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!

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
