Hi everyone! I am so pleased to offer my 1966 Pontiac LeMans Sprint for sale!
This was rare car then and even more so now since so many Sprint have been turned into GTO clones. In fact there were WAY more GTO than Sprint from the factory even!
What an interesting car it was!! This was the trim level directly below the GTO and above the LeMans and was the brainchild of John DeLorean. There are a couple great articles here if you would like to read in depth: Since Ebay doesnt like links just Google overheadcammerschapter OHC 6 or ateupwithmotor.com pontiac-ohc-six-history. Both great articles on the Pontiac OHC engine. This was an incredibly European style motor and the really the first mass produced American OHC engine since the Jeep Tornado wasn't really a noteworthy model in terms of sales. This particular car is a original engine, numbers matching Sprint model too! The stock OHC6 was given a smaller carb - the Sprint was given a massive 4bbl Quadrajet carb that made 207hp and 228ftlbs of torque. This car gets WAY more attention then any GTO at the car shows. When is the last time you saw a GTO? When is the last (or only time for younger guys) you saw a Sprint?? Enough with the stats of all of the cars - more about THIS car. This was true "barn find" car. It was owned by a little old lady for over 40 years in Southern California. It was babied by her and left with 99% original interior with the only exceptions being aftermarket rear speakers from the 80's. The car was taken off the road in 1989 and left alone until 2010 when it was bought from the family after the lady had passed away but another gentleman in Southern CA. His intention was to make a GTO but never got around to digging in, so it sat again. I purchased the car and did an entire refresh from top to bottom while preserving as much originality as possible, with a couple minor exceptions as discussed below. Exterior: Brand NEW: -PPG Omni paint in Stratford white. It is a pure white with a very minor touch of blue and black that really bring out the arctic color of the white. This was a stock GM color for 1966, but not the original color for the car. The original color was Barrier Blue, with a blue interior with blue factory wheels. Sorry, it was just too much blue for me! The paint shines very very nice and looks great. There are few minor dust marks and almost microscopic inclusions. I give it a solid 9 out of 10. -All body work was done in metal and where minor filler for blocking was needed only Rage Extreme was used (an incredibly high quality filler). -Car is straight and totally rust free -Sprint Stripe! This stripe originally only came in white, red or black. I had a company reproduce this stripe in its exact size and proportion but in blue to set off the factory blue wheels and interior and give tribute to the original Barrier Blue paint. -Rocker panel chrome trim -Rear view mirror Original: -98% original metal! Some minor repair done on the trunk floor using OEM repo metal. -Trim!!! All of the trim with a few minor exceptions is totally original and just polished or rechromed to a high degree. Only exceptions on the trim are the tail light eyebrows, rocker panel trim and the Sprint and Lemans trunk badge and hood arrow. All other trim is 100% original and in fantastic shape!!! It has all been removed and meticulously polished, rechromed and painted (where needed) -The car even has the original hubcaps, wheel well trim and bumpers! -Solid and rust free floors, body, trunk, etc! Interior Original: -Everything except the rear speakers!!! -Original seatbelts, seats, headliner, windlace, dash, dash pad (no cracks and so soft still!!!), radio, glove box, steering wheel, dome lights (all the dome lights and map lights and dash lights work!), original glass, original door panels, hand cranks and even ignition! -Original CA emissions book in the glovebox still!! -Some very minor pitting on some of the chrome and a couple chips in the dash and window sill paint, but I left it because its too original to touch! -Brand new antenna set up to the radio, but I have not tested the radio or speakers. I dont listen them, so I never bothered to run speaker wire back. Radio gets power though, so I assume it works, but it is the AM version only. Brand New: Nothing!!! It's all factory and in wonderful shape!! Engine/Drivetrain Brand New: -Plugs -Wires -Points -Rear Main Seal -Rebuilt Quadrajet carb -Re-cored radiator - kept the original Harrison end tanks and got a fresh core so looks original! -Heater core - pain in the rear project is done! -Battery -NOS Fuel Pump -hard to find! -Intake and exhaust manifold gaskets -Trans fluid/engine oil -Engine runs like a dream and has only been babied! It has been very gently driven and cruised around in probably never seen over 2500rpm (remember that redline in these were much higher than the non-OHC. Sprint: 6500+ redline, compared to the 4000rpm or so on the non OHC.) Generally the car has been driven right in the sweet spot of 2000-2500rpm. Lots of torque from down low, an effortless car to drive! -Trans is Pontiac's Super Turbine 350 (Similar to the Powerglide) and VERY rare for the Sprint -Fresh engine paint -New Hood insulation with OEM style clips Original -Engine! -Everything but what has been listed above is original - although it appears the starter could have been replaced at some point. -Air cleaner and its lid are original - the cleaner lid had some nice patina to the chrome so it was left that way to keep some originality to the fresh painted engine. -Engine has a minor drip coming from the pan. I believe it just needs an extra crank of the pan bolts, which I havent gotten to, but likely will before the delivery of the car. Suspension/Brakes/Tires Brand New -KYB shocks and bushings -Brake shoes -Brake wheel cylinders -Brake hardware -4 brand new (little mold fingers still on them new) tires -All of the tie rod ends, ball joints and center link points are TIGHT. -Steering box is TIGHT! It steers like a dream!!!!! Miscellaneous Brand New: -Gas cap -Door locks -Trunk lock -OEM style Trunk mat -Weatherstripping for the doors, windows and trunk Original -Blue spare wheel -Bumper jack -Tire iron -Jack tie down -I don't like the LeMans louvers that go on the front fenders much so I left them off. But a beautiful set of original louvers are included if you would like to put them. -Comes with some old receipts from the 80's before the car was taken off the road. The list goes on of little things, so please feel to reach out with any questions!!! Happy bidding!!!!!!!!! |

Junkyard Gem: 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE Convertible
Sun, Mar 5 2023For the entire 24-year production run of the GM J platform (best known for the Chevrolet Cavalier), the Pontiac Division offered new J-Body cars for sale in the United States. First there was the J2000, followed in quick succession by the 2000, 2000 Sunbird and Sunbird. The Sunbird stuck around until the Cavalier got a major redesign for the 1995 model year, at which point Pontiac changed the car's name to Sunfire. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those early Sunfires, a top-of-the-line SE convertible with the optional big engine and manual transmission. The Sunfire was an extremely close sibling to the same-year Cavalier (by the late 1980s, all the other US-market GM divisions had dropped their J-cars, which meant no more Skyhawks, Cimarrons or Firenzas), quite difficult to distinguish from its near-twin at a glance. The base engine for the 1997 Sunfire convertible was the pushrod 2.2-liter straight-four that powered so many J-bodies of the 1990s. That engine produced just 120 gnashing, valve-floating horsepower, not much by late-1990s standards. For a mere 450 additional dollars, however, the 2.4-liter Twin Cam engine and its high-revving 150 horses could be had by '97 Sunfire buyers. That's what's in this car. This is one of the members of the Oldsmobile Quad 4 family, though some fanatics will yell at you if you apply that name to the versions that don't have big QUAD 4 lettering cast into the valve cover. This is the most powerful engine ever used in production Sunfires. For 1997, Pontiac offered a four-speed automatic transmission for no extra cost in the Sunfire convertible. Buyers of all other Sunfire models that year had to shell out either $550 or $810 ($1,026 or $1,511 in 2023 dollars) for a two-pedal rig. That means that the buyer of this car really wanted the five-speed manual transmission (or just hungered for the $810 credit offered in the fine print for takers of the manual). Plenty of free-breathing engine power, five-on-the-floor driving enjoyment and the open skies above. What a fun car! This one made it to nearly 180,000 miles. For this car with the Quad 4 under the hood and a clutch pedal on the floor, the MSRP was $18,539 (about $34,584 today). Its Cavalier LS convertible twin with the same engine/transmission setup cost $17,365 ($32,394 now). This car has a bunch of options, including the 15" Rally aluminum wheels, so the out-the-door price would have been higher. The last year for the Sunfire was 2005, same as the Cavalier.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
