i have had this wagon for 9 years and just have no time to finish. Pains me to tell this story but here is the history. Yes it is technically a LEMANS but has GTO Hood, grill, seats, etc.  So I call it a GTO wagon.

The wagon had original 326 and was sent to a well known Pontiac racer in VA to have it totally redone. He ripped out the motor and put in a screaming 455 and rebuilt trans. Whole dash was redone with new gauges, suspension redone, etc. I spent about 7-8k with him on work taking over 6 months. Then I got a GTO hood, GTO seats, GTO Grill, his/her shifter console and front grill to make it look better. Stripped down body and primed it. Things were going well. 

Life changed...wife..family...typical story.

Car was outside covered with one of those blowup complete covers. Then car moved to a body shop in NY...unknown to me it got move outside without cover so alot of damage. Very sad. Water got inside car so shifter is ruined, carpet was soaked, etc. Hood was closed but seems motor got weathered. 

So far have changed out new carb, starter, distributor, pugs, wires. Has MSD ignition box, Skip White distributor, ..tons of quality parts. Got it running but shifter linkage is frozen so that is next on the list. If I try to start it...just wants to go as it is in gear. Really dont have more time to put into it with family and two businesses. Looking to trade for something running/driving. Love rat rods and old stuff but could also use a good pickup truck.

So I have roughly 15-20K+ into it..probably more if I add it up. Ive realized I do not have the time or space to finish although I do not think it would take much. I would say this is quite a deal for someone who can finish it up. Everything is there but needs work.  Use it as rat rod!  

Open to bartering for something that is turn the key and go.  No projects.
 
The car has been outside for some time but has held up quite well. Does have some rust of course and some metal pitting along rear side windows. Also noticed a nice ding in hood/front valance but should be able to be banged out.

I found many receipts from the car:
Car - 4100 
motor - 5500
trans - 900
brakes (front disc, rear, lines) - 1250
suspension - 1865
rear - 600
extras (console, shifter, gauge install, GTO seats, starter, alternator, MSD, exhaust, headers) - 3040
paint supplies - 500
gauges - 960

Total is 18715... think i am going to be sick. Then add in GTO hood, front grill, transport, other items, etc. Has extra glass (many pieces) but no windshield anywhere.  You will need to get one.  Door glass installed as is rear hatch glass.  Side rear windows have glass but has to be reinstalled with new rubber.

So basically I am giving everything for free and selling you a motor. Ridiculous...

Woman Cleared In Fatal Car Wreck After GM Letter

Tue, Nov 25 2014

A Texas judge cleared a woman Monday for a car accident that killed her fiance in 2004, after General Motors acknowledged that her car would have been among millions being recalled for a problem that may have contributed to the death. Candice Anderson was driving a 2004 Saturn Ion when it suddenly veered off a road about 60 miles east of Dallas and slammed into a tree. Anderson, then 21, was severely injured when the car's air bags failed to deploy. Her 25-year-old fiance, Gene Erikson, who was a passenger, was killed. She later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the wreck. But during a hearing Monday, State District Judge Teresa Drum expunged the conviction from her record, according to officials in the Van Zandt County court andAnderson's attorney, Bob Hilliard. In a letter given to the court ahead of the hearing, an attorney for the automaker confirmed that Anderson's Saturn would have been among 2.6 million GM vehicles recalled in February to address ignition switches that can slip out of the "run" position, causing the engines to stall and disabling power steering, brakes and air bags. Anderson's crash "is one in which the recall condition may have caused or contributed to the frontal air bag non-deployment in the accident," attorney Richard C. Godfrey wrote. Hilliard provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press, and Godfrey confirmed its contents Monday. Anderson was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide because there was no clear explanation at the time why the wreck occurred, according to court documents from the case. She pleaded guilty to a letter charge in 2006, and was sentenced to five years' probation. She also was ordered to perform 260 hours of community service, pay court costs and cover the costs of Erikson's funeral. "GM knew this defect caused this death, yet instead of telling the truth watched silently as Candice was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter," Hilliard said Monday. "It took 10 years for GM to find its voice." In a separate statement issued by the company, GM said it "cooperated fully by providing technical information that was requested to make a decision in this matter." The carmaker also said the issue in Anderson's case was for local law enforcement and courts to consider. "That's why we took a neutral position on Ms. Anderson's case," the company's statement said. "It was appropriate for the court to determine the legal status of Ms.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe

Sat, Jun 11 2022

General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
