Super-Rare 1975 Pontiac LeMans GT Flexes NACA Hood Scoops, Only 200 Made

The GTO, the model that sold like hotcakes in the late '60s, was mostly non-existent. Few people know this, but Pontiac still produced the GTO in 1973, though its sales were disappointing, to say the least. Only about 5,000 units rolled off the assembly lines.

The LeMans was Pontiac's model designated to bring home the bacon despite the continuously increasing gas prices and the new emission regulations that forced carmakers to invest more in engine development.

The GT package was supposed to remind customers of the good old times, bringing performance upgrades specifically aimed at people interested in the power under the hood.

A 1975 LeMans GT that landed online not long ago promises a very intriguing package. The car flexes several rare goodies, including the NACA hood scoops (for content, they're not called NASA, as even Pontiac's documentation claimed; they are inspired by the similar design used on airplanes, but the naming is based on the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics abbreviation).

The car exhibits a fantastic shape, though it's not a perfect 10. It does come with occasional patina, but it's still difficult to find something to complain about. The LeMans GT has spent its entire life in a climate-controlled garage, and the folks at Napoli Classics, the garage trying to find a new owner for this Pontiac, claim they spent $7,000 only to get the car ready for sale.

The vehicle was purchased from the original owner and retains most of its original parts, including the cabin. It now sports new rear brakes and a new air conditioning compressor.

But what sets it apart from the rest of the crowd is how rare it is. As if the NACA hood scoops weren't enough, it looks like this LeMans GT is one of only 200 examples ever produced by Pontiac. I couldn't find confirmation on this front, so you should take this tidbit with a pinch of salt. However, everybody knows not many LeMans GTs rolled off the assembly lines for the 1975 model year, and fewer are alive today. It's also unclear how many still have the original hood scoops.

The car sells with the original books and the build sheet. The undercarriage looks good, and the floors are "in amazing condition." It's unclear if the car has ever received any floorwork, but considering it's mostly original, the chances are that the LeMans still boasts the metal it came with on day one.

As anyone would expect, you can't have this LeMans for pocket money. The garage will let the car go for $33,000, but they also offer financing options.
