1964 Pontiac Lemans Convertible 326 Automatic '64 Gto Tempest on 2040-cars
|
You're bidding on my 1964 Pontiac Lemans convertible. It has a 326 v-8 with an automatic transmission (column shift). This was a barn find that I purchased several years ago, hoping to restore it, but it has been sitting in my driveway since I've had it as I've done nothing to it. It is a factory Saddle Bronze color with a Saddle interior and Black top. The car appears to be complete as you can tell in the pictures, but it does have some significant rust in the floors, trunk floor, lower fenders, quarter panels and doors. The doors sag and rub the front edge of the quarter panels. There are some areas in the frame that have some rust-thru as well. The right front tie rod sleeve is broken so the R/F tire does not steer. It has the taillight assemblies and the gas filler door trim that still has the handle on it. The power top pump, cylinders, hoses & switch are still in place. I have the keys to it, but I've never tried to turn the engine over. This would make a great parts car with the complete convertible trim pieces and interior panels, or it could be restored or cloned into a GTO convertible, with extensive work. Although the ad says there is a salvage title, I do not have a title for this car. The guy I bought it from promised me a clear title but I never got it. The auction does not include the two 15" Rally II wheels - they will be replaced with roller tires & wheels. Please ask any questions before bidding. If you would like pictures of specific areas, provide me with your email address and I can forward them to you. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements & costs. A $500 non-refundable PayPal payment is due from the winning bidder within 48 hours after the auction ends. The remainder is to either be paid in cash at the time of pick-up or by certified bank check, but the car will not leave my premises until my bank has assured me that the funds have been safely deposited.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile
Thu, Mar 26 2015So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."
