I would prefer buckets but this pic is representative of the condition of the original interior so no hurry to replace.

That’s a fantastic car! Would be perfect with a Pontiac motor in it, but I know that’s not too common. I’m not sure why, but it seems most ‘81s were sent to Canada. I would love to find one of these front bumper assemblies for my car, but most seem to be in Canada.

That is one sweet '81 Lemans. One of the nicer ones that I've seen in awhile.
Great score.

Does anyone know where l can find front wheels that match. These are six inch l need wider ones. I looked around online and they appear to be called chrome soft eights . I can only find black ones. Or are they too old to match . Sorry if it’s a stupid question. I have this car because I’m sentimental not knowledgeable.

Are the rims on the car 15" diameter on all 4 corners? What size are the rims on the rear of the car? What size are the tires that you're running on the car? Do you want to keep the same style of rim on all 4 corners?

They are 15” and I just want to replace the front ones . The guy l bought it from has front tires 6” wide and l think 12” on the back . Right now It’s winter stored so l can’t check. Online l found Cragar soft eights in chrome with the right bolt pattern but l could only find one wheel. Other manufacturers make soft eights but they are hard to find . I need front tires 8 or 10 inches wide . I am not sure. An opinion on that would be helpful . I put a new 350 in last summer so my budget is stretched this year.
