Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, United States

1966 Pontiac LeMans

Engine/ Drivetrain: Original 326 engine was recently replaced with a factory correct 326 from a 1967 Lemans. Engine was reported to have driven 77K miles and still runs good, car was recently driven around with out incident or concern. Engine is equipped with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Edelbrock 4 Barrel 650 cfm Carburetor, and high output exhaust manifolds with functional side pipes. Original transmission shifts and drives as should with a minor leak near rear of trans. Transmission leak can only be seen after sitting for long periods of time when residue was seen on asphalt. Original radiator has been replaced with an oversized 4-row radiator. Also, distributor has been upgraded to a MSD. As original gauges begun to show signs of wear, aftermarket oil pressure and coolant temp gauges were installed along with an auto meter tachometer. 

Exterior/ Interior:  Body is sold with very minor spots of rust in driver side door well and small spots near hood hinges. Small spots of surface rust can be seen in trunk bed, however trunk was replaced several years ago and still remains solid. Frame rails and body panels are solid as seen in attached pictures. All windows roll up and down as should. Car was repainted several years ago. Carpet and particular trim pieces have been replaced. Particular pieces of weather stripping and interior panel dressing has begun to come loose and should be replaced. Seats/ replaced headliner show some signs of wear as some tears/ holes can be seen. Also, vinyl roof has been replaced and is in good condition. Wheels have also been replaced with Cragar rims. Tires still remain with lots of tread left.

Brakes: 4- Wheel drum brakes. 

Areas to be addressed: As car was recently driven it was found to be lacking in normal braking ability. The wheel cylinders have begun seeping and vehicle pulls to the right when coming to a stop.  Car can be driven and stops, but will require further inspection and brake  service to pass inspection which recently expired a month ago. Paint is overall good condition with one of two small scratches. Dent in hood can be seen in attached picture when an incorrectly installed air cleaner hit underside when closed. Not that noticeable but being honest. 

Car was purchased used 13 years ago and has been garaged kept and maintained away from snow/ rain. Car has been lightly driven in parades/ cruise nights. No long distance driving has really been done but car turns heads and is a joy to drive. Only selling because of new interests and needs for garage space. 

All sales are final and buyer assumes responsibility for shipping/ pick- up costs and arrangements.    Thanks - Don

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
