I bought this car in the first week of June,2003.Started taking the car apart the same week,my first job was to remove all of the paint on the car.I took the paint off the old way,with industrial strength paint remover and a  paint brush ,rubber gloves and razorblades.The car's body was in fairly good shape except for a few rust spots around the rear passenger's side wheel well and the tail lights.My friend Tim Robbins did all the body work,cut out all
the rust spots and replaced them with new sheet metal.I bought a new hood,new front driver's side fender and a new rear bumper for the car.We worked on this car everyday [except sunday] for three months.Tim had over 600 hrs in the bodywork alone.By the middle of August we had the car ready for paint.The car was painted in Solar Red,a factory 1968 color,three base coats,three coats of clear.Replaced the 400 engine with a 455 engine out of a
72 pontiac,put the correct code 16 heads[350 hp heads] on the engine along with a 7qt oil pan.Rebuilt the 455 engine in 20008,bored the block 30 over,bought a set of Keith Black pistons from Butler Performance in Tennessee,also put a set of aluminum roller rockers from Doug Herbert Performance Center.Put a set of disc brakes from Stainless Steel Brakes in the front and replaced all the bushing in the front end and gave the car a front end alinement ,did this in 2010.In 2011 bought a set of original 1968 hood scoops,had the back plates removed and installed a ram air kit from Ames Performance,along with dual electric fans from flex-a-lite.In 2012 had all the glass replaced from Auto City Classic,INC out of MN.Everything on this car has been replaced or been rebuilt.This is not a show car or trailer queen.I drive this car to a lot of cruise- ins and car shows.I would classify this car as a high end driver.This car had 18,000 miles on the speedometer when I bought it, it has 25,000 miles now,less than 3,000 miles since motor was rebuilt .This car has always been garaged and well maintained.You wouldn't find a 
nicer 68 goat around, matching numbers or not. If you have any questions place call me, the seller has my number.Thanks for looking
The flaws are depicted in pictures 2-7. The mileage has been rolled over once and is the mileage for the replacement engine. I have more pictures but could only list 24 here. Please message me for interior pics.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan

Tue, Feb 7 2017

During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It 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.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
