I've never seen a GT and Sport Coupe on the same car. I posted this car back in 2018 but didn't notice the GT decals. I wonder what the GT option got you over the Sports Coupe option

I answered my question thanks to Google:

 A great way to outfit a LeMans-Sport Sport Coupe was in this attractive G.T. option package. It was available only for this model. For some reason, the price was only $446 when a stow-away spare tire was ordered, too. otherwise, the special group cost $463. Features included two-tone body color treatment; body accent stripes; Rally RTS (radial-tuned-suspension); Rally II wheels; Grand Prix style instrument cluster panel; Rally gauges; body- colored sport mirrors, and a blacked out grille. There is no record of how many G.T. optioned examples were built, but surviving examples are certainly not abundant. The car was not very highly promoted and it's really too bad.

First off, that's a neat car, the Grand Prix instruments are a nice touch, remember that's what they did with the Can Am too. 

I hate doing this BUT that car has a Grand LeMans deck lid aluminum bezel. I suppose after all these years some rear end damage could have occurred, in fact you can see the different filler panel under the deck lid.

Yeah, caught that. Had a Can Am, twenty years ago, and still have the pics of it. No insert between the taillights. The Grand LeMans also had the Grand Prix cluster - our mother had a '76 from new. Could this be a cobble job? I don't recall ever seeing a two-tone combo of Buckskin (which was Mom's car's colour) with Roman Red. Both were pretty common as monochrome treatments, back then.

I seem to recall reading almost this exact conversation about another low mile Lemans posted on a CP thread that didn't have the expected taillights/bezel or something like that.

I know from when my dad worked at a Pontiac dealership from the mid 1970s through the mid 1980s that many cars showed up from the factory with equipment and trim that wasn't supposed to be on them, like Acadians with Chevette wheel centers, or Parisiennes with a Bonneville badge on the trunk lid... stuff like that.  Whether it was because somebody made a mistake, somebody didn't care, or just that the exact parts for that vehicle weren't in the bin that day and they didn't want to slow down the line waiting for the problem to be corrected, I don't know.  FWIW, I've also read and heard that drinking and/or drug use during breaks wasn't unheard of in the day.  The point being that I never say never when it comes to equipment that was supposed to be installed at the factory.

It's possible that somebody cobbled it up... the non-matching seats look off to me as well, but who knows?  I don't.

It would be neat to see the GM docs on this one. The GT got you two toned paint. Couldn't have been many made.

Yeah, I was delivering ice cream in the early '70s through rural SW Ontario, and one of the accounts was a Buick-GMC dealer that was also a snack bar.  They had a 'squarebody" 1500 that showed up with GMC trim on the driver side, and Chebby on the passenger side.

The more I look at the pix, the more I think someone messed with it. The Rallye wheels didn't come with body colour pockets, either.

I stand corrected, Todd. I thought they were all argent. Did your dad's car have the aluminum/reflector insert across the trunk?

Yeah, if it was ordered with white seats, the door cards would be white, too, like this one:

1977 Pontiac Lemans Can Am | T93 | Chicago 2013 (mecum.com)

The console and dash would/could have been red, I guess that depended on what the exterior paint was.

 No, it did not have the insert. It also just had the standard gauge package. Engine was 4bbl 350 (Chevy). It was an extremely reliable car.

Deja vu, Todd....

Here's a 77 LeMans GT at the car show held in High River Alberta last weekend. There were just over 900 cars.

Note that this one has incorrect wheel details - trim rings and center caps are not correct for 1977 and of course the accent color should be brown not argent.
