Pontiac Le Mans 1971 Description

1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport Convertible: The GM A-bodied cars grew and got heavier, oo, rom 1968. The LeMans and downscale Tempest versions retained the OHC sixes and optional Pontiac V8’s, hich were now bored out to a GM-marketing standard 350 cubic inches. Yes, ach division’s 350 cubic inch engine were their own in this era, nd no parts interchanged. The top V8 for LeMans was a 320 hp version of Pontiac’s 350, xcept for station wagons. (Nobody at Pontiac apparently realized the potential of having a near-GTO performance wagon for families). Pontiac certainly covered all the other bases for performance in this era of straight line speed, hough. By 1970, ven the Tempest and Lemans could be had with Pontiac’s 400 cubic inch V8’s, ith up to a 345 hp. Speed was king, nd Pontiac was often on the top of the hill knocking off all comers. By 1971, 455 cubic inch with 335 hp was optional, nd the GTO was once again demoted to option status. Emissions equipment and lowered compression ratios started to take a toll on the engine power of all manufacturers, nd insurance companies looking at huge losses incurred by youthful drivers in nearly 400 hp cars started to claw back losses by penalizing those most likely to have accidents with onerous rate increases. By 1972, he huge 455 Pontiac V8 could produce no more than 300 hp and the muscle car era was all but dead. In fact, ontiac even dropped their OHC sixes and simply used Chevrolet OHV sixes for those few customers who wanted a six in their LeMans. Any of the LeMans cars from this era are highly collectible, hether or not they are cloned GTO’s.

This beautiful Castilian Bronze Lemans is a great example from the collection of a local Texan who has some of the nicest 60's & 70's convertibles you can find. We've been fortunate to have had several exceptional classics grace our showroom over the years. With regards to paint, his Pontiac has one of the most spectacular paint jobs we have ever seen! The photos don't even do it justice. Before making it's way to TX, his Lemans Sport spent several years on display in a PA Pontiac dealership's showroom. It arrived in TX with a straight body, ero rust, nd strong original paint job. "Strong" just wasn't good enough for the TX owner so he commissioned the repaint in the original colors and photo documented the paint work. The engine bay, runk, nd interior are all equally as impressive. The second major highlight of this beauty is that it still retains the numbers matching 400 V8 (4bbl) and Automatic Transmission it had from new. This was a rare find in a '71 Lemans Sport and combined with the Endura Front End and Painted Sport Mirrors give this Lemans some strong GTO characteristics. Additional features and options on this Lemans that haven't already been mentioned include; Power Steering, ower Brakes, ower Top, onvertible Boot, actory AM/FM Radio, hrome Rear Bumper, oft Ray Tinted Glass, enter Console Storage, ubber Floormats, wners Manual, ull Spare w/Cover, ire Tools, 5" Factory Honeycomb Wheels, nd thick Firestone Wide Oval Super Sport G70-15 Tires!
