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!

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
