This is a great car, I get compliments every time I drive here. The prices of muscle cars have been soaring lately with people paying $5000 and up for cars that aren't even running. And I can see as where sometimes that might be a great starting point if you're going to do a frame-off restoration; however, most of us don't have the time or the money for that.
I'm selling my 1971 Pontiac LeMans with a reserve of less than that. The car is in good shape and I drive it whenever the weather is nice. The car is over 40 years old and hasn't had too much done to it in that time.
The car is amazing and you'll love it. I won't waste too much time going into detail on why it's so awesome but I will spend some time listing some of the things that add character.
Points of Interest
There are a few rust spots in the usually places.
The drivers side rear was hit while parked and fully repaired with new oem replacements parts; however, the paint is not a 100% match.
The windshield is cracked.
The leather bench is starting to split at some of the seems.
AC is there and has been converted, but I always rode with the windows down. It may need a charge or it may need more.
The 8 track was replaced with a cassette deck in the late 80's.
The leather at the c pillars is coming unglued.
2 tires will need replacing in 5000 or so miles.
The brakes need to be bled.
I would do a complete fluid flush, prior to driving her and great distances.
All in all a very solid and original car. I have done some minor upgrades:
New shocks
2 new tires
Bottom end rebuild
New aluminum intake
New distributor converted over from points
New Fan Clutch
New Gauge Cluster
New Thermostat
New radiator hoses
New Belts
New Battery
New Plugs/Wires
New Carb
New booster
New Grant Steering wheel
New Front-End Bushings/Polyurethane Suspension Kit
High Mileage Oil

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
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.
