I guess the one I bought new in 1974 didn't make the list. Black, white stripe, white interior, 350 4 bbl, 3 speed manual with a bench seat.

That's hard to imagine with today's prices. My dad made a deal for his '73 Sport Coupe for $3,700, I remember that number because I was there. I can't say what it was on the road. It was a 350 4bbl dual exhaust car THM 350.

Was the 3 speed manual floor shift or column?

I recall seeing a mid/late 70's Buick A body on ebay I think it was, with a 3 speed manual column shift. I thought that ended about 73 or 74 but obviously not.

I sold the Lemans GT FOR $4500 6 months later and it went to the Barrie area, probably soup cans by now.

The GT package was standard with a HD three speed floor mounted shifter.

It was full synchro 3 speed on the floor and I reversed the shifter arms to change the throw from 1st to second, also added a/c coil spring spacers front and back, improved the ride but it was a slug on gas 17 miles to the gallon

Very nice. I don't know how the seller can state that GM states there are only 2 remaining, the other a blue one. GM or anyone else really has no way of knowing how many remain.
