1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport 5.7l on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:122000

Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States

71 Pontiac Lemans Sport. Original 350 4bbl. Was a console automatic, but was professionally converted to a Muncie 4 speed with a Hayes clutch and Hurst "Quick Throw" shifter.  Starts and runs very strong.  No leaks. Shifts perfectly.  Full new dual exhaust including Hooker headers. Just tuned up including oil change, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and coil.  A blast to drive!

Car has Power steering, manual brakes and originally had air conditioning (all A/C parts come with car, but are not currently installed).

Original color is Oxford White (repainted once), with black interior and black vinyl roof.  The body is very straight as you can see by the pictures.  There is no typical rust in quarters, the trunk and framerails are as solid as day 1. This car has been in the dry southwest its entire life.  Both doors close solidly and do not hang.  Car has never been wrecked.  I added the GTO rear spoiler and GT-37 reflective stripe for curb appeal.  The bumpers are straight and chrome is excellent with no pitting. Tires have over half tread and are in great shape.  Black vinyl top is new!  NOS front grilles and taillights!

Interior is almost perfect.  It has new carpet, shifter, shifter boot, reupholstered seats, and new headliner.  The door panels are great originals with no cracks or fading.  Seats move back and forth perfectly and seat back mechanisms all work along with all front and rear seatbelts.  New windshield and back glass.  All side glass moves up and down great! New dash mat.  New pkg tray.

This car looks and runs great but is not perfect.  The dash is cracked (but has new dash cover), dash has been precut by previous owner for aftermarket stereo (I did not bother installing one since I'd rather listen to the engine), gas guage inop, kick panels were cut for speakers.  The paint is very nice but does have scratches here and there that have been touched up, so from 10ft, it looks great, but to make it a true show car, you will need to detail and maybe repaint somewhere down the road.  For now, this is a fun musclecar to drive and enjoy and not worry if someone leans against it at the drive in, which is the way musclecars were meant to be.

If this were a show queen it would be in the $20k range, but my reserve is slightly less than a third of that!  I have tried to include anything I can think of, but if you have any questions, please call Greg 505-463-5829 lv msg, I will call back.  PS: car has clear title in my name.

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?

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Tue, Jun 19 2018

For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6

Sat, Sep 12 2020

What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.
