That thing is a survivor and it is loaded. It is actually a Luxury Lemans with the standard factory skirts. Power bucket seats, factory power sliding sunroof, tilt, pw pdl. I hate to use the word "rare" but it is rare.
I would say that car is a real score and deserves to be preserved. A lot of folks don't like the 73-77 models but I think that particular car is a real beauty. The 455 Pontiac was a torque motor that should never exceed 5000 rpm. Keep it from rusting or deteriorating because it will be very difficult to bring back once it does.

I don't judge a man by how far he's fallen, but by how far back he bounces - Patton
Definitely a great looking and equipped car. If it is Canadian I'd love to see the paperwork from GMVVS on this. You would see the odd blue 400 back in 73 but a 455 is something. This had to be a customer ordered car. Does it have dual or single exhaust? In any case a great score.
Congrats! I was considering asking my brother in Calgary to go out and put a bid on it for me, but I'm glad I didn't get around to it, since you were able to get it.
I'm a fan of those cars too as I had a regular 350 '73 Lemans back in high school. This one looks really really nice and I have to say I've never seen one in person with a factory sunroof.
That's a great score, especially in its survivor condition, and the 455 would be a bonus for me - kind of a luxury GTO in a sense.
BTW, for those in the know, shouldn't there be a 455 emblem in the grille, below the Pontiac script? I thought they all had engine designation below the script unless the Luxury Lemans didn't have it.
Very nice score Wayne, congratulations..... And lots of options to boot, Sweet ! Can't wait to see more pics..... Hat's off to Ray for parting with his badge....
