1964 Pontiac Le Mans with GTO badging This is a great example of the beginning of the Muscle Car generation! A great car you can get in, turn the key and drive off in. Mechanically, there is nothing wrong with this vehicle - it starts and runs just as its supposed to, and sounds just like a true muscle car is supposed to sound! In the ten years we've owned this car, we haven't done anything to the cosmetics to refurbish or restore the car beyond its current condition. However, as you can see from the photographs, the car looks beautiful and the interior is almost 95% original with the original vinyl seats. The only thing I know is not original are the two kick panels with speakers. The radio in the dash is original, however the guts were removed and replaced with a solid state chassis and mated to an XM tuner in the glove compartment. The car is 51 years old and probably drives just as it did when new (which is not what you'ld expect if you've never driven a car from the sixties era). We have done regular maintenance on this car and when necessary, we've replaced mechanical components that needed repair or replacement including rebuilding the automatic transmission approximately five years ago and replacing most of the suspension components about three years ago. The car has GTO badging on the body outside and inside the doors and dash as well as a tri-power carburetor set up on the original 326 V-8 engine. The mileage is showing 54,107 and I believe that may be accurate - before we owned this car it sat on blocks in someone's garage in St. Louis, MO. We brought it to dry El Paso, TX where its been driven perhaps twice a month and stored in a garage 100% of the time. The car is insured for "stated value" and the insurance company placed a $25,000 value on the car. We are willing to see it sell for substantially less, but we're not going to give it away. If you have a question about where our reserve might be, or wish to make an offer for an early sale, write us. The car is also listed locally and we reserve the right to cancel this listing early if the car is sold locally. If you are the successful buyer, you will need to paypal a $500.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours and pay the balance within 3 business days via wire transfer or cashier check. If the final payment is by cashier check, we will hold up delivery of the car until our bank has assured us the check (even cashier checks) has cleared. You are responsible for arranging shipping on this car, but we're happy to help in the process by making the car available for pick up whenever necessary. But, please don't arrange to pick up the car until we have assured you that all funds have cleared. The title is a clear Texas title and we will deliver the signed title and any documents necessary for you to transfer title in your state. For shipping purposes the car is located in the 79912 zip code. |

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced
Mon, Jan 29 2024DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
