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. I was 3/4 of the way fixing her up when I was laid off. So I can’t finish it. But it doesn't need much now. But what has been done is the following. The motor has been professionally rebuilt by Jasper Motors with the emphasis on reliability and performance. A performance cam...Crane cam 454 lift and a 270 duration, so its not bad on gas but you can burn rubber. Also, the valve train has roller rockers and stud locks. Engine runs great, reliable and runs cool. I drive it daily, in traffic and on the freeway. It has a performance OVERDRIVE automatic transmission, 200R4 with a B&M shifter ..... At 80 miles an hour the engine is only turning 2400 RPM’s Great for Gas mileage, An older car but with a modern overdrive transmission to bring her into the new era of better engine life and MPG! The paint job was done about a year ago. and descent for what I could afford. There are a few nicks and scratches here and there but looks nice. Bushings replaced when the car was lowered and the rest of the suspension is nice and tight. NEW ! POWER Disc brakes installed up front , 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 instrument gauges, all work. The car has been lowered 2" . Tires up front are brand new. Rears have less than 2000 miles on them. The car has just been aligned. Brand new shocks. 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 great. Sounds like the 60's with the custom exhaust. __________________________________________________________________ Here’s what I would have done and or needs doing: Drive it as it is or... 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. 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. Turn signal 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.. 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. And also included in the auction... I have a red Chevelle (1968 A body) seat upholstery kit un-used that will come with the car ( front and rear seats and front and rear door panels, with side arm rest, conv. well covers and rear side panels...and a red carpet ) I got as a deal from a guy who never installed it in his car. I was going to install it in mine, but I never got around to it. So I will include it in the auction. Or you can just sell the red interior and get your own if you want. PAYMENT:Non Refundable Deposit of 500.00 due with in 24 hours paid via Paypal. And a balance to be paid by Cashiers check with in 7 days. 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. |

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation 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.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
