Well here we go. Have a 1966 Pontiac Lemans/GTO project up for sale or trade. I have been pushing this thing in and out of my shop for about the last 17 years and I guess im done. I have acquired most of the parts to complete this over the years some new some used. I have had the body off of the frame and sandblasted the frame and underside of the body. I coated the frame with POR15 sealant. Also replaced all of the suspension bushings with PST Poly Graphite High Performance Bushings, also have all new PST steering components, tie rods, center link, steering arm and heavy duty springs and swaybar. I also have a brand new in the box front Disc Brake Conversion kit with everything needed to upgrade from the power booster to spindles to brake hoses and everything in between. Also have new Stainless Steel brake lines for front and rear to the master cylinderI have also purchased all of the sheet metal patch panels needed for repairs, lower quarters, lower windshield, trunk sections, floor sections. Also have NIB fenders and GTO steel hood. Ihave all side glass and front and rear windshields. I have all interior components but seats will need re-covered as well as door panels n such. I have the center console and its in good shape. exterior chrome is all there but not necessarily show quality but should all be there. I have an excellent set of chrome headlight bezels (1 new after market). The Grills are in great shape no cracks or missing tabs. I have a good front bumper but i cant find the rear, still looking though. I also have lots of emblems and lettering for the interior and exterior trims. Also have door handles and window cranks. There is no engine or tranny but i do have the cross member and drive shaft. Basically evrthing is there it just needs the body work completed and re-assembled i just do not have the time or patience anymore. Please email with any questions or detailed photos. I forgot to mention there are several extra pieces of chrome trim and emblems. There are 2 very nice grab bar assemblies 1 with blue handle other with black both with very minimal pitting. Also tail lights are in great shape for originals. Then there is some misc stuff but all for the 66 / 67 cars.Thank you

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.

Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek

Thu, Jul 9 2015

The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.
