This is my 1978 Pontiac LeMans Sedan. It is nearly all original with 60k miles and was purchased by me 9 years ago from the original owner in Rumford, ME. It has the 231 ci Buick V6 engine and TH200 automatic. It's condition is nearly mint, and serves as a daily driver to and from work on any day when there is no snow or road salt on the streets.

UPDATES:

6/2005: Completely repainted in original color with new DuPont base/clear finish.

8/2005: Replaced cam, lifters, and timing chain to eliminate engine tick.

9/2005: Replaced exhaust from cat back, replaced shocks. Replaced head liner.

8/2006: Replaced rear main oil seal, replaced oil pan gasket.

4/2007: Replaced rear main oil seal AGAIN. This time using a new style Fel-Pro rubber one- rope seals are garbage! Finally for the first time in the six years I've owned this car no more rear oil seal leakage! Replaced rear yoke seal and speedometer seal on tranny.

3/2009: Replaced fuel pump.  Replaced engine rocker arm shafts and all rocker arms.  Added dash pad to protect dash.  Replaced dead Delco AM/FM radio with identical functioning radio bought off E-Bay for $20.  Various small items repaired or replaced as need arises.  Still remains rock solid original powertrain car in perfect working order, still looks great.

Wow, finally i found a better looking version of my car, i have a 1978 Pontiac Lemans also except it has the original pontiac blue paintjob, i get the fun task of stripping all the paint off the valve covers tomorrow, previous owner looks like he tried painting them with crappy paint so half has surface rust and rest has green and blue paint. haha

Wow, man that car is the signature GM look from back then, don't change a thing (except the engine)I wanted to fix up my dad's 1980, but he sold it before I got my license.
