1970 Pontiac Lemans - True American Muscle Car - Possible Gto Judge Clone on 2040-cars
Ellicott City, Maryland, United States
Up for sale is a 1970 Pontiac LeMans someone started to turn into a GTO Judge Clone. They added the spoiler in the back and what looks to be an original GTO Ram Air Hood. The original build sheet (which is included with the car) shows a 350 engine but the side of the car and air cleaner say 400 so I have no way to tell whether this is the original engine and transmission or not. I am not a mechanic and so I really don't know. It starts and runs (like a bat out of hell if you step on it) and the odometer has not changed from 22941 miles since I got it about 6 months ago. My friend who is a mechanic said he recommended a carb cleaning and/or rebuild and that the odometer/speedometer not working is probably a disconnected or broken cable (available on eBay for around $25). I was told the transmission is a 400 and it seems to shift fine through the gears. The car has Power Brakes, Power Steering, and was a factory AC car but the compressor has been removed. I took the car to the antique car show at the Howard County Fair and it got lots of compliments. It sounds awesome with the nearly new dual exhaust and just exudes American Muscle. The car does have some rust in the usual places like between the vinyl top trim and the body and the paint is bubbling and/or cracking in several places. I am sure this is an older restoration car that could use some touching up but I don't think it will take much to turn it into almost a show car. It's a nice driver as it is and someone could have a lot of fun with it. The trunk pan needs work where it meets the wheel well as that area has the worst see through rust. I have not had it on a lift but peeking under it, the car is not bad at all and she feels solid riding down the road. This is a 43 year old car so it is not going to be perfect and you can expect that not everything will work nor will it look flawless. Please don't be a dreamer but approach the car with an open mind of what you get into with an older car but also how much fun it would be to have a muscle car like this. They are getting harder and harder to find in running and driving condition. In fully restored condition, these cars are selling for upwards of $12K-$15K or more. In wrecked condition or needing total restoration they go for between $3 and $6K. At a $5000 Buy It Now price, you'll be hard pressed to find another one in as good of a condition and I paid more for it than I am selling it for but have no storage for the winter and don't want it left outside. The headliner needs to be replaced (around $70 on eBay) as well as the front bench seat cover (around $100 on eBay). Other than that, the interior is actually in very nice shape with no cracks in the dash and the rear seat looks like it just came off the Baltimore GM Plant assembly line. The 8 track radio has been removed but you can put whatever you want in it's place. The horn does not work. Brakes seem to work fine and the larger American Racing rims and tires on the back of the car sitting on the tall coil springs makes the car look pretty cool. She does leave a few drip spots on the driveway but nothing is pouring out of the car. It has been a heck of a lot of fun playing with it the last couple months but I have no winter storage capability and just don't want to see the weather get to it. I'd like it to go to someone who will enjoy it even more than I have and maybe wants to tackle a real easy restoration over the winter months. The LeMans includes two sets of keys, a reproduction original owner's manual, what's left of the deteriorating original build sheet, and a brand new Haynes repair manual. There is no warranty expressed or implied with this car. There are no refunds or exchanges. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at time of auction close or when clicking "Buy it Now". I try to price my cars very reasonably. The car is registered and insured and you are welcome to call me at 301.633.8116 to schedule a time convenient for both of us to meet to test drive the car. I have worked with several shipping companies and can assist with getting a transport quote and getting it loaded onto a shipping carrier truck but all shipping costs are at the buyers expense and the car doesn't leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. Someone will really enjoy this car! Thanks and good luck bidding! |

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package
Sun, Dec 22 2019Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
