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

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say 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.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
