It would look good ... if you owned a castle to park it in front of , and a chauffeur to drive it.
If it doesn't come with the glass slippers it's over priced.

Looks clean (but white can hide flaws) and the 428, buckets, console and rally’s are all nice pluses. Too bad about that gawdawful steering wheel. A nice custom sport would really compliment the interior.

I don’t think it’s a brougham though, it says Bonneville rather than brougham on the door panels and I don’t believe you could get buckets on the brougham.

Even if it is the base 428 at least in 68 it was the 4bolt, large valve and chrome dressed 375 horse version. It also will have the 4 (rockers, console and rad support) 428 emblems, a nice touch!

The 69 base 428 was small valve, 2 bolt and no dress up, rated at 360 and visually identical to the 400. Also 68 was the last year for console and floor shift option.

I never liked the 68 styling but somehow the white on white here works nice.

As for value, assuming it is a clean car I’d think a base 400 bench version would be $20k, this one maybe 25 with the engine and buckets and maybe 30 on a good day for an HO.

That’s a nice looking LeMans. Body looks very clean (other than missing wheel skirts and one molding). Interior is very clean and original looking too. I’ve got a soft spot for those 68-72 4 door A body hardtops.
Only obvious error in the ad is that the car clearly has a 2bbl not a 4bbl engine as indicated by the air cleaner. If I’m not mistaken that makes it the 175 horse (200 if dual exhaust equipped) 400.

Price seems reasonable if a negotiable asking price.

Never heard a 100k mile Pontiac car called low mileage before.
It is a nice super well kept granny church & grocery car.

Put the skirts back on it and let the granny vibe flow

Time marches on! A 100k car from that era was only driven under 2,000 miles a year. I drive that much every few weeks.

I do agree that it’s still not a low mileage car. When I think about 60’s cars it goes like this: under 10k miles is ultra low miles, up to 30 is very low and 30-70 is low. Above that is just normal.

That being said I’m pretty sure some of these cars have been clocked once or twice so everything is relative.

That '72 is amazing and I'd totally own it. When was the last time you saw a 4 door car with factory gauges like that? Seeing the Pro6Ten compressor on it and everything under the hood being clean makes me believe someone has really taken care of that car for most of its life.

Really nice price on it too @38k

Such a shame that Exec Wagon didn't survive in a better environment.
Cruise and under hood reel out light , probably front disc brakes too.
