1965 Pontiac Gto Convertible Phs Documented Factory 389 4 Speed Project Car Rare on 2040-cars
Boca Raton, Florida, United States
For your consideration here is a very rare and true 1965 Pontiac Lemans GTO Convertible (PHS Documented) originally equipped with a 389 WT block (4bbl), 4 speed car, original Montero Red with Black Top and Black Interior. This GTO was last registered in the State of New York in 1984. Although, she may be far from her glory days this 1965 GTO Convertible is well worth saving, it will need an extensive restoration from the ground up. The original 389 WT block is long gone and the previous owner placed a later model 400cid Pontiac motor in it. The Muncie transmission is still in the car as well. The original rear axle has been changed out many years ago as well to a 10 bolt. The 400cid motor is not locked up and will run with some maintenance. However, a True 1965 WS code 9778789 389cid/360hp tri-power block is included with the sale of this GTO and is for the most part complete, original Delco Distributor, timing cover, balancer and crank pulley. It will need to be completely rebuilt and gone through as it has not been used for many decades. The WS block passenger cylinder head is marked 093 which would indicate a replacement and the Driver's head is a 77. The Tri-power intake is pretty much complete including Fuel lines with weather head, correct Rochester 2G's and the rare vacuum components, diaphragm, Vacuum slider, check valve and hoses. This too will need to go under a complete restoration. The GTO has most of its trim, and some extras in the trunk. There is rust throughout the GTO on many panels, floorboards, trunk, box braces, firewall and dash areas. The convertible rack is complete and appears to be in decent shape. The frame appears to be solid with no apparent signs of rot or damage. The incorrect bucket seats seen in the photos will be removed and replaced with correct buckets seen below. So, if you're ready to restore one of Pontiacs finest cars produced, here is your opportunity in 2014! I imagine there are hardly any documented 389/4speed 65 GTO's left waiting to be restored this day in age. The sale of this 1965 GTO Convertible will come with a clear Florida Certificate of Title. Should you have any questions regarding the GTO, please do not hesitate to ask. Best of luck to all and Happy Bidding!

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan
Tue, Feb 7 2017During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.

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.
GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect
Tue, Apr 1 2014General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.
