I owned a 69 Pontiac that was either a Custom S, Tempest, Lemans or ??? The thing that baffled me was that is had center posts on the windows. Full frame around the window. Anyone have any ideas on what it was and how many were made? I have NEVER seen the same car anywhere else....

 

I have found a few good vin identification for these cars. Try ultimate gto.com. I did this and found out my car is a 69 lemans 2door coupe hard top and where it was made. I have not been able to tell what engine originally came in this car. I read that as a hole, about 70,000+ in all in different trims. (Gto,lemans, conv.etc...) hope this helps.
