Up for auction is a wrecked, rolling shell of a 1969 Lemans 2 door hardtop. Was a floor shift automatic with buckets and console.This car is mostly parted out as you can see in the pictures. I was going to scrap it but when I pulled the carpet and saw the floors I thought someone might be able to use them, would be a shame to scrap it. The only non-sheet metal parts left are the gas tank, driveshaft, windshield, rear window and exhaust. The exhaust consists of dual straight pipes with cherry bomb mufflers. Sounded great before I pulled the engine. The driver side tail pipe is bent from the accident. The windshield and rear window glass is good, no cracks and is tinted. No other glass is included. Both doors are already sold. The chassis is complete and is 4 wheel drum. The frame is bent in the rear from the accident but is very solid. It could probably be fixed fairly easily. The rear is open, 10 bolt. I don't know the ratio. I looked for the markings on the tubes and didn't see any. The floors are rock solid, all original. The rusted places seen in the pictures are surface rust, no weak places that I could see. The trunk floor and inner/outer rear wheel wells are very nice as well except where the trunk pan is bent from the rear ender. There is one patched place.[about 4"X4"] on the passenger side toe board [shown in the last picture]. That is the only patch I can see on any of the floors, passenger area or trunk. These floors are original, never painted [other than factory overspray], as they were from the factory so there is nothing covered up. What you see is what you get. As you can see the trunk lid and driver's rear quarter are toast. The passenger rear quarter looks pretty straight but does have some bondo in it. The front fenders are useable but also have bondo where the hood meets them and at the bottom, where they all rust. The hood is rusted in the underside framing near the windshield and has holes drilled from hood pins. The area under the windshield at the cowl vents unfortunately has the usual rust-thru [2nd to last pict.]. I am starting the auction at $550 which is what I figure I can get if I continue to piece it out and scrap the body. What you see in the pictures is what you get. No parts will be taken off the car while the auction is running. This car rolls easily but has no steering and no brakes. The title is clear and open, VIN plate and body tag are in place. Any questions, please ask. I can take more pictures of any areas of concern, just let me know. Buyer to pay in full within 5 days of auction ending. $250 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending. Thanks for looking, Bill

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh

Tue, Jan 31 2017

The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
