Like a half-eaten M&M, most of the candy shell is intact on this 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport but there’s no meat. Not that they make meat-flavored M&Ms (hmm.. bacon M&Ms!). This blank slate is listed here on eBay with a current bid of $360 but the reserve isn’t met, of course. There is an $1,800 buy it now price, for a 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport. Let that sink in for a second. It’s located in Mason, Tennessee, 45 minutes northeast of one of the great cities in the U.S. – Memphis.

$1,800 for this car when it looks like a nice two-month project? You have undoubtedly noticed that it’s a bit higher in front. Yep, there’s no engine. Ok, but still, $1,800? Hagerty puts a #4 fair condition value of $4,900 so once you get an “SBC” or whatever else is going in there, and a nice 4 or 5-speed (hey, a guy can dream) you’re going to be at that price if not more. Maybe that’s why nobody has hit the buy-it-now button yet.

There’s more work to do here. The rear glass is gone and the windshield is cracked, “thanks to tow truck driver,” says the seller. I’ve had damage from a shipper in the past. $1,000 in paintwork needed, but never broken glass. The LeMans Sport was the top model in 1970 in all body styles: the two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and convertible.

Umm.. so, once you add seats and floors to the selling price, and they’re available, you’ll probably be way over Hagerty’s #4 value. I’m not sure what happened with this car, why it got stripped down so much. One call to the seller, who sounds like a nice person, will tell the tale. It’ll take some work to get it looking like this again.

So, was this the 350 or 400 V8? I believe that I’ve seen them with the 250-six but I’m just assuming that this car was a V8, I could be wrong. What would you put under the hood? Is this LeMans Sport a worthy project given its current condition?
