     Welcome to our listing for a Great 1966 Pontiac LeMans Convertible. This LeMans was owned by the same person for over 30 years. After 30 years of ownership he decided to trade this desirable convertible on a C5 Corvette. This car has had good care and was always stored inside. Here is a Classic Convertible with Great History, that you have a chance to purchase at an affordable price.

     The engine is a 326 cu in V-8 and runs out super. After years of basically storage we decided that it could use some maintainence. We took the engine out and replaced the main seals and pan gasket. We also installed all new belts, new hoses, and a new fuel pump. To be safe we also replaced the thermostat and installed a fresh water pump. To make the LeMans run the way it was intended we gave it a "Tune-up" that included all new spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a distributor cap and rotor. It runs out GREAT! The transmission is a 2-speed powerglide that shifts properly. This Car really Drives Out Super!

     The color on this 1966 Pontiac LeMans is really eye catching especially with the black convertible top. The body is in really great condition, showing no signs of rust anywhere. The LeMans has been repainted at some point and certainly shows some wear from the years. There are minor scratches and minor dents (nothing major), it looks amazing from 10 feet away, but could use repainted to bring the LeMans to "Show Quality"! To say it in the easiest way this LeMans is of Great Driver Quality! In the underneath photos you will notice minor patch work in the lower rear inner wheel wells (nothing exterior we can see), this repair was done years ago and is the only sign of possible rust repair. The floors, rocker panels, underneath doors and gas tank area all look good. The only hickup we can find is the fuel guage only goes to 1/4 tank when completely full. We did replace the sending unit, so the flaw must be in the fuel guage.

     The interior has the bucket seat option with floor console and floor shift. We have already purchased a "New Carpet Kit" and "New Seat Cover Kit", these will come with the car. For comfort this LeMans Convertible has the air conditioning option and it is in proper working order.

     To bring this 1966 LeMans into the 21st century we installed 17" BOSS 338 GRAY Wheels and covered them with 245/45ZR17 Sumitomo tires. It looks much more modern than the 14" steel wheels with trim rings and baby moons that were on the LeMans when we traded for it. We still have the stockies and will include them in the sale.

     I have been in the Used Car Business for over 30 years and sold more than 100 Classic cars. You can trust my judgement and check my feedback, I will be honest about the car and do what I can to earn your business. This is a Great opportunity to own a classic 1966 Pontiac LeMans convertible, drive it the way it is, or restore it to your specifications. This LeMans would certainly make a Super GTO Clone candidate! For more information send a e-mail or better yet give Danny a call at CARSTORE 308-380-1040. Carstore is centrally located in the United States in Grand Island, Nebraska and we invite your inspection or a third party inspection. The 1966 Pontiac LeMans will be sold "As-Is" with no warranty expressed or implied. A non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of accepted offer, balance due within 7 days. Transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser. We will work with any shipper or meet you at a convient airport.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
