Here is a chance to buy a great, original classic.  This 1966 Pontiac Lemans was purchased new in Honolulu, Hawaii, where its owner was stationed in the Navy.  From there, it went to a few different states on the mainland, ending up in Florida.  The original owner kept it until their exterminator bought it from them.  He told me he had it almost 10 years when I bought it from him.  It's pretty much original, except for one repaint.  The interior is 100% original !  Original seats, seat belts, steering wheel, carpet, headliner, door panels, dash, radio, visors, rear package tray...even the original keys!  Other than a hole the diameter of your little finger, the headliner is excellent.  The package tray needs replaced from sun damage, the radio turns on but doesn't make any noise, and all but the right rear power windows still work.  I never looked to see if it was the switch or the motor, but assume the worst and you won't be disappointed.  The factory power antenna still works.  It has all of it's original glass. It looks like all of it's original body panels. 

The car comes with all 5 of its original Rally 1 wheels.  I have 4 trim rings and center caps, but three of them don't want to stay on.  The original jack and hardware is in the trunk. The original owners manual and folder from Kapiolani Motors is still in the glove compartment, as is the original tire pressure decal.  I love stuff like that !

The car runs and drives incredibly.  It starts with one pump of the gas, idles immediately, and it accelerates smoothly.  The power steering is amazing in these old cars.  The power brakes work well, and the power booster was replaced earlier this year.  They stop the car effortlessly, but if you hit them really hard, they will pull a bit.  I'm sure its just an adjustment. For normal driving, they're great.  The headlight and taillights work, along with the brake lights and back up lights.  The horn and wipers work also.  You can fly in and drive this home without fear.  The engine has never been apart, and has only received normal maintenance items.  Water pump, hoses, tune up items, etc. were obviously changed, but the engine was never painted up, no aftermarket goodies added...just normal wear and tear items to keep it running well.  88,000 actual, original miles, and you'd never know it.

The 326 engine is quiet and powerful.  No crazy dual exhaust, no aftermarket intakes or carbs, just a great, original looking and running V-8.  The automatic transmission shifts like a new car.  Instant engagement, smooth and quiet operation, all operated through the factory console mounted shifter. 

 It's a time capsule waiting to be freshened up for its new owner.  If you wanted to make a GTO clone, it would be a great candidate. 

 It does have a few spots here and there, s you can see in the photos, but much less than the average I've seen in GTOs and other cars of that era. The trunk was patched with a thick piece of steel, and though rusty looking, you can stand on it.  It's very solid.

My description of this car is what you will say when you see it.  It's not a show car, and it's not a restored cruiser.  It's not a barn find since it was always registered.  It's a lightly used, well maintained classic Pontiac with the similiar good looks of the famous GTO, and could be someone's daily driver just as it sits.  It's an affordable antique that can be driven home and enjoyed, all while you fix up what you want. 

YOU CAN OWN THIS CAR FOR $10,900.  If you want to wait the auction out, the reserve price is a little bit lower than that.  If you don't want to wait, don't.  If you do, good luck...it just might save you some money.

Email me at northshorebill@aol.com, text or call me at 941-740-22seven seven, or contact me through ebay.  Don't hesitate if you want it.  No dreamers or time wasters, PLEASE.  It's a great car looking for a new home.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction

Sat, Apr 4 2020

Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction.  As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country.  In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals.  This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer.  The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.
