@BuffsGarage and @IrishOutlawGarage help me put my High School car, a 1972 Pontiac Lemans, back on the road by swapping in a new TH400 automatic transmission plucked from the Holey Goat. We also install a new carb, and then we see what the 455-inch Pontiac V8 is made of!

What a freakin unit! A fella can never go wrong with any 68-72 GM A-Body. This car was the end of the greatest era of automotive styling.

My first car (55 Chevy) was stolen in 1969 just to take wheels and tires. It then was transformed into stock car and life on high note.

@Robrt32 Год назад

My first ride was a 67 C10, my first actual car was a 2 door 73 cutlass supreme with the 350 rocket. I would give both nerts for either one back.

You got a steal on that Edelbrock. That engine sounds like it really loves it. I really want to see more content with this car. Clean up the rest of the frame, fix the suspension, and maybe take it out on the drag strip to see how she goes.

@Mustangfan9401 Год назад

Just like the Grand Prix video took me down memory lane, this one does as well. My brother had a 72 Lemans when i was a kid. It was painted "Goddess Gold" and had gold wheels to match. 350/TH 350. It was his pride and joy. Got ass packed by an inattentive driver doing 55mph in an Astro van. Didn't even tap the brakes i remembered hearing. Car sat with the trunk folded into the rear passenger area for years with my brother claiming one day he would revive it. Life got in the way though, he moved on, and the car eventually got parted out and scrapped. Sad end. Your Lemans looks and sounds badass. Enjoy many more years and miles with it!

@justincrocker6098 Год назад

The AC/Heater control does have a vacuum switch connecting to it that opens/closes the vents. Any of those lines could be cracked, or the connection points may be leaking, or the selector switch is leaking. A quick fix assuming you don't care about the vents is to plug off the vacuum line going from the engine to AC/Heat controller.

My coworker back in the 90s had a 72, it was a bit of a beeater. I had to get a ride to work with him one day, he said "just sit on the hood and enjoy the show, I'll be out in a bit"... What? Anyway, I happened to glance across the back yard, his neighbour comes to the window and flips up the blind- and she is buck nekkid. DAAAAAAMN. Waves, yes she waves, and goes about brushing her hair. I carpooled with him for the rest of the summer.

As a fella who admittedly might just love his own car a little (or lot more) than he should, I'm begging you to keep that old girl healthy and strong! Same with that old 70s Gran Marquis! I myself own a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis with a 302 ci/5.0 liter and drive her anytime the opportunity presents itself. I love Francine dearly and she's the one car i would never willingly part with. I love watching this channel as well as vgg and jyd both. But i would love to see you one day out on the road, you in one of your classics and me in my baby. I think we could easily make good friends with the kind of sense of humor we seemingly share. May you all find happiness and peace in life, even when you walk through both the fires and waters of life!

@bradleysmith2021 Год назад

I had a 72 LeMans Endura, with the GTO front bumper (which was mangled). Loved that car. Same color.

@One_Shot_Garage 3 месяца назад

Awesome video and what a cool car. It really makes me miss my first car, a 72 Buick Skylark. I did everything to that car. Except body work. Frame was solid but it was 3 different colors, raw bondo just slapped over holes in the body and I'm sure someone before me also did a bunch of hackery to keep it in one piece. Eventually I developed a large crack in the windshield and knew if I pulled it out, there would be nothing left to glue a new one to. Parted the car out and scrapped the shell once I picked up a 67 GS400 in slightly better shape. I sure wish I kept it though after seeing some of the cars you have brought back and kept on the road. Not everything has to be perfect to be enjoyed.

@Hiei2k7 Год назад

My dad had a Buick Electra Limited with a 455 in it, and one time he was taking my brother back home from the Dr's office, had the cruise set at 105. When he hit the end of Lanark on the highway, he pressed Resume on the cruise. It remembered the cruise even after power cycles. 35 to 105 in 5 seconds. Sounded a lot like this. Hopefully the vacuum line for the heater core/control set isn't too far buried to reach. Since you seem to venture into Iowa more often than not these days, see if you can find some QA1s that fit the LeMans. P.S. I think we found the reason your trans pan was full of clutch material. It's back there where the smoke was left through that stoplight.
