Wow...Super Rare '72 Lemans, #s 400/M22 4-sp, Orig Owner
 

Talk about a rare car with a great story, great docs, and great options. Original owner opted for the 400 and M22 in the Lemans, as he was sure a GTO would have been stolen from the NY streets.

Traded in a '70 383 Cuda for it.

That dealership was right on Hempstead Tpke, which was one of the "woodward avenues" back in the day. MANY street races took place on that road, myself involved in a lot of them

scuncio, I'm a sucker for "less desirable" models, love it!

What's your take on the headliner? Looks like more than just a little mold based on the color. Would you expect to find some significant issues underneath?

Not sure what others think - but if not from a leaky window/roof most of the time those headliner stains are from rodent urine.

My guess is the roof insulation / sound proofing tar paper has come loose & is laying on the headliner , causing it to discolor . Same with the sail panels , the cardboard is bleeding through .

Interesting! I don't see any obvious rust issues on the outside of the panels, so I suppose that's good!
