Here is a chance to buy a great, original classic. This 1966 Pontiac Lemans was purchased new in Honolulu, Hawaii, where its owner was stationed in the Navy. From there, it went to a few different states on the mainland, ending up in Florida. The original owner kept it until their exterminator bought it from them. He told me he had it almost 10 years when I bought it from him. It's pretty much original, except for one repaint. The interior is 100% original ! Original seats, seat belts, steering wheel, carpet, headliner, door panels, dash, radio, visors, rear package tray...even the original keys! Other than a hole the diameter of your little finger, the headliner is excellent. The package tray needs replaced from sun damage, the radio turns on but doesn't make any noise, and all but the right rear power windows still work. I never looked to see if it was the switch or the motor, but assume the worst and you won't be disappointed. The factory power antenna still works. It has all of it's original glass. It looks like all of it's original body panels.
The car comes with all 5 of its original Rally 1 wheels. I have 4 trim rings and center caps, but three of them don't want to stay on. The original jack and hardware is in the trunk. The original owners manual and folder from Kapiolani Motors is still in the glove compartment, as is the original tire pressure decal. I love stuff like that !
The car runs and drives incredibly. It starts with one pump of the gas, idles immediately, and it accelerates smoothly. The power steering is amazing in these old cars. The power brakes work well, and the power booster was replaced earlier this year. They stop the car effortlessly, but if you hit them really hard, they will pull a bit. I'm sure its just an adjustment. For normal driving, they're great. The headlight and taillights work, along with the brake lights and back up lights. The horn and wipers work also. You can fly in and drive this home without fear. The engine has never been apart, and has only received normal maintenance items. Water pump, hoses, tune up items, etc. were obviously changed, but the engine was never painted up, no aftermarket goodies added...just normal wear and tear items to keep it running well. 88,000 actual, original miles, and you'd never know it.
The 326 engine is quiet and powerful. No crazy dual exhaust, no aftermarket intakes or carbs, just a great, original looking and running V-8. The automatic transmission shifts like a new car. Instant engagement, smooth and quiet operation, all operated through the factory console mounted shifter.
It's a time capsule waiting to be freshened up for its new owner. If you wanted to make a GTO clone, it would be a great candidate.
It does have a few spots here and there, s you can see in the photos, but much less than the average I've seen in GTOs and other cars of that era. The trunk was patched with a thick piece of steel, and though rusty looking, you can stand on it. It's very solid.
My description of this car is what you will say when you see it. It's not a show car, and it's not a restored cruiser. It's not a barn find since it was always registered. It's a lightly used, well maintained classic Pontiac with the similiar good looks of the famous GTO, and could be someone's daily driver just as it sits. It's an affordable antique that can be driven home and enjoyed, all while you fix up what you want.
YOU CAN OWN THIS CAR FOR $10,900. If you want to wait the auction out, the reserve price is a little bit lower than that. If you don't want to wait, don't. If you do, good luck...it just might save you some money.
Email me at northshorebill@aol.com, text or call me at 941-740-22seven seven, or contact me through ebay. Don't hesitate if you want it. No dreamers or time wasters, PLEASE. It's a great car looking for a new home.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Florida man runs down bikers in traffic
Tue, May 31 2016A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Pontiac G6 GT Convertible
Sun, Jan 8 2023GM's Pontiac Division sold its first convertibles during the 1927 model year (just a year after the division's creation), then proceeded to offer memorable drop-tops for most of the following 83 years. The best-selling convertible to bear Pontiac badges during our current century was the retractable-hardtop-equipped G6, available from the G6's introduction in 2006 through the second-to-last model year of 2009 (the Sunfire convertible was available just through 2000, while the Firebird convertible vanished with the demise of the slow-selling Firebird itself after 2002). Here's one of those G6 GT convertibles, found in a Denver-region boneyard after a crash ended its driving career. Mashed right front, popped airbags. This sort of damage might have been worth repairing in 2009, but not today. The 2007 G6 was available as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. All the convertibles had the GT trim level and the 3.5-liter V6 and its 224 horsepower. The MSRP on this car was $28,750 (about $42,325 in 2022 dollars), making it the most expensive G6. The power hardtop roof folded up into the trunk, leaving 1.8 cubic feet of trunk storage space with the top down. This Karmann-designed roof system made the interior much quieter than that of a traditional soft-top convertible. All G6s were built at Orion Assembly in Michigan, where Chevy Bolts are born today. The G6 was built through the 2010 model year, making it one of the very last Pontiac models (the Vibe also made it to 2010, though it was really a Toyota Matrix). In hindsight, 2007 turned out to be an ominous year for GM.Â
