1972 Pontiac Luxury Lemans Rare L75 Y Code 455 Turbo 400 12 Bolt Rear 1 Of 71!!! on 2040-cars

          Up for auction is my very rare Luxury Lemans with a factory L75 455 engine!!!

I bought this car last year off the 2nd owner who had just puchased it from the original owner who had it for over 40 years. Originally Delivered to Hansord Pontiac in Minneapolis Minn,It was sold to Benjamin Peterson on May 25th from St Paul minn and He moved Tempe Arizona in 1972 taking his rare lemans with him. I dont know and cant say what he was thinking  when he purchased his car but records i have show Only 71 Lemans left the factory in 1972 with this powerplant. Im not sure if thats all lemans or Luxury Lemans figures. This car could be even rarer than that. Imagine coming up on this car back in the day with it Hubcaps and fender skirts and having your doors blown off and feelings hurt. this car runs very strong. You cant fake one either because in 72 gm started putting the engine size in the VIN number. This car has the Y in the vin decoding it as a real L75 455 car. This was the best engine you could get in the Luxury lemans series. And the L75 was only offered witha turbo 400 automatic trans backed by a HD 12 Bolt Safe-T-track with 331 gears. This car is not your normal Luxury Lemans with comfort features. This is a Factory NON air condition Pure muscle car with Factory Bucket seats Rally Gauge dash and NO VINYL top!!!

When I bought this car it was pretty much an untouched survivor car that spent its life out west so there was no rust on the body anywhere. Original paint and interior. Some dings and a small crease on the drivers door. it looked fantastic form 10 feet and in pictures it was perfect but asa time went on i decided to fix the imperfections in the body aand strip the car and repaint it. all the glass was removed and the car was taken apart to ensure the car would be perfect. It was done in Diamont base/clear and I made sure the color was dead on of its Beautiful code 26 Lucerne Blue!!!

The body is arrow straight and the paint job came out gorgeous. The fit of the body panels and bumpers are perfect. All the glass and stainless are beautiful also.

Original numbers matching engine has never been out or apart from what i can see. VIN number on block..It has 130,000 miles on it but runs like a bear and will smoke the tires from block to block. This is more of a GTO than most were in 1972. Original carb,dist,manifolds are all there. XU stamp on the rear denotes 331 positraction.

Interior is all original except for carpet and Headliner I believe. Looks like a 30,000 mile car to me but title says 129,000 and counting. Ashtray has never been used.

Trunk has all original spatter paint in it with no rust whatsoever. Undercarriage is very dry with no leaks or rust. I bet a good power washing would clean it like new.

Exhaust is good but im sure very old as it has glass packs on it from the 70's. the exhaust tips have to go at some point. it needs a pair of splitters.

I have a clear title to it along with lots of paperwork including it original books,warranty papers and original protectoplate from 1972. Orig VIN sticker in place

I bought this car to be a sister car to my 72 Lemans sport convertible but since im selling that one too theres no reason to keep this car either. Check out my other auction for the convert and maybe I will give you a deal on both. These car should stay together. They are both late build cars,This one is 1 0f 71 and the convert is 1 of 74 cars built. They are the 2 best colors offered that year,1 is 455 auto,the other is 400 4 spd. They compliment each other for sure. Please call me @ 267-246-6903 if you have questions or would like to see it in person. These pics will show you how nice the body is but in person the paint will punch you in the face. Its pretty nice!!!

Also I was contacted by Chris phillips of High performance pontiac to possibly do a feature story on it and he told me to pass along his info to the next owner so they could possibly get together and do a story on this car.  Thanks for reading........
