Please read description and study the pictures carefully. For auction is this 1968 Lemans sport coupe (post), 2 door. original 350 engine and automatic transmission.
This is a one owner car until 2012. originally bought in southern California and move to western Washington in 1994 when the original owner quit driving it and parked in his driveway. It sat there until 2012 when he looked at it, noticed how it had deteriorated and sold it. I bought it to restore and began disassembling it and realized it's too big a job for me. The trunk floor and rear shelf area have server rust. The area below the windshield is bad too. I have since sold parts off the car. It was a nicely optioned car with AC, bucket seats, console, etc. The car DOES NOT come with front seats, console or any underhood AC parts.
The engine runs very well. Does not burn oil. It has a very slight lifter tick, otherwise fine. The trans fluid is bright pink and works well. The floors are decent except the right rear and a few holes under the rear seat. The frame is in excellent condition. Never any accidents. I sold the front fenders, but comes with front wheel wells in good shape. Radiator is fairly new. The doors are both very nice. the quarters just need patches behind the wheels and a few minor dents removed. The trunk lid has some rust on the outer metal but the structure is fine. I drove this car all over last fall and on the freeway. It drove very well. No wandering or vibrations.
Though not pictured, car comes with the original hood, RH grill, and a section above the rear window I removed from a junk car for this car. Also, hood hinges, AC control panel included. And, (2) 14x7 rally II's. The two on the car are 14x6 and are included.The last pic is 2 rear shelf areas that I also cut from another car for this car. They are included.
I am selling with NO RESERVE and cheap. Mainly, I want someone to fix her back up, or make a fine race car out of her.If the car doesn't sell, I will remove the parts and junk it. The car is NOT running right now only because there is no battery. However, DOES RUN VERY WELL! The brakes are bad!! CAr rolls and steering just fine.
The steering column is from a 69, but included is a nice 68 floorshift column. Also, I have a very nice original FULL trunk floor with all bracings from a 68 I will sell fort additional 200.00.
Any questions??? Email me. Buyer pays shipping, but I will aid in loading car.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
