1971 Pontiac Lemans 350 Great Project Car on 2040-cars
Rialto, California, United States
1971 Pontiac Lemans...350 motor, automatic, I think a 2 barrel carb. Honest people here with 100% feedback on well over 400 transactions. Won't take too much to get this one up and running because although it has been parked at our house what seems like forever, a few years back my sons tinkered with it and fired it up and drove it around the neighborhood for a while. We are not car collectors, classic car finders or have anything to do with working on cars. Following is a history of what we know about the car in case you are interested. In 1994we were renting a house we owned out to an older couple that was in San Bernardino, Ca. One month they were short on money for rent and said they were going to sell this 71 Lemans anyway and would I take it instead of rent. I did not need the car, or want it, but did have a 69 GTO in my youth and although this was no GTO, I liked the Pontiac front end look and I took it anyway just to have a third car around for my wife and I. So I registered it and we drove it occasionally while our other cars were in the shop, etc. Over the next few years when our kids hit Junior high and thought it was a cool car, I added a paint job, used 15 inch tires and rims, and had a shop put station wagon springs in it to jack up the back a bit. That's it. Figured as my kids got older one of them would want this car, but that never happened and I have held it long enough, as now the same kids are into their 30's and the car has just been sitting. The car came to me running fine with I think around 97k miles. It now has 103 k. So that's about how much I drove it in 23 years, mainly years ago taking the kids to school, store, etc. I have never taken it on long trips, etc. and as I said, when I parked it, it ran fine, just got tired of insuring a 3rd car and kids have all moved out. About the car now.....If you are interested...factor in this....I am easy to deal with and if you want to see the car prior to a bid, just call me and come by and check it out. 951-two zero two-73eighttwo... I have nothing to hide, want whoever gets it to be happy. It IS NOT important to me to just sell this car, somebody needs to want it and be happy with their purchase. Whether you drive it, clean it, fix it up and resell, I don't care, but I just need to know that you knew the truth going into the deal. It sat outside under a tree so there are tree dropping spots on the top, hood, trunk. The sides don't look too bad, but paint was done, probably mid 90's. 3 tires still hold air, 1 doesn't. I fill it up when I want to move it around our rv parking area. We push it, not start it up. Battery went years ago. The rear bumper is rusty, the front end still looks way cool. Interior, no headliner, 1 major hole in driver seat, need rubber lining around windows, but for the most part there and actually not looking that bad, as I have seen some older cars that are just totally torn back. The trunk keyhole is gone, so I just pop a screwdriver in the whole to open the trunk. There is what appears to be the original bumper jack, that I have used, and I think 3 of the original hubcaps are in the trunk. We try to post a lot of pics, but I know I won't describe everything and you may not see it in the pics, so please email me with ???'s and feel free to call for that matter. Like I said few years ago when I told my sons I was going to get it out of here, they came over, messed a bit with it, fired it up and ran it around here, then parked it and went on with their lives, which is cool, but we are tired of looking at it and not going to save it for our grandkids that may want it in like 10 more years or more. It has a perfectly clean title and is and has been on legal California non-operation status. Because it is a 1971 it does not need smog . The last year that I had it registered and was driving it around was 2003. It has air conditioning and AM radio, I do not remember if either of those were working so lets go with not working. I seem to remember power steering, no door locks or power seats.I'm sure Im forgetting plenty so please email or ask. Thank you and bid with confidence. You can always keep it on non-op until you are ready to drive. That doesn't cost me anything every year. This car is for sale locally, so this auction is subject to end at any time, HOWEVER, if there is any bid in on the car we would of course not end the auction or sell it locally, but it would go to the Ebay high bidder.If you are high bidder for this LeMans, you are responsible for removing it from our property, within 7 days of auction close, hopefully sooner. We will work with you, but please don't bid on this and then leave it here. We want it out. It is parked on concrete in our sideyard and we have 12 foot gates so getting to it is pretty easy. I cannot help with loading, pushing or anything. PLEASE only bid if you have the finances to complete this auction. Paypal is fine or cash on pickup will work too after the initial $200 deposit...any questions email me or call...Thanks for looking!!!

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season
Thu, Dec 9 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
