Mixed feelings on this one. Looks to be in good original shape, though the landau roof looks kind of funny on the collonade's triangle quarter window IMHO. Also unusual to see dogdish caps on one of these. Engine room looks like a bag o' poo. Price is about 3 grand too high IMHO... and I really like these cars.
I dunno... maybe I'm being too critical. What say you?
Something Different. 1975 Pontiac Lemans 2 Door Coupe. 350, automatic, 4 barrel Elderbrock carb. 83,000 orginal miles. Landeau roof. Sport Mirrors. Orginal Bill Of Sale, plus owners mannuals, and brochures are included. Asking $8750.00. Wife says it has to go. Call Chris at 902-488-4282, or 902-462-1282
That is not a landau top and I'm pretty that the top is aftermarket. I like the dog dish hubcap's. This is the base model but it does have air and a V8. I don't see it being worth more than $4,000 if the body is clean.

Probably the best thing you could do for the car, then is rip off the vinyl top, though who knows what might be lurking under it.
I like the dog dishes too, you just don't see to many of these cars with them on.
A/C would make sense on a base car if it were from the south. I didn't pick up on the Pontiac 350 right away. By the way, couldn't you get either Chevy or Pontiac V8s in Canada in these cars by 1975?
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
Those are actually the last iteration of standard hub caps used by Pontiac. They are factory correct for 1972 through the last Parisiennes in the 80's.
All domestic production run LeMans cars from Oshawa used the 350 Chevrolet engine when a 350 was specified. 400 engines were Pontiac engines in LeMans from 1973 through 1976 even when built in Oshawa. Same for 455 until it was discontinued.
Oshawa cars destine for USA would be made with a Pontiac 350 and some special order LeMans not built here but offered here could have a Pontiac 350.
This car is a bare bones car but it does have AC so the fact that it has the US 350 combined with the AC which is rare for a Canadian car of this era does seem to indicate it is from the USA, not Oshawa. He's got paperwork so I'd be interested to see it. Remember not even Oshawa GT and Canada Cup cars came with Pontiac 350's.

Yes, I recall those hubcaps on low line large Pontiacs at least into the early eighties. I think they actually look quite good on this car, and would especially if the vinyl roof were removed.
I agree that it appears to be a US car. Would also like to see documentation.
