1972 Pontiac LeMans GT review from North America

Since buying the car new in 1972 I have done all of the usual maintence, brakes, exhaust system, tires, alternator, etc., but had only two major repair jobs. That was a complete transmission rebiuld in about 1984, and a suspension overhaul in about 1992 resulting in the restoration to original ride height.

This car was purchased by my father and given to me as a high cchool graduation gift. Sticker price was $4,420.00. After getting married we drove this car as our family car until 1986 when I bought a second car. My son and one of my daughters drove it as a school car until 2-10-99 when I finally traded it for a 92 T-Bird for her to drive. It had over 150000 hard miles and never had a wrench on the engine and still didn't need any work. The body was badly rusted or I probably would have kept it longer. Excellent car for the money. I'm still mourning its passing.
