Up for auction is a 1964 Pontiac Lemans Convetible, this is a project car pulled out of a barn after about 23 years. The car is originally white with saddle interior. It has a 326 v8 ( not believed to be original motor, original motor pulled out in early 70s) and automatic transmission. Again this is complete project, I did have it running last summer, actually ran pretty good did not smoke and ran pretty smooth I am sure with a battery and a little gas in carb it would probably start up again. Needs the following as far as body, lower fenders( I have a spare drivers side fender that is in much better shape than the one on the car now). The lower doors skins ( also have extra passenger side door that is in much better shape as well as door hinge in excellent condition.) Lower quarters, inner and outer wheel housings. The floor is pretty solid, the area where the firewall meets the floor needs to be patched, also there is about a dime size hole elsewhere. The trunk definetly need to be patched around the drivers side wheel well rest of trunk could probably use a patch job/ replacement as well. It needs new top, frame is present and seems to be in good shape, top does not work, I have not fooled with it so I dont know what it needs, prob motor. I tore out the brake line running from front to back, I have a brand new replacement other than that brakes have not been touched, the line running from the master cylinder to the dist. block was removed. I do not know the condition of the transmission I have never had it on road I am sure it needs going through. I believe all of lenses/glass is intact and in good shape. Interior needs complete restoration. T here is surface rust on hood/trunk but no rust through. At some point hood pins were installed on the car. Frame appears to be in good shape with usual surface rust. Overall good restoration candidate in my opinion. Can't think of anything else right now, feel free to ask questions, will answer them if I can. Clear title. I reserve right to end auction early>

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
