1970 Pontiac Lemans - True American Muscle Car - Possible Gto Judge Clone on 2040-cars
Ellicott City, Maryland, United States
Up for sale is a 1970 Pontiac LeMans someone started to turn into a GTO Judge Clone. They added the spoiler in the back and what looks to be an original GTO Ram Air Hood. The original build sheet (which is included with the car) shows a 350 engine but the side of the car and air cleaner say 400 so I have no way to tell whether this is the original engine and transmission or not. I am not a mechanic and so I really don't know. It starts and runs (like a bat out of hell if you step on it) and the odometer has not changed from 22941 miles since I got it about 6 months ago. My friend who is a mechanic said he recommended a carb cleaning and/or rebuild and that the odometer/speedometer not working is probably a disconnected or broken cable (available on eBay for around $25). I was told the transmission is a 400 and it seems to shift fine through the gears. The car has Power Brakes, Power Steering, and was a factory AC car but the compressor has been removed. I took the car to the antique car show at the Howard County Fair and it got lots of compliments. It sounds awesome with the nearly new dual exhaust and just exudes American Muscle. The car does have some rust in the usual places like between the vinyl top trim and the body and the paint is bubbling and/or cracking in several places. I am sure this is an older restoration car that could use some touching up but I don't think it will take much to turn it into almost a show car. It's a nice driver as it is and someone could have a lot of fun with it. The trunk pan needs work where it meets the wheel well as that area has the worst see through rust. I have not had it on a lift but peeking under it, the car is not bad at all and she feels solid riding down the road. This is a 43 year old car so it is not going to be perfect and you can expect that not everything will work nor will it look flawless. Please don't be a dreamer but approach the car with an open mind of what you get into with an older car but also how much fun it would be to have a muscle car like this. They are getting harder and harder to find in running and driving condition. In fully restored condition, these cars are selling for upwards of $12K-$15K or more. In wrecked condition or needing total restoration they go for between $3 and $6K. At a $5000 Buy It Now price, you'll be hard pressed to find another one in as good of a condition and I paid more for it than I am selling it for but have no storage for the winter and don't want it left outside. The headliner needs to be replaced (around $70 on eBay) as well as the front bench seat cover (around $100 on eBay). Other than that, the interior is actually in very nice shape with no cracks in the dash and the rear seat looks like it just came off the Baltimore GM Plant assembly line. The 8 track radio has been removed but you can put whatever you want in it's place. The horn does not work. Brakes seem to work fine and the larger American Racing rims and tires on the back of the car sitting on the tall coil springs makes the car look pretty cool. She does leave a few drip spots on the driveway but nothing is pouring out of the car. It has been a heck of a lot of fun playing with it the last couple months but I have no winter storage capability and just don't want to see the weather get to it. I'd like it to go to someone who will enjoy it even more than I have and maybe wants to tackle a real easy restoration over the winter months. The LeMans includes two sets of keys, a reproduction original owner's manual, what's left of the deteriorating original build sheet, and a brand new Haynes repair manual. There is no warranty expressed or implied with this car. There are no refunds or exchanges. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at time of auction close or when clicking "Buy it Now". I try to price my cars very reasonably. The car is registered and insured and you are welcome to call me at 301.633.8116 to schedule a time convenient for both of us to meet to test drive the car. I have worked with several shipping companies and can assist with getting a transport quote and getting it loaded onto a shipping carrier truck but all shipping costs are at the buyers expense and the car doesn't leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. Someone will really enjoy this car! Thanks and good luck bidding! |

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
