need fixed.* Please see the link at the bottom of this ad which will take you to over 100 detailed pictures of this car.* Other than the above mentioned rust areas, I am not aware of any other rust.* The floors are very nice and I see no rust in them (again, please see pics.).

From what I can tell, most of the paint on the car is original.* It appears that the left front fender, left front door and the headlamp assemblies were repainted at some time.* I have checked the metal on these parts with a magnet and can’t find any traces of filler (though I can’t guarantee there isn’t any).

This wagon was originally optioned with a 350 CID 2BBL engine but that has been swapped in favor of a YH -1970 455CID 4BBL.* The car starts, runs fine, idles fine and seems to drive just fine, but admittedly, I have never licensed the car during the time I have owned it and thus have never put any real mileage on it (thus I would not recommend driving this car home - unless it‘s a short distance). The car starts right up with no issues or noises and runs nice and quiet. The previous owner told me there is probably close to 150K miles on the engine in the car.* The transmission is automatic and I have no idea if it has ever been changed, rebuilt, etc.** I suspect the front suspension will need to be rebuilt as it makes a little noise in turns.

At some point someone switched the front seat out for a 60/40 spilt bench seat.* Though not installed, I do have an original wagon bench seat (that is even gold),* however it came from a 1970 LeMans wagon so the upholstery pattern is not quite the same.* This seat will be included with the sale of the car.

The car was originally optioned with A/C but it is not working (there is no compressor).* It does have the dual action tail gate, meaning it both folds down and swings to the side.* The handle that opens the gate to make it swing sideways is currently not on the car is missing. The cable is present and can be opend by pulling this cable.

Please note that the passenger side rear door lock seems to be stuck and I have not been able to unlock the door. Because of this, that door currently does not open.

The car is optioned with power disc brakes as well as a tilt steering column.* Please note the “tilt” part of the column is a bit sloppy but not real bad (not bad enough you couldn’t drive it this way).* Originally the car had Rally II wheels.* They were missing when I purchased the car.* It currently has a full set of 15” Trans Am 8” WS6 snowflake wheels (which actually don’t look too bad on the car).

Original options listed on the build sheet (though all may no longer be present unless stated) were:
3 point seat belts
Tinted windshield
Power tail gate window
Front and rear mats

Luggage carrier

As you can see in the pictures, I have the original build sheet that was found in the car as well as the original protecto-plate.* The car was purchased new in Idaho Falls, Idaho where it was till the early 1990’s. Then is went to St. George, Utah till I purchased it about 2.5 years ago.* I also have a bunch of receipts for the car dating back to the late 1980’s.* The car was originally sold through Hart Pontiac - Cadillac located at 1363 North Holmes Ave, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401.

If you have any questions about the car, please ask before bidding.* If you need time to come and get the car, I will store the car inside for one month for free and I can continue to store the car inside for up to a year for $50 a month storage. If you elect to have me store the car beyond the first month, storage must be paid in advance for each month.

If you are going to need to have the car shipped, I have no problem with suggesting a transport company and helping them get the car loaded and on it’s way to you.* I am in an easily accessible location for the shipper to access the car.* I also have a friend that delivers cars on his personal flatbed trailer and depending on where you live, he might be willing to haul the car for you (I can get a quote for you if needed).

If you would like to come look at the car or have a 3rd party come look at the car before bidding, feel free to contact me to make the arrangements. Please look the pictures over carefully and make your own judgment as to the condition of the car.

I do have a clear Utah title for the car.
