Hello
Thanks for the welcome guys! The car is just a very slowly moving project, and I'm finally getting the motivation to work on it again.
Anyhow, the car is a 1970 LeMans sport AC / Console car that I've had since 2004. It was originally gold / saddle top and interior,. A buddy of mine found it He found it under a tree in someone's backyard- dragged it to his shop, powerwashed the inside and outside and literally drove it like that for a year, just trashed. I got my hands on it after he crashed a Harley and needed something easier to live with so I traded an old Mercedes 450SL for it. I decided to have most of the trim shaved off the body, repainted, and then built a .030 455 for it and a 12 bolt. Engine is a .030 455, cleaned up 5C heads 96CC?? TRW Forged flattops CAT forged rods Performer Manifold UD 288/296 Hyd cam / Harland sharp rockers / BBC 7/16 studs Ruggles Qjet + HEI Dizzy Doug's headers w/ cermacoat. TH350 with a 2400RPM TCI stall + shift kit 12 Bolt with an Auburn locker and 3:42's out rear. Lowered 2" all the way around Interior-basically has none, LOL. One day Still needs upgraded fuel as well. Working on body bushings and fuel. Thanks again!

Sounds like you started with more than I did....
Mine came with an engine, it just wasn't in the car (and was swapped for other parts for the car anyway - as I found a numbers matching properly dated coded 389 GTO motor). It was 2.5 years before I was ever able to drive mine (June 1992 - October 1994) - it wasn't done, but I put 800 miles on it before parking it for the winter. Photo 1 is the day I brought it home. Photo 2 is fall of 1995. Photo 3 is spring of 2017 after I put the 17" steelies, 462, disc brakes, WS6 sway bar, Global West tubular A arms, Koni coil overs.... It's been a 29 year love affair (with my wife's permission) - she actually found the seller and gave me his phone number. |

Welcome to the Forums.
Your car reminds me of a 72 LeMans I had with 455/th400/12 bolt posi 3.31. Fun to drive. It was Lucerne blue/ black interior Good luck with your Pontiac. Sent from my Moto Z3 Play using Tapatalk

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
