     Welcome to our listing for a Great 1966 Pontiac LeMans Convertible. This LeMans was owned by the same person for over 30 years. After 30 years of ownership he decided to trade this desirable convertible on a C5 Corvette. This car has had good care and was always stored inside. Here is a Classic Convertible with Great History, that you have a chance to purchase at an affordable price.

     The engine is a 326 cu in V-8 and runs out super. After years of basically storage we decided that it could use some maintainence. We took the engine out and replaced the main seals and pan gasket. We also installed all new belts, new hoses, and a new fuel pump. To be safe we also replaced the thermostat and installed a fresh water pump. To make the LeMans run the way it was intended we gave it a "Tune-up" that included all new spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a distributor cap and rotor. It runs out GREAT! The transmission is a 2-speed powerglide that shifts properly. This Car really Drives Out Super!

     The color on this 1966 Pontiac LeMans is really eye catching especially with the black convertible top. The body is in really great condition, showing no signs of rust anywhere. The LeMans has been repainted at some point and certainly shows some wear from the years. There are minor scratches and minor dents (nothing major), it looks amazing from 10 feet away, but could use repainted to bring the LeMans to "Show Quality"! To say it in the easiest way this LeMans is of Great Driver Quality! In the underneath photos you will notice minor patch work in the lower rear inner wheel wells (nothing exterior we can see), this repair was done years ago and is the only sign of possible rust repair. The floors, rocker panels, underneath doors and gas tank area all look good. The only hickup we can find is the fuel guage only goes to 1/4 tank when completely full. We did replace the sending unit, so the flaw must be in the fuel guage.

     The interior has the bucket seat option with floor console and floor shift. We have already purchased a "New Carpet Kit" and "New Seat Cover Kit", these will come with the car. For comfort this LeMans Convertible has the air conditioning option and it is in proper working order.

     To bring this 1966 LeMans into the 21st century we installed 17" BOSS 338 GRAY Wheels and covered them with 245/45ZR17 Sumitomo tires. It looks much more modern than the 14" steel wheels with trim rings and baby moons that were on the LeMans when we traded for it. We still have the stockies and will include them in the sale.

     I have been in the Used Car Business for over 30 years and sold more than 100 Classic cars. You can trust my judgement and check my feedback, I will be honest about the car and do what I can to earn your business. This is a Great opportunity to own a classic 1966 Pontiac LeMans convertible, drive it the way it is, or restore it to your specifications. This LeMans would certainly make a Super GTO Clone candidate! For more information send a e-mail or better yet give Danny a call at CARSTORE 308-380-1040. Carstore is centrally located in the United States in Grand Island, Nebraska and we invite your inspection or a third party inspection. The 1966 Pontiac LeMans will be sold "As-Is" with no warranty expressed or implied. A non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of accepted offer, balance due within 7 days. Transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser. We will work with any shipper or meet you at a convient airport.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek

Tue, Jul 11 2017

Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.

Sell Your Own: 2006 Pontiac GTO

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
