This LeMans was owned by a Pontiac dealer who left it outside in western New Jersey.  I am the second owner so far as I know, and have owned it for well over ten years.  It is now stored indoors.  It blew oil smoke so I have had the engine rebuilt by a mechanic/machinist and he did a great job.  Car is currently in southern Delaware and was driven here last fall.  I drive it once or twice a month to keep it happy.  I started to get into the body work and it turned out to be more than my feeble expertise would permit.  It is a unit body car so the wheel wells and the quarter panels should be addressed by someone more knowledgeable than myself.  There are other minor issues of rust but even I could handle them so it is the lower quarters and rocker panels that concern me, see the pictures.  The interior is nice for the age, the driver seat could use some padding.  There are no power brakes, windows, air conditioning, cruise control or any other of the fancy stuff.  I believe the previous owner may have repainted the car at some point.  The car is bone stock as far as I can tell.  I have other projects that I must finish so this one needs to find a new home and somebody to care for it.  The car needs to be paid for in full before departing, cash is preferred but Paypal is available as well.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You 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.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
