1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport 5.7l on 2040-cars
Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States
|
71 Pontiac Lemans Sport. Original 350 4bbl. Was a console automatic, but was professionally converted to a Muncie 4 speed with a Hayes clutch and Hurst "Quick Throw" shifter. Starts and runs very strong. No leaks. Shifts perfectly. Full new dual exhaust including Hooker headers. Just tuned up including oil change, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and coil. A blast to drive! Car has Power steering, manual brakes and originally had air conditioning (all A/C parts come with car, but are not currently installed). Original color is Oxford White (repainted once), with black interior and black vinyl roof. The body is very straight as you can see by the pictures. There is no typical rust in quarters, the trunk and framerails are as solid as day 1. This car has been in the dry southwest its entire life. Both doors close solidly and do not hang. Car has never been wrecked. I added the GTO rear spoiler and GT-37 reflective stripe for curb appeal. The bumpers are straight and chrome is excellent with no pitting. Tires have over half tread and are in great shape. Black vinyl top is new! NOS front grilles and taillights! Interior is almost perfect. It has new carpet, shifter, shifter boot, reupholstered seats, and new headliner. The door panels are great originals with no cracks or fading. Seats move back and forth perfectly and seat back mechanisms all work along with all front and rear seatbelts. New windshield and back glass. All side glass moves up and down great! New dash mat. New pkg tray. This car looks and runs great but is not perfect. The dash is cracked (but has new dash cover), dash has been precut by previous owner for aftermarket stereo (I did not bother installing one since I'd rather listen to the engine), gas guage inop, kick panels were cut for speakers. The paint is very nice but does have scratches here and there that have been touched up, so from 10ft, it looks great, but to make it a true show car, you will need to detail and maybe repaint somewhere down the road. For now, this is a fun musclecar to drive and enjoy and not worry if someone leans against it at the drive in, which is the way musclecars were meant to be. If this were a show queen it would be in the $20k range, but my reserve is slightly less than a third of that! I have tried to include anything I can think of, but if you have any questions, please call Greg 505-463-5829 lv msg, I will call back. PS: car has clear title in my name. |

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
