I recently ran into a 1970 Pontiac Le Mans 4dr.,hard top.It has a 350 2bbl with 96K miles, and the guy wants $700 for it, It has all the original chrome except the back "LeMans" on the panel.It also has some cracks in the dashboard but what 30+ car doesn't. Is this a really good deal or am i just getting sucker'd? Just thought i ould just get some "expert" advice.

if you can get ANY car made in 1970 that isn't a total peice of crap for $700, you've found yourself a deal!
if you want that kind of car get it NOW! they are only going to keep going up in price.

Not worth as much as the 2 door in terms of a muscle car, But it is worth more now that when it was new if it has all the original equipment and has not been customized beyond restoration . That`s a good deal, for an original 37 year old car. Have a gander here to see some others.http://www.cardomain.com/MakeModel/Pontiac/Lemans/all/all/all/1970

If you weren't specifically looking for one when you "ran into" it, then it's not a good deal. That's true of every older car you're ever going to see. You should know whether you want one or not without asking us. Just asking tells us that you had no plans to buy a 70 Lemans. Stop.
This is a car that has no collector value at all, and it never will. Even if it was a huge collector's item, you shouldn't change your life goals when you see a collector car for sale when you go out behind the barn to pee. Never do that. But again, this is not a collector's item, no way, no how. It's just an old car.

need a little more info. Does it run and drive? is it rusted real bad? does it drive good? what needs replacement? If it is in good shape and needs very little i would say go for it. a 400 or 455 will drop right in there and it will cost way less then a GTO. but you can still have a ton of fun with it. Makes a great sleeper. and yes that is the orginal size engine. pontiac replace the 326 in 68 with the 350

they made plenty of the le mans in 4 doors and they weren't bad cars,the mileage is low on that one,for 700 bucks if it runs drives and looks good that isn't a bad deal at all,you can make the 4 door cars look really good,and you have to look at it like this ,there's not many of those cars around anywhere 2 or 4 door,so that would be a good one to fix and drive ,a lot of people are finding these old 4 door cars and re-doing them,you just don't see then any more,good luck on it,hope it works out.

Is it running? If the body isn't rusted out and it runs, what more could you ask. I had a 64,65,67 LeMans and they all had 326 ci. engines. I don't know if it is the orignal engine or not. I would say go for it. But then again, I haven't seen the car. You could have a mechanic check it out for you before you buy it.
good luck.

I did not think they made the Le Mans in 4 door, I could be wrong. I just do not like big ol' 4 door cars.
