Out in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a 1972 Pontiac LeMans that was found on Craigslist. The seller is asking $5,400 or best offer for this golden-hued beauty. This is the last year for this body style; get it now before Felina drives off with this one.

1972 was the last year of the third generation Pontiac LeMans before 5-mph-bumper regulations were enacted and things got wide and flat. This A-body car looks like it’s either been sitting in the Texas sun or maybe someone has started to sand it down for body and paint work. It’s waiting for you to finish it.

This car “runs and drives”, according to the seller, but the only other mention of the engine is that it’s a “V8 muscle car”. That could mean a 350, 400, or 455 if it’s a factory-installed V8. I love the look of the black steelies, I think it really gives a car like this, or almost any car, a cool, tough look.

You guessed it, it’s an automatic; but that isn’t so bad, is it? The interior looks like it’s in pretty decent shape and it’s a good sign that the seller wasn’t using this car as a storage unit inside of the storage unit where it obviously is kept. Again, as you all know, there are so many companies that make replacement parts for these GM cars that finding new carpet, the rest of the steering wheel, or a different colored arm rest shouldn’t be any problem.

This one is looking at you; yeah, you. “Take me home, cowboy”, it’s saying. It’s got a ding or two but it doesn’t look rusty and with less than 10″ of annual rainfall in El Paso, it just might not have any. The owner even says that the “heater works”, and when the temperature in El Paso dips to a bone-chilling 33 degrees in January, that’ll come in handy (says the guy from Minnesota, sarcastically). This looks like a good project, these cars will bring $10,000 all day long in great condition. Hagerty lists a #4 “fair” car as being valued at $3,500 so maybe that would be a good bargaining chip on the $5,400 that they’re asking for this one. Are you a fan of this car or would you give it one little kiss and LeMans, goodbye?
