     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: 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 30th Anniversary Edition

Mon, May 29 2023

With the era of the 1960s-style muscle car ended by the ever-more-stringent emissions regulations, insurance costs and higher gasoline prices of the early 1970s, GM's Pontiac Division was ready with a lineup of flash-enhanced machines packed with (alleged) European-style performance and styling. Three of them were based on the midsize A Platform for 1973: the LeMans, the Grand Prix and the brand-new Grand Am. The 1973 Grand Am was cheaper than the luxed-up Grand Prix, but still had a BMW-ish interior and wild exterior styling; sales weren't great, but the 30th anniversary of this car seemed sufficiently momentous for Pontiac to create a special-edition package for its soon-to-be-axed successor. Here's one of these rare machines, spotted recently in a Denver car graveyard. The original rear-wheel-drive Grand Am was built for the 1973-1975 and 1978-1980 model years, but its similarity to the much cheaper LeMans kept sales numbers unimpressive. When the Grand Am name was revived for a Pontiac-badged compact on the front-drive N Platform in the 1985 model year, however, it became a big seller right away and stayed that way into our current century. The N-Body Grand Am was built through 2005, with platform updates for the 1992 and 1999 model years. Along the way, it was sibling to such cars as the Oldsmobile Calais, Buick Somerset, Chevrolet Beretta and Oldsmobile Alero. By 2003, though, the ground was shifting under Pontiac's feet. The iconic Firebird had been discontinued the previous year, and even the Grand Prix's days were officially numbered. Oldsmobile would be gone after 2004, and the entire Pontiac vehicle lineup would be shaken up soon after. The last year for the Grand Am (and the Sunfire) would be 2005, with the G6 taking its place. With all that going on, why not offer a 30th Anniversary package? After all, the Grand Prix got a 40th Anniversary Edition for 2002. Our reviewer described this car as "leaner, trimmer and more contemporary" at the time, but made no mention of the 30th Anniversary Edition. The VIN says this car is a top-grade GT1 sedan, with an MSRP of $22,325 (that's about $39,920 in 2023 dollars). Two engines were available in the 2003 Grand Am: a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder with 140 horsepower and a 3.4-liter pushrod V6 with either 170 or 175 horsepower. This car has the 175-horse V6, complete with "Ram Air" cold-air induction. That name goes way back in Pontiac history.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
