Thank you again to the Restored family. You were so caring an made the transition for Carrel so much easier. She is so excited to see her mothers car out of that barn and on its way to being back on the road. We really had a great time working with you!

Love those LeMans. My dad worked for Pontiac back in the 60’s and 70’s. Drove a LeMans like that to my high school prom. Thanks for saving it.

Y'ALL HAVE GOT THE BEST SHOW ANYWHERE. THANK YOU.

I can’t wait to watch you fix this one up. Looking forward to the first wash!

So excited to see this! Thank you so much for working with us to save this car!

Love the Lemans, can't wait for future videos! Lance you made this old man tear up a little when you hugged the lady, you have a good heart! Your parents are to be commended!

Green is the color of the resurrection and immortality.... I think you have something very special in your hands now!

I love it when everybody is happy! The only thing is I want to see it running.

Its nice to see this old girl come to life. So excited guys. God bless ya's.

A cliff hanger. Wait till next week. I nearly cried when that Lady had to see her Mom's car. Restored, you feel like family now. I really look forward to the videos each week.

Had a 68 Lemans, nice comfy cruiser , liking this one

Man oh man!! Thats one of my dream cars. I've tried to buy 30 of them over the years. None in that good of shape. Still no luck great find

I can't remember ever seeing a LeMans with opera windows and a vinyl roof like that one. Cool looking!!

Of course the Restored team always impresses with your perseverance, skill, and care; but, a big component of what makes your team/family so good at what you do is the respect and consideration that you show to each other and the owners of the vehicles from whom you're purchasing the vehicles. It's evident you have kindness in your hearts.

You guys are always so respectful of the owners and their stories. And to accept a price before you even know what will be needed, just further shows the hearts you have for what you do. Kudos gentlemen!

I'm glad this lady got a piece of her mother back. Here's to hoping she keeps this classic car on the road.

Y'all are awesome for doing what you do. Those early 70's cars were the best of all time.

Oh man! I think this is my most favorite episode yet! I have owned and fixed up 2 of these and my Dad had the T-37! SO excited to see y’all bring this girl back to life!

This is a good car... I own a 1972 Luxury Lemans coupe with the 350 since 1995 and love to ride it every summer. Worth saving!

What a blessing for those folks. Better to give than receive.

I have recently found your channel and started binge watching. I know next to nothing about cars and mechanics but I love seeing how you go about restoring basically a hunk of rust. More than that though, I love that I have watched episode after episode and not heard one single swear word - ever! Thank you so much for providing some of the most wholesome viewing out there.

Thank you for the awesome video! My parents bought a new LaMans in 1969 and had it for years, until someone rear ended it. I’m really looking forward to you rebuild.

Love that Matt’s off-road recovery rope!!

WOW.. makes my memories come back. I got a light blue with white landau interior and roof '68 Pontiac Luxury LeMans off the Pontiac showroom floor somewhere October 1st to 12th, 68 in Memphis,TN on Summer Ave. Good Lord, I'd just turned 19, heading to Fort Rucker for advanced helicopter training. I enjoyed the car 6 months in school, Dad had it while I was in VietNam. I had it 2.5 years more when new wife took it in the divorce- and she left me with her Rambler station wagon. I'm still watching this video, what a car that was. Thanks, hope this video ends well, I can't fast forward and still write. Yep, makes me sad now.

Great recovery of great car. Can't wait to see the next one on this car! Thank you and God Bless you all!

Nice looking car with great potential, I hope you will be able to show the finished project to the family in due course. That pickup looked worth saving too.

This is a lost gem. What a great old Pontiac.

I’ve never seen a That half vinyl roof and port hole windows on a factory GM Pontiac before. Cool find

Спасибо вам большое. За то что даёте вторую жизнь этим прекрасным автомобилям❤️

I love a good barn find! I also feel "older" as I remember when those 70's cars were all over the road. In HS in the 80's, it was full of 60's and 70's GTO's and other muscle cars. They were hand me downs to the kids as they had no value then.

Thank you , enjoyed watching this video, brought back some memories, when I was a teenager My mum had a Pontiac just like this one , even the same colour , only difference was it had a straight Six cylinder engine a 250 CI or 4.1 liter I still remember what a pleasure it was to drive it as a teenager And it was a real eye catcher specially where we lived in England , where there were not many American cars.

Wow!! A 72 LeMans! My first brand new car back in 1972. Loved seeing this. Thank you.

Got to love a Pontiac.... I love the stories some of these cars have. This one is going to be awesome. I can't wait to see what you all do with it.

Love it guys, I’m always looking for auto restoration channels on KZfaq, and I came across yours fairly recently, and love all I have seen so far, and looking forward to many more videos, thank you 👍🙂

Hi from uk guys👋👍 got straight in from work and didnt even get me food I just jumped right in 👌 what a absolute joy I hope this one will be and hope she doesn't cause to much trouble on will it run cos I am excited for this one 👍 its just a shame it became shelves but I am definitely happy you guys got it before was too late that structure didnt look like had much left in it😢 and you could tell it was really loved as the lady came to see it on way out😢 but maybe get it to a great standard and go give her a drive in it once you guys sort it👍 reminis and all💚 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋

Can't wait to hear it running and all cleaned up those a sweet old cars

What a great find! Can’t wait to see what’s next for this ol’ girl. Something tells me she’s prolly not for sale. God bless you all and thank you so much for sharing!

Nice work guys. I cant wait to see the washing and getting her runnin' videos :)

Wow, My parents who passed away this past spring, had the 4 door version in my their garage. It needed an exhaust repair, that my father started but never completed. Sat in the garage since 1989. After my parents passed, my siblings and I were not sure what to do with it as it needs restored. So my sister and her husband took it as a project car. Amazing, its the exact same year and color as the one in this video. Even has the same tan vinyl roof. I remember when my dad purchased it used in the late 70's. We were on our way home with it and my dad wanted to see how the power was. He was so impressed with the power of the 350 V8 engine and smoothness of the drive train at 85 mph on the highway. When we arrived home with it, we noticed the engine has miss. Found one of the spark plug wires came off, yet the engine still had plenty of power. He really like that car. Shame it sat for so long, deteriorating.

My first car was this same year Pontiac … man I would love to see it up and running again!!

Great video! My folks bought a new 1969 LaMans. Very similar to to the 1972. I’m looking forward to the restoration.

Such a beautiful car can't wait to see what you guys do to it

Another home run. And this has special meaning to a family. Not many family heirloom cars/trucks left out there. “Cause they sure don’t make them like they use to.”- everybody’s grandparents

What a find! Absolute dream car. Can't wait to see it restored. Please, please keep it original!

Should be easier than some of the vehicles yall have done . Keep up the good work

Incredible find!!! Good luck with your rebuilding!👍👍

I bought my first car in 1982. It was a 1968 Pontiac Lemans. Great car.

Wow. My grandmother had the same car but in yellow. Sadly it had some rust issues. I could have bought it from her for 2 bucks but l already had a Camaro for my first car. I still kick myself to this day that l didn't take her up on it. Hope to find another one someday. Such an awesome story! Thank you for sharing, tugs at my heartstrings ❤

Good job and a great team, keep up the good work.

Looking forward to see what you do with it. Pressure washing video please asap!! Lol

Heck yeah. I really am glad that you are able to bring new life into that car. I have to help my dad with his car. 69 amx that hasn’t been on the road since 96 in and out of barns and been sitting in ours for years. Covered in stuff. The 390 was taken out and rebuilt and a 304 was the temporary replacement. 390 sadly locked up and the poor thing needs a whole lot. The car runs but I need to fix the fuel inlet on the carb because it snapped off. The wiring is trash. Mouse house and I gotta swap on a better rad hose. Runs mint though. Just need to get the fuel system fixed. And then I can drive it out to begin the repair process. It’ll be easier to rewire when it’s not tucked in the corner. And hopefully I can fix the 390. And I hope the 4 speed is still healthy. Dad says we need to swap the 4.10 gear out of the rear for the 3.73 because first gear is useless.

I love your jobs with a lot of patient and care to rescue those from scrap. Happy to see cars back running to the road, BIG thanks.

I look forward to the "Will It Run" video! I thought it was awesome to see the 350 on the lower front fenders. Now let's see if it has a 4 barrel. I kinda think it's a 2 barrel though. The paint looks like it should clean up nicely. And I love the color.

You all are blessed living in Texas. That same car would go for 8 to 10 grand in Commiefornia. I’m looking forward to the next episode. Thanks!

I guessed this would be an early 70s Pontiac! Awesome! Great find and a great watch, thanks.

Im not a gm guy, but always a supporter of an old classic muscle car. It does look good after all these yrs.

Don't know that I would call a LeMans a muscle car but certainly looks like a solid project car. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do to it seems as though it has a lot of potential!

Great recovery 👍

My uncle Roger bought a Lamans identical to that one when he came home from Vietnam his was a 1969. If I had the means I would buy that car and give it to him he was awarded the purple heart and credit him for saving my life. Your saving another great automobile...

When Carrel made the comment that her mother used the Le Mans to try to teach her to drive it brought back memories. My step dad was a driving instructor and he used a 72 Le Mans to teach people to drive.

I know it is a sin but I have to admit I am so envious right now. Coming from the northeast where everything is completely rotted out, there is zero chance of finding a car like this here. If you have any thoughts of selling this car, I would be first in line.

I respect everyone who were involved in this , Seriously the best piece that I' ve ever seen on KZfaq ,HATS OFF TO WELL ALL ! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!!!😌😌

Love the old Pontiacs. I’ve got a 69 Firebird that’s I’ve been working on for a few years now. Can’t wait to see y’all turn this one around. Love what you do!!

AGAIN… another great one. What a great family to consider y’all for the car. We all know this won’t become a burnout car or some LS swap project. Such a great survivor car. Not to mention, that may be the nicest car yall have ever rescued! No trees growing through the body! Lol!

Missed this last night guys, but just watched it and wow, cannot wait to see what y'all do to bring this beauty back to life.

Correct if I'm wrong guys and gals but 2 Grand is a freaken steal for this.

Hello guys, this car is a great find and is in pretty good shape . About 6 to 7 weeks ago, I pulled a 1972 Ford Maverick car out of an old garage that was in about the same shape as this car here and hauled it over to my first cousins barn and her grandson wants to restore it . I know it's not a muscle car like your find, but still a neat car, it has a 302 motor, and an automatic transmission and the doors were locked and had not been opened for years and years and the inside was in pretty good shape and the car had been bought brand new by my first cousins ex- father in law . I will see you all later, can't wait to see your car all cleaned up and back running . So take care and stay safe and keep on working on the old vehicles . 🤗👍💖💫

What an epic sound your chevy trunk makes - love that le mans I have always had a soft spot for those.

I love this find, i cant wait to see it in it’s former glory.

I love blowing up your channel, we hope that it helps you. Thanks for sharing your work and time with us, as always we appreciate it.

As an old tow and recovery guy, nice use of the "Holmes Tree". I can also vouch for the nylon recovery straps. For what I've seen you do, a 3" x 20 or 30 foot strap would be ore than sufficient. That should have a 30,000# break strength so it would be suitable for a 15,000# vehicle (2:1 safety factor). Stop by your local FD and see if they have some old firehose. Use that as a guard if you're strap is going over any sharp edges. FYI, tow straps will have hooks on each end. Recovery straps have loops. I carried a 3 x 30 strap with a couple of D-hook shackles in my pickup for years. Never let me down.

That hug said it all. Well done. Good people ,good deeds, ...this is what it's all about.

Great job getting the Pontiac out of the old shed! Looking forward to seeing it all cleaned up and running again! Thanks for the Great video!

Can't wait ....!!! ... My friend used to car pool in a gold Le Mans back in the day ... brings back great memories ...

That one is a keeper. Not the typical car for you guys but a great find. I had a green 72' lemans myself for many years. She was my baby. Wouldn't mind having another😉

Best to you on this project! Looking forward to seeing this transformation!

Really enjoyed watching this video! Can't wait to see it come alive and run again!

Wonderful find! unusual vinyl top option. Really neat automobile with lots of family history. looking forward to the next video of the Le mans.

LOL, nowadays any 2-door with chrome bumpers is called a muscle car but it was a great save, that building looks like it could collapse any day. I own a 72 LeMans like this they are great cars. The LeMans is the exact same car as a GTO but with different front end treatment and badging and usually a lower performance drivetrain although they could be ordered with the same engines and transmissions offered in the GTO. I hope the frame is alright on this one as that seems to be their weakness. The frames are prone to rusting out at the corners especially below the corners of the windshield where water runs down the sides of the firewall and lands on the frame. I purchased my LeMans 8 years ago out of Arizona and the frame is still in perfect condition. I had purchased a 71 LeMans new when I was 18 and always wanted to relive those days.......best decision I ever made.

the secret of your success is you touch the heart in every thing you post. keep it up

Exceptional film work! Great intro!!! Much love and I pray this little message finds you blessed!!! PRAISE HIM!!!!!

Not a muscle car but still worthy of being brought back to life. My Grandmother also owned a 1972 Pontiac LeMans coupe that ended up being her last car. Same color with the black vinyl top and green vinyl interior. It was purchased at J.C. Fortune Pontiac in Florida. It had a 2 barrel 350 V8 with a 350 turbo hydramatic trans, A/C, bumper guards, side impact strips and an AM radio. Unfortunately she gave it to me when I was a dumb 16 year old. I owned it for about 5 years. I sold it to my friends Uncle who ended up driving it for almost 10 years so it ended up having a decent life span of 20 years and almost 200k miles.

I think you should go back and see if he would sell that dodge, it was in really nice condition for its age.

Totally awesome barn find.its the lord's reward for all your hard work.cant wait for the next video.god bless you all guy's.🙏 John from England.

I was in high school, when my mother (of all people) decided it was time to get a new car...and one day, without mentioning a word, came home with a BRAND NEW 1971 LeMans Sport...she paid $2,825 for it, and WHOEVER had ordered it special, had basically 'walked away' from it before taking delivery. The thing had full rally gauges, hood tach, dual exhausts, 'posi-traction' 3:52 rear, bucket seats, TH400 transmission behind a 400 Poncho engine...she pulls up, I came out to see 'who it was', and she says, 'get in...let's go for a ride'...the thing was pretty quick, for a 'first smog-year car'! It had 140 on the speedometer, and needless to say, 'Little Old Lady from Pasadena' didn't have anything on her that day...she pegged the speedometer on the highway, just to 'see what it could do'...I was white-knuckled! Humor was when we got back near the house...I said, 'did you order it like this, or was it on the lot?' She admits 'she just saw it and liked it, and her old car was wore out'...I then replied, 'you know, that's a tachometer on the hood...just make sure it never goes into the red'...she says, 'that's a gauge?' I said, 'what you bought was a sleeper GTO...and yes, that's a gauge'...worst mistake she EVER made on cars, was in trading it 5-years later on a new 1976 Olds Cutlass Supreme...uuugh.

Restored it is a great thing that you guys are saving this car! Hope to see her running soon.

I can’t wait for more videos on this one. It’s going to be great watching that one come back to life.

What an unusual roof trim package, I don't think I've ever seen it, portholes and all.

Great video guys, will look forward to an update on this one.

❤ Loved. This ole Pontiac will truley be Loved. Great find all. Great job on getting it out before building collapses. Looking forward to part 2. Love what you do. Trucker Ray ❤

Solid car! Can't wait to see you guys dive into it

Nice car. Can't wait to see It cleaned and running. Nice to see the lady the last owner come out to see it off.

U guys done a great job getting that car out of that shed I believe it's gonna be a nice car for someone

Cannot wait to see how well this Pontiac cleans up and if you can get it to run! What an awesome find! This is the kind of videos I love!!!

This was the best barn find Lance. This car look's in really good condition! All cleaned up this Pontiac is going too look awesome. All way's liked this style car. Guy's as usual you did a great job. Thank You.... Can't wait to see the next vidio on this car!!

Too bad he couldn't get the chance to do it. Glad you got it and I will be glued to the upcoming weeks.

Just stumbled on this video and wow. Took me through all kinds of emotions. I’ll admit that I got a little choked up seeing the owner get choked up. I have my mother’s 71 Camaro and I think of her everything I drive it.

Awesome find guys can't wait to see the follow up video on this classic

Look forward to the LeMans running, and moving down the highway on it's own volition. It's always an adventure watching the work involved at getting these older cars running, and getting spruced up, at least close to what they where when they where first parked for the duration! I believe you got a great deal on this car, and it should be a wonderful video upcoming, to see it as we all expect!

Such an iconic muscle car! Thanks for sharing!
