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! |

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
