1971 Pontiac Lemans Base 5.7l on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:80
Location:

Ontario, California, United States

Ontario, California, United States

i am selling what started as a project to clone it to a 70 gto but no longer have the time or money as i will be moving to frankfurt on the 30th, But the car will stay in my fathers garage until winner/buyer is able to pick up.

the title is clean, the original color was beige but i painted it at my college as a project back in early 2000s so the paint was not a good pro quality paint job and the body is straight with no major dents. only 3 inch dent and scuffs on the paint. 

car has AC vents, but no AC compressor system.

original mileage read on speedometer is 85,430 miles

it does not have the original 350 v8 pontiac block it came with, it has a chevy block 383 stroker engine, i bought the block and the shop built the 383 for me  and a turbo 400 transmission from TCI transmissions purchased from summit. Engine has headers, edelbrock 750cfm 4 barrel carb and edelbrock torker manifold and stock heads.the engine and tranny have not been broken in fully.. i would say it has had at least 80 miles on the rebuilt chevy block and the transmission is new so not even broken in fully. it was a stock column shift lemans but we added a b&m floor shifter. so its not original. the car runs great but if you want to race it or make faster i recommend you get an auburn differecial posi traction carrier with 3:55 rear gears or up to your liking. 
  
I am currently changing the oil gasket and filter and oil pump on the car as you can see by the pics the car is on ramps but as soon as its done, its ready to go to its new home. just needs tender love and care.. clone it to a gto or leave it lemans. 

i can send more pics upon request,  


buyer responsible for shipping or picking up. will hold until buyer can pick up.

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
