Standard wheels for a LeMans GT are Rally II's without trim rings.

You will need GT emblems, which you can purchase from the big US Pontiac houses. You will need hood pins. You will need a rear valance with dual exhaust cutouts. You will need split chrome exhaust tips. You will need dual exhaust. You will need a GT stripe. You will need to remove the words Pontiac from the grille but keep the grille silver argent for a 72. There might be more things but I am going from memory.

GT's required a V8 engine and most were 350 2bbls so you are ok there. If you want you could install a heavy duty three speed with floor shifter, the standard transmission for a GT.

When I get a few more minutes I will confirm my list and advise. I am sure I can illustrate with photos as well.

would these do?   only 35.00 for 4

Wow thanks, any info would be very helpful. How hard do you think it would be to swap and locate all of the items required for the 3 speed HD set up, I have always had a thing for the 3 speed manual floor shift trans, almost never see one in a ride anymore, plus a 3 speed is probably alot cheaper than lets say a muncie M21 or some thing like that. Did Pontiac produce lemans GT's with a chevrolet drivetrain? thanks.

Thanks for all the info everyone, I really want to make my luxury lemans a GT but want to do it right. Would there be any swap issues with my automatic to 3 speed, what made the Lemans GT 3 speed HD actually heavy duty? thanks.

There were two 3-speed manual transmissiona available. The base manual transmission for non-high-performance models was the Saginaw 3-speed, M15. If no transmission option was selected, this was the tranmission installed. It was column shifted unless a console or RPO M11 floor shift was selected. An exception to this was GTO and GT 37 which required the HD 3-speed to get a floor shift.

Originally the heavy-duty 3-speed manual transmission, made by Borg-Warner, was available as RPO M13 . For GTO, M13 was standard if another transmission was not ordered.  In 1969, the heavy-duty 3-speed was supplied by Muncie and changed to RPO MC1.

Thanks for all the info everyone has provided, as for painting the lower panel and those different grill inserts. If I do go this route,

I really want to use period correct bias ply tires, what kind of performance or ride do they have compared to lets say a BFG Radial T/A, not date coded originals, the repop ones from coker or some vendor like that, I am using the original 14x6 steel wheels, thanks.

         Ask Todd!   lol    the old bias plys, are like trading your color flatscreen TV for a BW TV...   if you are not going to drive it, the bias are great  If you are not sure, try going for a ride in a simular car with radials
