Pontiac Le Mans Overview
The Pontiac Le Mans started life as a luxury and performance package for the mid-sized Tempest coupe and convertible, and left this world as an economy compact coupe. It first appeared in 1962, as a high-end package on the Tempest, with carpeting on the floor and door panels and bucket seats. A new V8 engine revved it to 190-hp for a sportier ride. The Le Mans is perhaps best known for introducing the Pontiac GTO to the world. This too was first sold as package on the upscale Le Mans, boasting a stiffer suspension, dual pipes, Hurst floor shifter, performance tires, and a 389 V8 hitting 260-hp. Though the Le Mans had already been a popular car in the Tempest lineup, the GTO proved the big success, not only ushering in the muscle car era, but boosting Pontiac's industry standing in sales. With a lasting influence on the pony car market, the GTO would disappear after 1974. In the meantime the Le Mans branched out its offerings to a sedan and Safari wagon, along with the coupe and convertible. Stepping out from under the shadows of the Tempest, the Le Mans became its own stand-alone brand in 1971, when the Tempest was discontinued. It came in a variety of trims that emphasized either luxury or performance, offering up hefty V6 and V8 engines. As the '70s progressed, the Le Mans got even bigger, until the oil embargo forced a detuning of engines. The big block V8s shrunk a bit, as did sales for the Le Mans. In 1982, the mid-size coupe, convertible, and sedan were dropped, its place taken over by the Bonneville. The Le Mans made a brief return for six years, from 1988-1993 as a compact coupe and sedan. Though not the performance car it once was, with only a 4-cylinder engine that either got 74 or 95-hp, it tried to package its GSE coupe with superficial street racing elements. This new Le Mans boasted great fuel economy, a roomy cabin and trunk, and an overall reliability that made it a favorite with budget-conscious students and first-time buyers.

I have owned this car for around 14 years and done a few mods, disc brakes and Crager mags, looks awesome.
well this is my car. it is a 1977 Pontiac Le Mans Safari wagon. The performance is great because I can pass cars easily and I beat a Camaro in this thing! The brakes are spectacular and never had a problem with them. The handling is good especially in a winter storm, whiteout, blizzard and ice storms, anything weather that God created as a natural disaster. The Build Quality is solid. it has needed a few repairs and it's in storage at the moment. it had a few squeaks coming from the driver door but I fixed that no problem-o. there are no rattles at all. The appearance is....well I cannot explain how great my car is. The exterior is ferocious but beautiful. no rust, no dents, no nothing wrong with my car at all. my car is blue with a white roof. I know you don't see a white roof in the picture and there is a reason for that. That reason is I don't have a camera cord to upload my pics so I found a picture that is close to my car. um........now I remember. My car is blue with a white roof, wood panels, whitewall tires, and a loud horn! The interior is in mint condition. no rips, no tears, no cracks, no warping, no nothing wrong with my car!( like I said before ) I put a 1984 pontiac Parisienne horn pad on my steering wheel and it looks nicer than it did before. The seats are button tuft, loose pillow velvet seats and it feels like driving a chesterfield around town. I dunno how much this car costs because my wife bought it for me as a gift and I got her a LeBaron Convertible. Gas Mileage is terrible but I don't care. The cost for Maintenance was OK because i never had a serious problem with it. My car is so much fun to drive because when people in lil' honda civics and integras challenge me, They dunno who they are messing with! If they want it, THEY GOT IT!!!! I would recommend this car to a friend because it's like a Can Am, But in a station wagon. It's just too awesome.
i built this car myself. the engine was rebuilt in brooklyn,ny. keith black pistons, ram air IVcam,hooker headers & holley 750 carb. the tranny was special built near chicago,ill.all new muncie m-22 with a steal midplate instead of aluminum like the stock ones had. a few hours of body work needed to get ready for paint.
This car is a work in progress.It belonged to my Dad for many years until he gave it to me.It has a 400 c.i. V8 on a turbo 400 trans.With just 71000 miles on it,all in all its in decent shape.It is also the Sports coupe model,making it a rare car.It has all the old car qualities that we all hate to love,but do.With the big 400 up front,it goes pretty good,the handling leaves alot to be desired,and the brakes just suck.I plan to keep this car as stock as I can tolerate.But up grades to the handling and brakes are a must.I don't want to total the car because I cheaped out.
The Le Mans is an awesome car. The build quality is good, but the performance is lacking. It costs quite a bit to own, but it is so much fun to drive. I love it, and recommend it to anyone who wants a classic car.
