1964 Pontiac Lemans 2 Door Hardtop California Car on 2040-cars
Clovis, California, United States
|
This auction is for a 1964 Pontiac LeMans 2 door hardtop. It is an original California car still wearing its original Black and Yellow license plates. We have the original receipt from Bruin Motor Company in Los Angeles California dated April 4 1964 to the original owner for $3062. We have the original owner’s manual with Protecto plate. We found the build sheet under the rear seat. Car was built in Fremont CA.
I am listing this car for my son who has been restoring it for the past couple years.
Please read the following description:
Engine: It is powered by its original 326 cu.in.2 BBL V8. We have the receipt from march 2004 for a complete rebuild for a cost of over $4700. At present the motor has just under 24,500 miles. It starts, runs, and sound great with dual Flowmasters and new tail pipes. My son replaced the stock valve covers with Chrome GTO covers. The original fan was removed and thermostatically controlled electric fans were installed. Also has a pointless ignition installed under stock distributer cap.
Transmission: In Oct 2004 the original 2 speed automatic transmission was replaced with a rebuilt Turbo 350 (3 speed) at a cost of just under $1000. Installation was very professional with factory kick down cable. We have the original trans if wanted.
Mechanics: This car starts, runs and stops great. Has 4 wheel drum brakes that work great (non power). Power steering, and an updated chrome single wire alternator.
Body /Frame: In January 2005, the car was repainted “very close” to the original color. Paint is a Macco style job. Looks Fantastic from 20’ but is NOT show quality. For being 9 years old it has held up very well, with minimum dings scatches etc(but they are present). The frame / body is solid , dry, super clean, and rust free
Accessories: Stock Am radio non op. Has Oil pressure, Temp, and Amp auxiliary gauges installed under dash. All work, car runs cool, holds great oil pressure, and charging system is upgraded with single wire Alt. Gas gauge does not work. All lights work
Chrome: Bumpers look great. Rear bumper has little bow(see pics) Trim and stainless is good with some dings
Wheels and tires: The car has Pontiac Rally II wheels, 15” x 7” in rear, 15” x 6” in front. Tires are in good shape. We have the original 14” steel wheels with full wheel covers.
Interior: This is a bucket seat /console Lemans. My son just recently finished redoing almost the whole interior. New seat covers/foam front and rear, new carpet, new headliner, new package tray, arm rests, window cranks etc. It came out Xlint.
Glass: All Glass is good and windows roll up and down fine
Suspension: Car has had coils cut front and rear for a perfect hot rod stance. Still drives fine with no rubbing or shaking etc. Goes down the freeway at 70mph nicely.
CARS NEEDS: The following is next on the list to be done.
New door seals Fuel gauge fixed Original steering wheel is cracked New paint Horn in-op
Conclusion: This is a turn key Classic Pontiac that could be the basis for a GTO clone, or drive just as is. Our goal was first to make it reliable, and that we accomplished. We have lots and lots of receipts and old registrations to show this car spent its whole life in California. If you want a show car, this is not it. It you want a reliable classic that you would not be ashamed of at any Friday night cruise, then for the $$ this is the car for you
If you are seriously interested, please feel free to give my son a phone call with any questions you may have. You can reach him at 559-259-8069

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
