Rarer Than GTO, 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport, Manual Trans

Rarer Than GTO, 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport, Manual Trans

Rarer Than GTO, 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport, Manual Trans For Sale

I came across a third-generation Pontiac LeMans for sale on Craigslist in Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts. The asking price is $39,900. Initially, the LeMans was a trim upgrade based on the Tempest. However, in 1971, Pontiac discontinued the Tempest name and introduced its intermediate lineup as the LeMans and GTO as a separate line. As we all know, the GTO is one of the most popular muscle cars and it was spawned from the LeMans lineup.

The car listed for sale is a fine example of the 1971 LeMans Sport edition, which is a combination of GTO and LeMans. This was done to avoid insurance premium surcharges that were imposed on muscle cars at that time. Essentially, it was a GTO in LeMans clothing.

The Intermeccanica Italia Spyder was a dream come true for Frank Reisner and his wife Paula, who were passionate car enthusiasts. Established in 1959, the Intermeccanica cars combined Italian artistry with an American powertrain. After a series of name, ownership, and engineering changes within the company, they began production of the Italia Spyder in 1967. The first Italians were exported to the United States in 1968. These cars were unlike anything else on the market and quickly gained the attention of discerning American car lovers. However, with limited production and a hefty price tag of $8,500, only the well-off could afford them. To many aficionados, the Intermeccanica Italia Spyder was an automotive masterpiece.
