Hello,
I have a 1972 Lemans GT. It was purchased new by my family back then and was driven home by my older brother and me from the dealership. It was to be MOM's new car...however,
He drove it to college after borrowing it a zillion times from my Mom. He then was ready to sell it for an Audi Fox. I got wind of this at the dinner table one evening and asked my parents if I could obtain it instead. I small deal was cut and My brother happily turned Mom's old GT over to Me and went on to purchase his Audi back in 77. I am happy to say that I still have this car today. It has been cared for and modified to some degree over time. It has been a major source of enjoyment for myself and my own family as they have grown to the ages to appreciate it. Although the 350 2brl 3 speed on the floor had been removed for a more substantial drive-train. (462ci) This car has lost no pride or value to us. If anything... it has become our symbol of summer.
I just bought a rare optioned 1972 Pontiac luxury Lemans Sport coupe; Anaconda Gold with a factory 400 4 barrel dual snorkel, turbo 400 transmission and 12 bolt 3.31 ratio because the car was built in Canada, the 12 bolt option only came with the 455 engine in the USA. White buckets seats and console, black dash pad with wooden trim insert and 140 mph speedometer! I wonder how many of these they produced with same options as GTO? What a rare find for 2000$, of course it needs to be restored. I received the PHS from Oshawa Ontario and found out my car is indeed a rare one with only 33 built in Canada with these options
makes it a real GTO sleeper !!!
I would like to add to the 72' Lemans GT story here. My dad purchased a 72' Lemans GT from the local dealership. There were 2 available. One, White with the blue reflective side stripes and the other (the one he bought) was Lucerne Blue with the silver side stripes. It had beautiful white interior, bucket seats, endura front bumper, dual exhaust (side exit behind the rear tires), 400-4bbl, Hurst 4 speed (actual hurst shifter lever). Sway bars front and back. They sold it in 76' when I got my license (they would not let me buy it at the time as they said it had too much power). I ended up buying a 65' Lemans with a 326 auto.
I know these are a very "rare" car. The one stock photo I see most on the web is of a Gold w/black stripe one. I would give almost anything to have the one my dad had!
I grew up with my dad owning (from new) a 65' GTO, 67' Firebird H.O., 69' Lemans Custom S, and the 72' Lemans GT. I myself have owned my 65 Lemans, 72 Lemans Sport and a 69 GTO.
Ltlgto.
I'm another very happy owner of a 72 lemans convertible. This car has been my mothers and then mine since 1975 and I have original sticker. The engine is 455 and just blows away any one wanting to dance. The man who originally special ordered it purchased the GTO options on the lemans convertible and some other rare requests like power windows, but no power locks, and automatic, but on the column with bucket seats. It has dual exhaust, ram air and it is all original. Even the original radio, speakers, wheels everything I tried to get my mom to change when I was in high school that she insisted would be a huge mistake. Well, as always, she new best and was right again.
I would like some direction as to the number of these made, value etc. If you have a web site to direct me to I'd greatly appreciate it! This car has wonderful memories for me. My mom always blew people away as the light would change. Cutlass 442's Chargers Old Chevelle's, it's so strong! The guys I went to school with would measure the burn off's my Mom would leave on the road. Quite proud to be her daughter! And still driving this beauty! Hee hee! You can
send any info on how many were made, options, value etc. to dublinjen2000@hotmail.com

Hi, I just had a 1967 Pontiac Le mans restored. It was my parents car throughout my childhood and has lots of memories. The paint job is so beautiful...it's like baby blue, but darker... looks like cotton candy! It has a straight six engine Overhead cam which was rare. It's a beauty! If anyone would like pictures just ask! I may consider selling if the price is right. karenmmc3@gmail.com.
Oh Geez, where to begin!!! I have a 1972 Pontiac LeMans Sport, this car was bought in 1972 by my uncle and he was killed in a car crash. I'm looking at restoring his car for the family and I am having a VERY hard time located parts. Can anyone help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it. The car is going to need a full body-off resto, so any advice on hunting down parts is welcome! Here is my email address, b_pomeroy@hotmail.com. Thank you!
I am restoring a 1974 Lemans GT, 4 speed-350 V8, buckets, original cluster gauges etc. I have no clue how many of these were made and can't get much information from the net as it seems this is a pretty rare car.
Can anyone give me an idea how many were made of this year or how much the cars worth?
Email me at Andy.Dutil@yahoo.com.
Thanks!!!
We have just been given a 1972 Le-mans, very good condition, with 4 doors, red new paint, no rust, new mag tires, and approx, 60 THOU miles.
I know it was highly valued by the owners and taken care of, what do you think I should get for it, I can take it to Orillia car show this fall to sell sale, or can post it.
Also does the fact it runs really good and is in such good condition, will this have an effect on the value, where it can be worth more than 8k?
Thanks for any help, Canada, Ontario resident. Bonnie
The biggest effect on the value is that it is a four-door. They are just not as desirable as the two-doors. If it is in perfect condition you should be able to get a good price for it, but US$8K would probably be at the upper end of what you could realistically expect to get.
It seems a lot of people are looking for the production numbers for the 1972 LeMans. Can anyone help? I have one that is very rare, I think. It's a convertible with a 400 2BBL, Endura front end.
They only made two of those, and one is already junked.
Lucky you.
I own a 1972 Lemans GT also. Bought the car new when I realized I was going to get married and had to get rid of my 1967 GTO for a more "family oriented car...
I used the car until 1991 as a everyday car here in North Central Pa. in all the seasons.. It was getting pretty rusted out after 20 some years in this area, like all of those era cars did.
Me and my brother-in-law decided to restore the body so I could continue to use it, but did such a good job on the body that I decided to park it till I could finish it totally with new bumper, strips, etc.
The color of my Lemans GT is sundance orange with black reflective side stripes with the GT letters cut out on the front fender area. It also has the endura front end package with a 350 2 barrel engine and auto on the column with bench seat.
I am so happy I kept this car. Being the original owner and having it restored to its original factory look is great!!...
After running this car for over 20 years as a everyday user, it is now being used to cruise with and to take to car shows in my area.. I have never run across another Lemans GT in any car show yet, so I am sure that these GT models are becoming a very rare find.
Mine has all matching numbers and about 56,000 miles on it now. Would never part with it and am sure it will be passed down to one of my children when that time comes.. would also love to know what kind of value this car would be worth today? It is back to its original factory looking condition now. Would appreciate any information anyone could give on as to where a person could find out approx. how many of these classic cars are left and approx. value of them.. My email is dmcgill@alltel.net, would love to hear from anyone that can help in this matter or wants to talk about these cars.
A friend has a 72 LeMans GT with a 400 CID engine, turbo 400 and the reflective side stripes. The paint is a goldish green, if I remember correctly. He's looking for information about the correct Rally II wheels that came with these cars. The original wheels were sold before he picked up his car and he's trying to determine which wheel code to look for. We think it is a 14x7 wheel, code KS.
Can anyone confirm by looking at their original wheels? He would be very appreciative of any information you can provide.
Thank you, Kurt.
On 1972 new car showing 9/27/71 I bought a new Lemans GT. sticker 3604 and I paid 3300 for it and later got a refund as the feds took off the fed excise tax on cars of about another 200 bucks. I only had the car a short time but have pictures, brochure, owners manuals, records etc it anyone needs to know anything. I was really into these cars and remember a lot. email if anyone needs info I might know onefunkar@aol.com.
