1963 Pontiac Lemans

Hello Pontiac Lovers,

I am in need of some info and guidance.

I have a 1963 Pointiac Lemans with a 326 in it. It runs and drives and would be a perfect project car. Everything is there, not missing any trim, seats are great, windows crank perfect, doors open/close great, ect.

What’s it worth? How do I find out more info about it?









I appreciate any and all info –

Thank you,

New Member to HCP

First Welcome to HCP
Second you should swing by the new members area and introduce yourself there too.
Third that is a very nice car, how do you come across it?
I cant tell you what its worth, all I can suggest is to listen some of the guys on here, they really know their stuff. Oh and do LOTS of research.

Thank you hrtbt 1.

I will head to the new members page and do that.

I am up for the research and I thought this was a good place to start. I can get the Vin# if that helps as well with the research

Nice looking Lemans! I'd leave it as is and just cleanup the rough spots. Be a fun daily driver.

I wouldn't sell that I'd hang on it's worth some serious Bucks, may not be a SuperDuty but a '63 Lemans is really hard to find to start with and it has the 326 and all original and it that good of shape.Should get an easy $20,000. Just my opinion my be worth more?

Guy's

Here is the Vin Number - 263P5217

Does this help determine its value at all?

Thanks,

Well its official - the car is For Sale

I have had so many people interested in the car, it should go to a true Pontiac lover

More pictures will be taken and it will hit eBay as soon as Sunday - I will keep everyone posted

Thanks,

Wish you Luck, hope you get a good price out of it and it goes to a good home. Looks like it's been garaged all it's life.

The car is too nice and has too much potential to part out

Get on eBay and search for Item # 160319062902

Bid Early and Bid Often

Thank you,

Why would you want to part it out anyway or even suggest that? People here love their Pontiacs. We don't come here to make a profit or find out what our cars are worth so we can sell them. Good luck to the car and hope it finds an owner who really appreciates it this time.

Relax Poncho - I have had several suggestions that I would make more money parting it out. Obviously I want it to go to a good home to someone that loves these cars because I am selling it complete - its a very cool car

I am more of a Chevy guy - if it wasn't so complete then I would have dropped in a small block and tunelled it for a Turbo 350 tranny and kept it. But there are people (I am hoping) that LOVE this car and will restore it the way it should be.

Ended at less than double that amount. Hope it found a home with a true Pontiac guy who will take car of it and keep it all Pontiac.

It didn't get to $20,000 like I quoted earlier in this thread, maybe he was hoping to get that much?
