1968 Pontiac Lemans on 2040-cars
Tacoma, Washington, United States
I'm going to begin with the only bad news on the car...there is no title. Again, car does not come with an actual title. But, car will come with 4 bills of sale back to the 1980's and a registration. Yes, the car is completely legal to drive.In the state of Washington, a title can be obtained after the car is inspected, VIN checked and after a 3 years waiting period. The VIN is clean. The car has been inspected by the Washington State highway patrol and passed. The car was then registered in June 2013. So, in June 2016, I will have a title. In the meantime the car can be registered and driven normally, just no paper title. The car can also be sold and the new owner can register it in his/her name and wait out the REMAINDER of the 3-year period IF they live in Washington. If not, some states with honor this so please check your state. Or you can obtain a title through a title company as the car is clean, not rebuilt, not salvaged and never altered...
1968 Pontiac LeMans 2 door hardtop. Completely original condition as it came from the factory. But the engine and transmission are not matching. They are however the same year and code as original.This is not a Sprint model, just the base OHC 1 bbl. It gets good gas mileage, always starts, stops and handles very well. The body is is excellent shape. I sanded the car to it's original Verdoro Green paint and found hardly any rust. There were dents here and there but no major collisions. All the body panels are original except the trunk lid and panel below the rear window which is a repro piece I installed due to rust there.The car never had a vinyl top. The trunk lid is off a GTO so there are no PONTIAC emblem holes. The lid is in real nice condition. The floors are in great shape and original as is the trunk floor. There is 2 small rust holes in the trunk floor and some rust scale but not severe at all. The frame is excellent: no rust or damage. The engine runs very well. It was rebuilt long ago. I recently had hardened exhaust valve seats installed. It runs very strong. The transmission is a Saginaw 3-speed and it doesnt make any noises, pop out of gear or grind. The car has manual drum brakes and manual steering. The brakes work very well. The steering is a bit stiff in parking lots but it does have wide tires on it. The car has an original AM/FM radio in it that works great. According to the PHS documents that I obtained and go with the car, it also had an 8-track player! But it was gone when I got the car. The steering wheel is wrong, I dont have the correct one. The interior needs a complete redo. The carpet is new. The factory clock sometimes works, but most of the time it does not. The horn and windshield washers don't work. everything else works. Overall, this is a great car for a full restoration,GTO clone, or to build up to your own liking. I understand that buying a car in primer is not wise. And I would probably be hesitant to bid on the car because "who knows whats under that primer?" But I will tell you in complete honesty, the is NOT a rust bucket or a hacked up, bondo filled automobile. Yes, there is body filler. but NO filler over rust or body panels 'formed' with bondo!! The body fits are very good. The car can be primed, blocked ONCE and painted and it will look beautiful. But if the new owner views the car before payment and doesnt like it, no problem. He/she will not be obligated to buy it, no questions asked! Any questions? Need more pics? No sweat, ask away! Set at very low reserve. |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
