1969 Lemans Convertible W/ Overdrive Every Day Driver Gto Clone on 2040-cars
Ventura, California, United States
|
Less than 2000 miles on rebuilt motor and overdrive transmission. ---- strong and reliable. Daily driven.
This is my a 1969 convertible Pontiac Lemans. I was 3/4 of the way fixing her up when I was laid off. So I can’t finish it. But it doesn't need much now. But what has been done is the following. The motor has been professionally rebuilt by Jasper Motors with the emphasis on reliability and performance. A performance cam...Crane cam 454 lift and a 270 duration, so its not bad on gas but you can burn rubber. Also, the valve train has roller rockers and stud locks. Engine runs great, reliable and runs cool. I drive it daily, in traffic and on the freeway. It has a performance OVERDRIVE automatic transmission, 200R4 with a B&M shifter ..... At 80 miles an hour the engine is only turning 2400 RPM’s Great for Gas mileage, An older car but with a modern overdrive transmission to bring her into the new era of better engine life and MPG! The paint job was done about a year ago. and descent for what I could afford. There are a few nicks and scratches here and there but looks nice. Bushings replaced when the car was lowered and the rest of the suspension is nice and tight. NEW ! POWER Disc brakes installed up front , slotted and drilled. Break lines redone. Rear brakes rebuilt with less than 2000 miles on them. New fuel lines, pump and Gas tank plumbed for EFI if desired in the future. New AUTOGAGE instrument gauges, all work. The car has been lowered 2" . Tires up front are brand new. Rears have less than 2000 miles on them. The car has just been aligned. Brand new shocks. All glass is good/ Windows roll up and down. The car is mechanically a great car and I was then going to concentrate on the interior but then I got laid off. I wanted the car to be a great reliable driver first and that is what it is now. Drives great. Sounds like the 60's with the custom exhaust. __________________________________________________________________ Here’s what I would have done and or needs doing: Drive it as it is or... The convertible top canvas needs replacing( I have a replacement header bow that comes with the car). Also the top was working fine up until a week ago. Probably a fuse. I have not replaced it. So I just manually do it. The interior upholstery is dirty and has nicks and a tear on one of the seats. Carpet has been cut to install the shifter. I would replace it. Dash cracked from sun. No radio. Car has a few little little rust spots but not real noticeable. In the trunk lower side panel on the left side has rust but not noticeable from outside vehicle ( panel can be replaced if you cared to) Drivers door lock sometimes doesn’t work. May need lubricating? I was inspecting it and that is why the door panel inside is missing. I didn’t put it back on cause I always intended to replace the interior. I through it out. Turn signal unit in steering column needs replacing BUT I have a brand new unit to go in that comes with car. Easy install. The Endura bumper could be fitter better...the body to bumper gaps are a little wider than I would like, but it looks good overall. __________________________________________________________________ ALL THE HARD WORK IS DONE.. I tried to describe the car as best I can and with what I know. But I encourage buyers to ask as many questions as you have. And also included in the auction... I have a red Chevelle (1968 A body) seat upholstery kit un-used that will come with the car ( front and rear seats and front and rear door panels, with side arm rest, conv. well covers and rear side panels...and a red carpet ) I got as a deal from a guy who never installed it in his car. I was going to install it in mine, but I never got around to it. So I will include it in the auction. Or you can just sell the red interior and get your own if you want. PAYMENT:Non Refundable Deposit of 500.00 due with in 24 hours paid via Paypal. And a balance to be paid by Cashiers check with in 7 days. I’m not a dealer so car is sold AS IS, no warranty implied or stated. Prefer you pick it up but I will ship it at owners expense. I know some shippers and the cost varies such as 600 dollars to 1500.00, maybe more depending on location. My zip code is 93001, Ventura, California. |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction
Sat, Apr 4 2020Once 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.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For 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.
