Default Re: 72 Lemans ?

Man,maybe this is a 71?was told it was a 72.The louver things are on the front fender right behind the wheel well.There is no endura front end.I di have the front valance here at my house if there is a way of telling the year from this please tell me what to look for.It is NOT a T-37.that much I know because a friend of mine had one many yrs. ago.I did get the front left grill and it only has the Pontiac emblem on it.I would like to get as many parts off this car for people who could use them.I'm not that up on these cars to know just how much is out there repo and such.

Just get your VIN number, would be the easiest and most accurate.

'71 has a plastic header and '72 has a metal header. Also front valance panel is body color on '71 and chrome on'72. Also check the emissions sticker on the radiator shroud or radiator support panel as it will tell you the original engine and year.

The 6th number of the vin is the year.

Someone could have put a '71 front clip on a '72 as '70-'72 can be interchanged if you do the entire front clip.

Don't just throw away those fake louvers as they sell for about $17 each thru the restoration companies. Cid should be on rocker panel unless 6 cyl or 455.

Almost forgot, rear valance panel is metal in '71 and plastic in '72.

JLP,rocker panel says 350.the rear valance is metal.I know this because it is all bent up and trashed,so I guess it is a 71.

Also check the vin as the 6th # is the year.

If anyone needs a set of '72 air extractor vents for the front fender, I have a set in good shape, but without the little black plastic grill inserts.

I'll let 'em go fairly cheap.

PM me if you need 'em.
