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.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
