According to Mitchell, 78-80 Lemans uses 14013461, and 1981 uses 14013462

Malibu uses 14013461 from 79-81, 78 is listed as 461808

I'll have to dig out the later book for 82+, if more info is needed.

That is really interesting about the front frame rails being different.

Thanks everyone for the help

Spoke to a guy selling a 79 LeMans says car is solid need an interior.

Only rust a a little bit on pass side lower quarter.

Awesome getting a LeMans finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drove down to Jersey and .........nope!!

This thing was rotted to sh@t

There was no lower quarter of the car!!!!!!!!!!!!

No quarter no trunk no chassis frame rail !!!!!!!!

Roof all rotted out to the point when I put my hand on it when walking in between cars in the yard my thumb went right through it.

Complete waste.

So did you give him a price of what it would cost him for you to haul it away for scrap?

Sorry to hear that, but unfortunately, not surprised. People are getting real bad about upselling junk.

I think the 78-81 GP and Monte are "A specials", just like in the 69-72 era.

I think the GP and Monte are A "specials", just like in the 69-72 era.

All the 37 (Monte & G.P.) & 47 (Regal & Cutlass Supreme) coupes are cataloged as "A" specials. Believe with the change to G the special was dropped as those were the only available coupes.
