1969 Pontiac Lemans/ Custom S Convertible on 2040-cars
Boulder City, Nevada, United States
|
This gorgeous convertible is a single year model car that was marketed between a LeMans & Tempest in 1969. There were only 2,379 convertibles built. This car was featured in the 2nd Jurassic Park movie (The Lost World) ) and was shown driving around San Diego with Jeff Goldblum and Juliann Moore, being chased by the T-rex. The car was painted red for that movie. I purchased the car from my father in law in 2000 after he retired from the movie car business. In 2009 I spent the entire year doing a complete body on restoration and spared no expense, almost everything was replaced or rebuilt except for the motor. It had been done before I got the car. I also had a (Donor Car) that I took many parts off of that where in better condition. The car was driven through a movie set wall in the movie and had some damage to the sheet metal under the radiator. During the project I removed the luggage rack and installed a GTO hood.This is a rust free California car and a car show winner. I won Top Pick Award in 2010. This is for the top 25 cars out of over 300 in show. This car runs, looks and drives like new and is a real head turner. I have the complete parts list and restoration progress pic's available upon request. The car has been in a climate controlled garage with a cover on it and has only 800 miles since it was completed. It's never even been washed only wiped down. I have the original factory build sheet that I found on top off the fuel tank when I dropped the tank for cleaning. I don't know how to confirm, but to the best of my knowledge, knowing most of the history of the car, it has the original engine and transmission but both have been gone through in the past. I might be interested in a partial trade for a late model mid sized luxury sedan such as a Volkswagen CC, Passat or BMW etc.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
