Here is a chance to buy a great, original classic.  This 1966 Pontiac Lemans was purchased new in Honolulu, Hawaii, where its owner was stationed in the Navy.  From there, it went to a few different states on the mainland, ending up in Florida.  The original owner kept it until their exterminator bought it from them.  He told me he had it almost 10 years when I bought it from him.  It's pretty much original, except for one repaint.  The interior is 100% original !  Original seats, seat belts, steering wheel, carpet, headliner, door panels, dash, radio, visors, rear package tray...even the original keys!  Other than a hole the diameter of your little finger, the headliner is excellent.  The package tray needs replaced from sun damage, the radio turns on but doesn't make any noise, and all but the right rear power windows still work.  I never looked to see if it was the switch or the motor, but assume the worst and you won't be disappointed.  The factory power antenna still works.  It has all of it's original glass. It looks like all of it's original body panels. 

The car comes with all 5 of its original Rally 1 wheels.  I have 4 trim rings and center caps, but three of them don't want to stay on.  The original jack and hardware is in the trunk. The original owners manual and folder from Kapiolani Motors is still in the glove compartment, as is the original tire pressure decal.  I love stuff like that !

The car runs and drives incredibly.  It starts with one pump of the gas, idles immediately, and it accelerates smoothly.  The power steering is amazing in these old cars.  The power brakes work well, and the power booster was replaced earlier this year.  They stop the car effortlessly, but if you hit them really hard, they will pull a bit.  I'm sure its just an adjustment. For normal driving, they're great.  The headlight and taillights work, along with the brake lights and back up lights.  The horn and wipers work also.  You can fly in and drive this home without fear.  The engine has never been apart, and has only received normal maintenance items.  Water pump, hoses, tune up items, etc. were obviously changed, but the engine was never painted up, no aftermarket goodies added...just normal wear and tear items to keep it running well.  88,000 actual, original miles, and you'd never know it.

The 326 engine is quiet and powerful.  No crazy dual exhaust, no aftermarket intakes or carbs, just a great, original looking and running V-8.  The automatic transmission shifts like a new car.  Instant engagement, smooth and quiet operation, all operated through the factory console mounted shifter. 

 It's a time capsule waiting to be freshened up for its new owner.  If you wanted to make a GTO clone, it would be a great candidate. 

 It does have a few spots here and there, s you can see in the photos, but much less than the average I've seen in GTOs and other cars of that era. The trunk was patched with a thick piece of steel, and though rusty looking, you can stand on it.  It's very solid.

My description of this car is what you will say when you see it.  It's not a show car, and it's not a restored cruiser.  It's not a barn find since it was always registered.  It's a lightly used, well maintained classic Pontiac with the similiar good looks of the famous GTO, and could be someone's daily driver just as it sits.  It's an affordable antique that can be driven home and enjoyed, all while you fix up what you want. 

YOU CAN OWN THIS CAR FOR $10,900.  If you want to wait the auction out, the reserve price is a little bit lower than that.  If you don't want to wait, don't.  If you do, good luck...it just might save you some money.

Email me at northshorebill@aol.com, text or call me at 941-740-22seven seven, or contact me through ebay.  Don't hesitate if you want it.  No dreamers or time wasters, PLEASE.  It's a great car looking for a new home.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
