1969 Lemans Convertible W/ Overdrive Automatic, Great Driver Gto Clone on 2040-cars
Ventura, California, United States
|
Less than 2000 miles on rebuilt motor and overdrive transmission. ---- strong and reliable. Daily driven.
This is my a 1969 convertible Pontiac Lemans. It has a GTO Endura front bumper and tail lights installed. I was in the middle of fixing her up when I was laid off. So I can’t finish it. But what has been done is the following. The motor has been rebuilt with a performance cam...Crane cam 454 lift and a 270 duration, so its not bad on gas but you can burn rubber. It has a performance overdrive transmission with shift kit and best parts installed ( good up to 450 hp) ....200R4 with a B&M shifter. At 80 miles an hour the engine is only turning 2400 RPM’s Great for Gas mileage, Custom hood air intakes. New 4-row all aluminum radiator...with fan control. Bushings replaced and the rest of the suspension is nice and tight. Disc brakes up front installed, slotted and drilled. Break lines redone. Rear brakes rebuilt with less than 2000 miles on them. New fuel lines, pump and Gas tank plumbed for EFI if desired in the future. New AUTOGAGE instruments, all work. Tires up front are brand new. Rears have less than 2000 miles on them. The car has just been aligned. Brand new shocks. Lowering springs installed Hooker thick wall headers with 2.5 dual exhaust just installed. All glass is good/ Windows roll up and down. The car is mechanically a great car and I was then going to concentrate on the interior but then I got laid off. I wanted the car to be a great reliable driver first and that is what it is now. Drives and handles great. No rumbles, squeaks or rattles. Sounds great too. So I could not get to the other non mechanical stuff. But...(not in pictures) I did buy and will include a all red Chevelle(A body) seat upholstery kit front and rear and front and rear red door panels, with side arm rest, conv. well covers and side panels...and a red carpet to match. __________________________________________________________________ Here’s what I would have done and or needs doing: The convertible top canvas needs replacing( I have a replacement header bow that comes with the car). Also the top was working fine up until a week ago. Probably a fuse. I have not replaced it. So I just manually do it. The interior upholstery is dirty and has nicks and a tear on one of the seats. Carpet has been cut to install the shifter. I would replace it. Dash cracked from sun. No radio. Car has a few little little rust spots but not real noticeable. Some rust was in the wheel well arches but only around the inner lips and would be covered if you put the chrome molding back on. I liked the non chromed look so I took them off. In the trunk lower side panel on the left side has rust but not noticeable from outside vehicle ( panel can be replaced if you cared to) Drivers door lock sometimes doesn’t work. May need lubricating? I was inspecting it and that is why the door panel inside is missing. I didn’t put it back on cause I always intended to replace the interior. I through it out. Heater works but controls could be replaced as sliders need lubing. Turn signal cam unit in steering column needs replacing BUT I have a brand new unit to go in that comes with car. Easy install. The Endura bumper could be fitter better...the body to bumper gaps are a little wider than I would like, but it looks good overall. __________________________________________________________________ ALL THE HARD WORK IS DONE...you pick your interior for your own taste or drive as is. I tried to describe the car as best I can and with what I know. But I encourage buyers to ask as many questions as you have. Non Refundable Deposit of 500.00 due with in 24 hours paid via Paypal. I’m not a dealer so car is sold AS IS, no warranty implied or stated. Prefer you pick it up but I will ship it at owners expense. I know some shippers and the cost varies such as 600 dollars to 1500.00, maybe more depending on location. My zip code is 93001, Ventura, California. |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, 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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
