1965 lemans convertible project car .. I started this project as a frame off to build a black /red show car .I had the car and frame completely sand blased ,the frame is in excellent condition .. it has front disc brake conversion done , it has a 355 safe t trac rear with rear sway bar I revoved the body and had all metal work done ,including new rear quarters , all parts are there to put back together ,.. glass ,wiring ,dash ,gauges ,bumpers brackets, etc.basically the car is ready to go to body shop to sand and paint the color of your choice.... I have purchased many cars over the years. but when I disassembled them to build them ,I usually found many surprises ,and in several cases ,I chose to junk the cars instead of trying to put way too much money into a rusty project. if you restore cars ,you know what I mean , this woud make a fantastic resto rod or GTO clone ,or custom ,I have always felt that the 65 lemans /GTO was the best looking ones ever produced!! I have a 66 389 motor that needs a rebuild to put in ,I have a 200R overdrive automatic ,... I have quite a few GTO parts available should you wish to do a tribute convertible...I also have a complete 455 aluminum head roller motor ., new ,never run ,which I will offer to purchaser of car for less than I have in motor (not a part of this auction ,but offered separetely) I now have an expanding family and elderly parents I must dedicate my time to ,so I am reluctantly selling my project as I am realizing I will never have time to complete... I have over $16,000 in receipts for work done not counting what I did , the hard work is done .., I am basically looking to get what I paid for car to begin with ...any questions ,call 727 460 7505

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
