This 73 Pontiac LeMans has been owned by my pops for the last 15 years. He said it's to much car for him having a 400 V8 engine at 85 years old. He stop driving it 10 years ago. So it's been sitting in the Garage. To pass time he has put a New Gas Tank and cleaned out the Gas line along with cleaning and readjusting the Carburetor and changing the Brakes, put new Alternator ect. This car is clean and has been taken care of, And it will get up and go like a Muscle car should. I have been checking it out and drove it a couple of times so I could know what he is selling. It Really doesn't need much all minor things and worth the investment.
73 Le Mans the bad on this car is The Steering wheel is dry rotted and falling apart on the back side. the stitching on a 5 in. part of the front Passenger seat is loose, It needs a Hood cable to open hood. Hood can still be opened. Right signal light is not blinking. Horn is not working, There is minor rust spots on Back window and both front Fenders by the tires. and paint pealing of plastic part of bumper between Bumper and lights. There is a hole burnt from light bulb on the Fan protector. and last Ac has leak. those would be all repairs to have this car back to excellent condition.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
