 1971 Pontiac Lemans...350 motor, automatic, I think a 2 barrel carb. Honest people here with 100% feedback on well over 400 transactions. Won't take too much to get this one up and running because although it has been parked at our house what seems like forever, a few years back my sons tinkered with it and fired it up and drove it around the neighborhood for a while.

We are not car collectors, classic car finders or have anything to do with working on cars. Following is a history of what we know about the car in case you are interested.

In 1994we were renting a house we owned out to an older couple that was in San Bernardino, Ca. One month they were short on money for rent and said they were going to sell this 71 Lemans anyway and would I take it instead of rent. I did not need the car, or want it, but did have a  69 GTO in my youth and although this was no GTO,  I liked  the Pontiac front end look and I took it anyway just to have a third car around for my wife and I. So I registered it and we drove it occasionally while our other cars were  in the shop, etc. Over the next few years when our kids hit Junior high and thought it was a cool car, I added a paint job, used 15 inch tires and rims, and had a shop put station wagon springs in it to jack up the back a bit. That's it. Figured as my kids got older one of them would want this car, but that never happened and I have held it long enough, as now the same kids are into their 30's and the car has just been sitting. The car came to me running fine with I think around 97k miles. It now has 103 k. So that's about how much I drove it in  23 years, mainly years ago taking the kids to school, store, etc. I have never taken it on long trips, etc. and as I said, when I parked it, it ran fine, just got tired of insuring a 3rd car and kids have all moved out.

About the car now.....If you are interested...factor in this....I am easy to deal with and if you want to see the car prior to a bid, just call me and come by and check it out. 951-two zero two-73eighttwo... I have nothing to hide, want whoever gets it to be happy. It IS NOT important to me to just sell this car, somebody needs to want it and be happy with their purchase. Whether you drive it, clean it, fix it up and resell, I don't care, but I just need to know that you knew the truth going into the deal.

It sat outside under a tree so there are tree dropping spots on the top, hood, trunk. The sides don't look too bad, but paint was done, probably mid 90's. 3 tires still hold air, 1 doesn't. I fill it up when I want to move it around our rv parking area. We push it, not start it up. Battery went years ago. The rear bumper is rusty, the front end still looks way cool. Interior, no headliner, 1 major hole in driver seat, need rubber lining around windows, but for the most part there and actually not looking that bad, as I have seen some older cars that are just totally torn back. The trunk keyhole is gone, so I just pop a screwdriver in the whole to open the trunk. There is what appears to be the original bumper jack, that I have used, and I think 3 of the original hubcaps are in the trunk. We try to post a lot of pics, but I know I won't describe everything and you may not see it in the pics, so please email me with ???'s and feel free to call for that matter. Like I said few years ago when I told my sons I was going to get it out of here, they came over, messed a bit with it, fired it up and ran it around here, then parked it and went on with their lives, which is cool, but we are tired of looking at it and not going to save it for our grandkids that may want it in like 10 more years or more.

It has a perfectly clean title and is and has been on legal California non-operation status. Because it is a 1971 it does not need smog . The last year that I had it registered and was driving it around was 2003. It has air conditioning and AM radio, I do not remember if either of those were working so lets go with not working. I seem to remember power steering, no door locks or power seats.I'm sure Im forgetting plenty so please email or ask. Thank you and bid with confidence. You can always keep it on non-op until you are ready to drive. That doesn't cost me anything every year. This car is for sale locally, so this auction is subject to end at any time, HOWEVER, if there is any bid in on the car we would of course not end the auction or sell it locally, but it would go to the Ebay high bidder.If you are high bidder for this LeMans, you are responsible for removing it from our property, within 7 days of auction close, hopefully sooner. We will work with you, but please don't bid on this and then leave it here. We want it out.  It is parked on concrete in our sideyard and we have 12 foot gates so getting to it is pretty easy. I cannot help with loading, pushing or anything. PLEASE only bid if you have the finances to complete this auction.  Paypal is fine or cash on pickup will work too after the initial $200 deposit...any questions email me or call...Thanks for looking!!!

GM's got 107 problems and NHTSA's No. 1

Thu, Mar 6 2014

General Motors' problems with its recall of roughly 1.6-million vehicles continue to mount. Now that it has emerged that GM knew about the problem since at least 2004 but waited to recall vehicles until February 2014, regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have begun a much deeper investigation. NHTSA has sent a 27-page survey to GM that includes 107 questions about the timeline of what led up to the recall, and it has until April 3 to reply. This isn't a simple, multiple-choice test. Automotive News believes that hundreds of pages could be required to answer some of the queries. NHTSA says that it is still investigating GM's response to the recall. "We are a data-driven organization, and we will take whatever action is appropriate based on where our findings lead us," said NHTSA in a statement on its website. If found liable, the automaker could face a fine as high as $35 million and even possible criminal charges, according to Bloomberg. NHTSA's questions include a detailed explanation of GM's examination process; how it will improve the process; why a planned redesign of the cars' key in 2005 wasn't implemented; and specific data on each complaint it received. According to Bloomberg, NHTSA also has records that show the company had a meeting with regulators to discuss the airbag failure in a Chevrolet Cobalt in 2007. New GM CEO Mary Barra has also hired an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation about what happened. It will include questioning company employees who were involved with the process from the start. The recall stems from faulty ignition switches that shut off the car while driving, and if it occurs the airbags deactivate. Thirteen deaths and 23 crashes have been caused by the problem, according to Bloomberg. If you would like to peruse NHTSA's entire questionnaire for GM, it can be viewed here.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
