1971 Pontiac Lemans Le Mans Sport + Many Extras on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States

About the car:
2-door hardtop, Pontiac 350 CID, TH350 transmission, power steering & brakes, A/C (not hooked up), body in primer. Sport model means it has bucket seats, floor shifter, luxury interior, etc… I bought this car approx. 10 yrs ago from a friend who did bodywork. He replaced both rear quarters with new sheetmetal, primered the body, ready for paint. Some lady eventually hit the car on the driver’s side, causing damage: right fender – small dent; driver fender, door, rocker panel, B-pillar and quarter panel – damaged; front control arm(s) – bent from hitting the curb. Technically runs & drives, but realistically the steering is goofy with the bent control arm(s), and the door doesn’t latch shut because of the bent B-pillar, so it’s a small project car that could quickly become a daily driver. The good: - Car is overall in good condition. Some surface rust like you would normally see in various places, but nothing that can’t be brushed/sanded & painted. - Brown interior is in overall great condition with some wear due to the age – dash and headliner are original and pretty much like new; door panels are like new, but vinyl on handles have cracks; center console is great, just needs compartment lid; passenger seat is like new, except for 1 small tear (rest of seats probably need re-upholstered); interior carpet has some wear in driver area and stain in back seat, but is otherwise in great condition. - Engine runs great, transmission shifts perfect - Very solid original car The bad: - Obviously, the damage from the accident - Driver & rear seats have tears (mentioned above) - Some son of a b1t5h tried to break into the trunk and popped the lock out, but was too stupid to figure out how to open it afterwards. The metal around the tumbler and edges got bent, but should hopefully be fixable decently easily. Many new parts come with the car: Replacement parts that I bought due to the damage: - Driver’s side door – rust-free door off of an AZ or TX car (already hung) - Rocker panel – new from Original Parts Group - Quarter panel – new from Original Parts Group - Upper & lower control arms + disc brake assemblies & booster (to upgrade from drums) off of a 69 GTO, I believe, but I’m not sure Upgrades already done: - Powertrax performance locker (rear-end) - Intake manifold off of a ’67 Pontiac 350, I believe - Modified glass packs (nice deep bass sounds awesome) - Rear suspension: springs have been replaced with heavy duty truck springs for tighter ride (may have originals laying around, but these are perfect) - Ignition: points system has been replaced with HEI Upgrade parts not yet installed: - Hellwig sway bar - Energy Suspension polyurethane control arm bushings - B&M Stage 1 & 2 shift kit - Moog matched set front coil springs - Federal Mogul upper ball joints - Federal Mogul lower ball joints - Federal Mogul inner & outer tie rods complete kits - Federal Mogul idler arm - 4 BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires 255/60R15 (2) + 235/60R14 (2) on chrome Progressive rims – all brand new + other miscellaneous hardware, trim badging, etc... I don't have the time to take on this project, and I need to make room in the garage, so my loss is your gain. Over $4,000 in parts & extras alone, reserve is set low so I can move it. This auction is for everything listed here. Local pick-up welcome, buyer responsible for any/all shipping fees. |

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.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
