I'm selling my 1963 LeMans convertible. This is a numbers matching car with the 195 cubic inch four cylinder and 3 speed transmission. It is Kelverton Blue (light blue factory color) with a white top.This is a nice driver that I have owned for 4 years. It turns heads everywhere it goes and is a blast to drive. The convertible top functions perfectly and the tonneau cover is in good condition. It has a white interior with blue carpet. Very nice Pontiac wire hubcaps with new tires. Window glass is all in good condition with no cracks. All the guages work. It has a Hurst shifter. I have found most of the repair parts on Ebay. The body is in excellent condition. It is not perfect though. I call it a survivor car with minor repairs. There are a few minor things that it needs. New window felts and the period correct radio that is in it needs repair, which can be done for about $150.

This model year was a historic moment for Pontiac. The LeMans, with its rear transmission and independent rear suspension was a breakthrough in engineering. It is the precursor to the GTO which came out in 1964.

It is licensed and inspected in Texas.

I have made the following repairs:

New windshield $650
New windshield chrome $250
New Tail light lenses $300
New rear bumper $250
New sun visors $150
New exhaust system $250
Rebuilt Starter $125
New Trunk Liner $125
Repaired the turn signal $80
Installed Seat belts $250
New Battery $75
Engine Work $1,600 (I'll be glad to share on the work performed by Ramsey's Rods in Fort Worth)
New drum and wheel cylinder on right front wheel $674

I have the following extra parts that I will include:

Complete set of bulbs and fuses
A spare starter core and solenoid (haven't tested, so assume it would need to be rebuilt)
The old set of windshield chrome that is in fair condition
Body shop and chassis manuals and wiring diagrams

Here's what needs to be fixed or repaired (none of which prevents it from being driven and enjoyed):

There is a very minor leak at the differential
The interior is a 6, good from 10 feet
It has a period correct Pontiac radio that does not work
Needs a jack
It has an electric fuel pump (the engine driven one is bad, but could be replaced)
Back up lights need to be re-connected
One of the interior courtesy lights need a new socket

I've tried to accurately describe the condition of this vehicle. Don't expect show car quality, but it's a car you can drive and enjoy while you improve on it like I have.

Thanks for looking!

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate

Thu, Mar 21 2019

It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Muller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hatz was still employed at the time, and in his company car. Who recorded the calls? His wife. Hatz and his missus apparently saw the storm coming and started stacking defenses early. Hatz's wife, who can be heard encouraging Hatz during at least one call, sent the recordings to Hatz's attorney from her mobile phone. According to a Google translation of the German newspaper Handelsblatt's report, she included the note, "Here is a very long, but quite informative conversation on the current situation with useful formulations." The report in Handelsblatt said that in Germany it is generally "not allowed" to record a conversation and pass it on to a third party. We don't know how the authorities will handle this matter, since prosecutors found the recordings in e-mail attachments on Mrs. Hatz's mobile phone. Remember, when the diesel scandal broke, VW spent months saying that only a small number of low-level personnel were behind it, and all of the higher-ups had been blindsided. Ex-CEO Martin Winterkorn claimed to be "stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group." Winterkorn successor Matthias Muller said, "according to current information, a few developers interfered in the engine management." Former VW USA honcho Michael Horn told a congressional committee that "a couple of software engineers" programmed the software for reasons no one could understand. In the recorded conversations, Hatz apparently called Muller to find out how VW planned to treat him.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.
