Up for sale is a 1970 Pontiac LeMans someone started to turn into a GTO Judge Clone. They added the spoiler in the back and what looks to be an original GTO Ram Air Hood.

The original build sheet (which is included with the car) shows a 350 engine but the side of the car and air cleaner say 400 so I have no way to tell whether this is the original engine and transmission or not. I am not a mechanic and so I really don't know. It starts and runs (like a bat out of hell if you step on it) and the odometer has not changed from 22941 miles since I got it about 6 months ago. My friend who is a mechanic said he recommended a carb cleaning and/or rebuild and that the odometer/speedometer not working is probably a disconnected or broken cable (available on eBay for around $25). I was told the transmission is a 400 and it seems to shift fine through the gears. The car has Power Brakes, Power Steering, and was a factory AC car but the compressor has been removed.

I took the car to the antique car show at the Howard County Fair and it got lots of compliments. It sounds awesome with the nearly new dual exhaust and just exudes American Muscle.

The car does have some rust in the usual places like between the vinyl top trim and the body and the paint is bubbling and/or cracking in several places. I am sure this is an older restoration car that could use some touching up but I don't think it will take much to turn it into almost a show car. It's a nice driver as it is and someone could have a lot of fun with it. The trunk pan needs work where it meets the wheel well as that area has the worst see through rust. I have not had it on a lift but peeking under it, the car is not bad at all and she feels solid riding down the road.

This is a 43 year old car so it is not going to be perfect and you can expect that not everything will work nor will it look flawless. Please don't be a dreamer but approach the car with an open mind of what you get into with an older car but also how much fun it would be to have a muscle car like this. They are getting harder and harder to find in running and driving condition.

In fully restored condition, these cars are selling for upwards of $12K-$15K or more. In wrecked condition or needing total restoration they go for between $3 and $6K. At a $5000 Buy It Now price, you'll be hard pressed to find another one in as good of a condition and I paid more for it than I am selling it for but have no storage for the winter and don't want it left outside.

The headliner needs to be replaced (around $70 on eBay) as well as the front bench seat cover (around $100 on eBay). Other than that, the interior is actually in very nice shape with no cracks in the dash and the rear seat looks like it just came off the Baltimore GM Plant assembly line. The 8 track radio has been removed but you can put whatever you want in it's place. The horn does not work.

Brakes seem to work fine and the larger American Racing rims and tires on the back of the car sitting on the tall coil springs makes the car look pretty cool. She does leave a few drip spots on the driveway but nothing is pouring out of the car.

It has been a heck of a lot of fun playing with it the last couple months but I have no winter storage capability and just don't want to see the weather get to it. I'd like it to go to someone who will enjoy it even more than I have and maybe wants to tackle a real easy restoration over the winter months.

The LeMans includes two sets of keys, a reproduction original owner's manual, what's left of the deteriorating original build sheet, and a brand new Haynes repair manual.

There is no warranty expressed or implied with this car. There are no refunds or exchanges. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at time of auction close or when clicking "Buy it Now". I try to price my cars very reasonably.

The car is registered and insured and you are welcome to call me at 301.633.8116 to schedule a time convenient for both of us to meet to test drive the car.

I have worked with several shipping companies and can assist with getting a transport quote and getting it loaded onto a shipping carrier truck but all shipping costs are at the buyers expense and the car doesn't leave here until paid in full with cleared funds.

Someone will really enjoy this car! Thanks and good luck bidding!

Pontiac should come back as a performance division for GM

Thu, Apr 6 2017

For decades the Pontiac brand was known as GM's performance brand. From the 1964 Pontiac GTO, to the 1967 Firebird, to the 1984 Fiero, to the 2006 Solstice Turbo, and 2009 G8 GXP, Pontiac had a reputation for building exciting cars, with bold styling and performance to back it up. When the Camaro was killed off in 2002, the Pontiac Firebird died off with it, and the last Pontiacs were built in early 2010. But with names like G3, G4, and G6, Pontiac's performance image had long faded from it's earlier glory days. My idea for Pontiac's revival would be to bring it back as a dedicated performance marque similar to Chevy's Super Sport (SS) line up of years past. First, and most obvious would be to bring back the Pontiac Firebird. Offering the entry-level model with the Camaro's 275HP turbo 4 cylinder engine, then having the Camaro SS's 455HP V8, but also offering a halo model Trans Am that is a revamped Camaro ZL-1 along with it's tire-shredding 650HP, supercharged V8 and race tuned suspension. Secondly, I would bring back the GTO. Which I would base on the current Chevy SS, but I would use the full 455-horsepower LS4 V8 (rather than the 415-hp setup that it has now). Furthermore, I would add the impressive 650-hp supercharged V8 to provide real competition to the Charger Hellcat. Importantly, I would make sure that the new GTO had bold, distinctive styling that really set it apart. I understand that purists would want any Pontiac GTO to be a two-door coupe, but I think that they could forgive that if the new GTO was an outstanding American performance car. Next, I would take the Buick Cascada convertible, add much bolder styling, swap in the Camaro's 275-hp turbo engine, and tune up the suspension to provide more performance than luxury (without being harsh). And finally I would round out the line up by using the new 2018 Traverse , but use the new, bold Pontiac design language to spice up the model's looks, tweak the engines for more power, and again provide a performance suspension that matches the model's new sporty looks. Obviously, having a high performance Pontiac model line up would steal away some sales from Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac models. But I think that it would more than make up for this by also stealing away sales from competing brands.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If 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.
