Well looks like my pontiac disease is spreading to the neighbors.After helping me a few times and a few ride alongs in the old 54 laurentian my neighbor pulled up in an old pontiac of his own.He bought a 77 pontiac lemans 2 door sport coupe.Looks in decent shape but definitly going to need some interior work.It has a white interior and will need seat covers,headliner,and some plastic panels in the rear.Any sources out there for this stuff.I know about the older ones and tracking down parts but this is new territory to me.Thanks in advance.
And your neighbour can be sure they will give it their best effort in trying to get everything he needs for it.
I have another order in with NOS right now and the pricing was bang on with the best US pricing i could find on the stuff. Actually, I think 2 of the items were a couple of bucks cheaper and I get to deal in Canada.

Try Perrysprojectcars in Gibons Alberta, he has a '75 and '77 Lemans Sport Coupe. I have lot's of stuff for '74-'77 Grand Am and Grand Lemans model's. Some stuff will work for Lemans and Lemans Sport Coupe but all my interior stuff is Grand Am. If he's looking for stuff other than interior plastic he can contact me. I'm in Wetaskiwin.
It depends. To my knowledge no ones doing repro seat covers or headliner kits for a 77. If he wants it to be NOS quality and correct, he can source the original fabric and vinyl easily but it'd then have to be sewn up. It has the louver side windows? (affects which rear interior trim)
Sorry, got cut short. Anyways, this is not a "restore it with a credit card" kind of car, he'll need to do some looking to find good quality used. If 76GLM or his relatively local source doesn't have what he needs, he might try posting a wanted ad at the A-Body Site Forum.
Let us know some more details and we can maybe help you out better. Is this the gold LeMans off Calgary Kijiji?
he pulled this one out of lethbridge,kind of a light greyish blue green color.It does not have the louvers but has the rear quarter vinyl roof.It is missing the chrome trim around one rear quarter window,vinyl roof has seen better days,interior definitely needs help.The body is very solid,dent and rust free but the clearcoat is peeling badly.It may have been resprayed 15 or so years ago and has been sitting for the last ten.I do like the swoopy body lines,definitly something you donèt see everyday.I will post some pics soon.
I remember seeing the ad on KIJIJI. It has aftermarket wheel's if I remember correctly. I do remember the ad saying it needed interior help. Looked like a really decent car.
Every part he needs, correct color, plus it's in Winnipeg. Practically next door, by eBay standards...
It is an auction for only the rear window trim. The seller has no other parts up for auction as of yet (see below).
PLEASE READ- This sale is ONLY for the REAR WINDOW EXTERIOR TRIM (the shiney trim that goes around the outside of the large rear window) removed from the 1975 PONTIAC LEMANS SPORT COUPE 2DR, that I just got in for parts. The rear window trim is in overall very nice shape, and being a Low Mileage Original Vinyl Top Car, is without any runaway sander/grinder scratches from a body shop. May also be correct for other GM intermediate size cars from 73-77 like Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass and 442, Pontiac Grand Lemans, Can Am, Grand Am, Chevrolet Chevelle and Malibu, however I am uncertain, so please research your application before bidding. All pieces included, will be shipped in sturdy cardboard box/tube or plastic pipe.......
I am PARTING the complete car 1975 PONTIAC LEMANS SPORT COUPE 350 V8 sbc, turbo 350 Auto, Headers, Dual Exhaust, 10 Bolt Diff, Rear Sway Bar, Power Steering, Power brakes, Air Cond, Power Windows, Nice White Split Bench Interior,(sorry, wheels and tires are NOT available) Any parts requested will be listed here on Ebay. Also am parting a 69 Acadian, 67 Acadian, 1960 Impala, 71 Chevelle, plus more as well. Please check my other auctions.

Thanks for the clarification. He has the parts available - that's what I meant. Although, I do find it a bit unusual that any part that someone's interested in buying then goes on eBay.

Yes, it is odd Bob.
You would think that the seller would save a lot of time and trouble just selling to a person/people who need the parts without involving eBay.
