Pontiac LeMans Buyer's Guide

The Pontiac LeMans is inextricably linked to its famous sibling, the GTO — but the LeMans stands on its own merits as one of the most versatile and undervalued collectibles in the A-body universe. From the elegant 1964 hardtop to the muscular 1971 Sport Coupe and the trim 1973–1977 Colonnade, the LeMans offers a range of collector entry points at prices well below GTO territory.

What to Check Before Buying

✓

Check trunk floor seams and tail panel corners for rust (probe with screwdriver) —

✓

Inspect front floor pans under carpet and full rocker panel length —

✓

Verify cowl tag and engine pad stampings match claimed specs —

✓

Confirm rear axle ratio and Posi vs open differential —

✓

Inspect 8.2-inch rear axle housing ends for cracks (pre-1971 cars) —

✓

Test power steering pump and inspect hoses for leaks (1968+ cars) —

✓

Verify convertible top mechanism and weatherstripping condition —

✓

Check for GTO-clone badge swapping — confirm all trim tags —

Common Issues

A-body rust in trunk floors, tail panels, and rocker panels is universal — expect some remediation on any survivor. GTO-clone badge-swapping is less common than on GTOs themselves but worth verifying. The 8.2-inch rear axle can crack at the housing ends under high-torque applications. Power steering pumps and hoses wear on higher-mileage cars.

What to Look For

The ideal LeMans buy is a southern or western car with matching-numbers drivetrain, original paint, and a well-documented service history. A black-plate California car with numbers-matching 400 and factory air conditioning represents the ceiling of the market. For budget buyers, a solid-bodied 1973 Sport Coupe in a desirable color with a rebuilt 350 is a far smarter investment than a rough GTO.

Price Guide

LeMans values are 40–60% below GTO for equivalent condition and specs. 1964–1967 coupes: $18,000–$28,000 (V8). 1969–1971 Sport Coupes (400/455ci): $20,000–$35,000. Convertibles add 20–35%. 1973 Sport Coupes: $10,000–$18,000 — emerging appreciation trend. Base six-cylinder cars: $6,000–$12,000.

Did You Know?

The 1964 GTO was literally a LeMans option package — the most consequential option package in automotive history. Pontiac sold 32,450 GTOs in 1964 despite corporate resistance. The name 'LeMans' referenced the famous 24-hour French endurance race, a nod to Pontiac's performance ambitions. The 1973 LeMans Sport Coupe's fastback roofline was designed by Bill Porter and remains one of GM's most elegant Colonnade-era shapes.
