Up for auction is a wrecked, rolling shell of a 1969 Lemans 2 door hardtop. Was a floor shift automatic with buckets and console.This car is mostly parted out as you can see in the pictures. I was going to scrap it but when I pulled the carpet and saw the floors I thought someone might be able to use them, would be a shame to scrap it. The only non-sheet metal parts left are the gas tank, driveshaft, windshield, rear window and exhaust. The exhaust consists of dual straight pipes with cherry bomb mufflers. Sounded great before I pulled the engine. The driver side tail pipe is bent from the accident. The windshield and rear window glass is good, no cracks and is tinted.  No other glass is included. Both doors are already sold. The chassis is complete and is 4 wheel drum. The frame is bent in the rear from the accident but is very solid. It could probably be fixed fairly easily. The rear is open, 10 bolt. I don't know the ratio. I looked for the markings on the tubes and didn't see any. The floors are rock solid, all original. The rusted places seen in the pictures are surface rust, no weak places that I could see. The trunk floor and inner/outer rear wheel wells are very nice as well except where the trunk pan is bent from the rear ender. There is one patched place.[about 4"X4"] on the passenger side toe board [shown in the last picture]. That is the only patch I can see on any of the floors, passenger area or trunk. These floors are original, never painted [other than factory overspray], as they were from the factory so there is nothing covered up. What you see is what you get. As you can see the trunk lid and driver's rear quarter are toast. The passenger rear quarter looks pretty straight but does have some bondo in it. The front fenders are useable but also have bondo where the hood meets them and at the bottom, where they all rust. The hood is rusted in the underside framing near the windshield and has holes drilled from hood pins. The area under the windshield at the cowl vents unfortunately has the usual rust-thru [2nd to last pict.].  I am starting the auction at $550 which is what I figure I can get if I continue to piece it out and scrap the body. What you see in the pictures is what you get.  No parts will be taken off the car while the auction is running. This car rolls easily but has no steering and no brakes. The title is clear and open, VIN plate and body tag are in place. Any questions, please ask. I can take more pictures of any areas of concern, just let me know. Buyer to pay in full within 5 days of auction ending. $250 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending. Thanks for looking, Bill

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes

Sat, Jun 20 2015

General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.
