Clovis, California, United States
This auction is for a 1964 Pontiac LeMans 2 door hardtop. It is an original California car still wearing its original Black and Yellow license plates. We have the original receipt from Bruin Motor Company in Los Angeles California dated April 4 1964 to the original owner for $3062. We have the original owner’s manual with Protecto plate. We found the build sheet under the rear seat. Car was built in Fremont CA.
I am listing this car for my son who has been restoring it for the past couple years.
Please read the following description:
Engine: It is powered by its original 326 cu.in.2 BBL V8. We have the receipt from march 2004 for a complete rebuild for a cost of over $4700. At present the motor has just under 24,500 miles. It starts, runs, and sound great with dual Flowmasters and new tail pipes. My son replaced the stock valve covers with Chrome GTO covers. The original fan was removed and thermostatically controlled electric fans were installed. Also has a pointless ignition installed under stock distributer cap.
Transmission: In Oct 2004 the original 2 speed automatic transmission was replaced with a rebuilt Turbo 350 (3 speed) at a cost of just under $1000. Installation was very professional with factory kick down cable. We have the original trans if wanted.
Mechanics: This car starts, runs and stops great. Has 4 wheel drum brakes that work great (non power). Power steering, and an updated chrome single wire alternator.
Body /Frame: In January 2005, the car was repainted “very close” to the original color. Paint is a Macco style job. Looks Fantastic from 20’ but is NOT show quality. For being 9 years old it has held up very well, with minimum dings scatches etc(but they are present). The frame / body is solid , dry, super clean, and rust free
Accessories: Stock Am radio non op. Has Oil pressure, Temp, and Amp auxiliary gauges installed under dash. All work, car runs cool, holds great oil pressure, and charging system is upgraded with single wire Alt. Gas gauge does not work. All lights work
Chrome: Bumpers look great. Rear bumper has little bow(see pics) Trim and stainless is good with some dings
Wheels and tires: The car has Pontiac Rally II wheels, 15” x 7” in rear, 15” x 6” in front. Tires are in good shape. We have the original 14” steel wheels with full wheel covers.
Interior: This is a bucket seat /console Lemans. My son just recently finished redoing almost the whole interior. New seat covers/foam front and rear, new carpet, new headliner, new package tray, arm rests, window cranks etc. It came out Xlint.
Glass: All Glass is good and windows roll up and down fine
Suspension: Car has had coils cut front and rear for a perfect hot rod stance. Still drives fine with no rubbing or shaking etc. Goes down the freeway at 70mph nicely.
CARS NEEDS: The following is next on the list to be done.
New door seals Fuel gauge fixed Original steering wheel is cracked New paint Horn in-op
Conclusion: This is a turn key Classic Pontiac that could be the basis for a GTO clone, or drive just as is. Our goal was first to make it reliable, and that we accomplished. We have lots and lots of receipts and old registrations to show this car spent its whole life in California. If you want a show car, this is not it. It you want a reliable classic that you would not be ashamed of at any Friday night cruise, then for the $$ this is the car for you

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
