 1971 Pontiac Lemans...350 motor, automatic, I think a 2 barrel carb. Honest people here with 100% feedback on well over 400 transactions. Won't take too much to get this one up and running because although it has been parked at our house what seems like forever, a few years back my sons tinkered with it and fired it up and drove it around the neighborhood for a while.

We are not car collectors, classic car finders or have anything to do with working on cars. Following is a history of what we know about the car in case you are interested.

In 1994we were renting a house we owned out to an older couple that was in San Bernardino, Ca. One month they were short on money for rent and said they were going to sell this 71 Lemans anyway and would I take it instead of rent. I did not need the car, or want it, but did have a  69 GTO in my youth and although this was no GTO,  I liked  the Pontiac front end look and I took it anyway just to have a third car around for my wife and I. So I registered it and we drove it occasionally while our other cars were  in the shop, etc. Over the next few years when our kids hit Junior high and thought it was a cool car, I added a paint job, used 15 inch tires and rims, and had a shop put station wagon springs in it to jack up the back a bit. That's it. Figured as my kids got older one of them would want this car, but that never happened and I have held it long enough, as now the same kids are into their 30's and the car has just been sitting. The car came to me running fine with I think around 97k miles. It now has 103 k. So that's about how much I drove it in  23 years, mainly years ago taking the kids to school, store, etc. I have never taken it on long trips, etc. and as I said, when I parked it, it ran fine, just got tired of insuring a 3rd car and kids have all moved out.

About the car now.....If you are interested...factor in this....I am easy to deal with and if you want to see the car prior to a bid, just call me and come by and check it out. 951-two zero two-73eighttwo... I have nothing to hide, want whoever gets it to be happy. It IS NOT important to me to just sell this car, somebody needs to want it and be happy with their purchase. Whether you drive it, clean it, fix it up and resell, I don't care, but I just need to know that you knew the truth going into the deal.

It sat outside under a tree so there are tree dropping spots on the top, hood, trunk. The sides don't look too bad, but paint was done, probably mid 90's. 3 tires still hold air, 1 doesn't. I fill it up when I want to move it around our rv parking area. We push it, not start it up. Battery went years ago. The rear bumper is rusty, the front end still looks way cool. Interior, no headliner, 1 major hole in driver seat, need rubber lining around windows, but for the most part there and actually not looking that bad, as I have seen some older cars that are just totally torn back. The trunk keyhole is gone, so I just pop a screwdriver in the whole to open the trunk. There is what appears to be the original bumper jack, that I have used, and I think 3 of the original hubcaps are in the trunk. We try to post a lot of pics, but I know I won't describe everything and you may not see it in the pics, so please email me with ???'s and feel free to call for that matter. Like I said few years ago when I told my sons I was going to get it out of here, they came over, messed a bit with it, fired it up and ran it around here, then parked it and went on with their lives, which is cool, but we are tired of looking at it and not going to save it for our grandkids that may want it in like 10 more years or more.

It has a perfectly clean title and is and has been on legal California non-operation status. Because it is a 1971 it does not need smog . The last year that I had it registered and was driving it around was 2003. It has air conditioning and AM radio, I do not remember if either of those were working so lets go with not working. I seem to remember power steering, no door locks or power seats.I'm sure Im forgetting plenty so please email or ask. Thank you and bid with confidence. You can always keep it on non-op until you are ready to drive. That doesn't cost me anything every year. This car is for sale locally, so this auction is subject to end at any time, HOWEVER, if there is any bid in on the car we would of course not end the auction or sell it locally, but it would go to the Ebay high bidder.If you are high bidder for this LeMans, you are responsible for removing it from our property, within 7 days of auction close, hopefully sooner. We will work with you, but please don't bid on this and then leave it here. We want it out.  It is parked on concrete in our sideyard and we have 12 foot gates so getting to it is pretty easy. I cannot help with loading, pushing or anything. PLEASE only bid if you have the finances to complete this auction.  Paypal is fine or cash on pickup will work too after the initial $200 deposit...any questions email me or call...Thanks for looking!!!

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.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
