1969 Pontiac Lemans/ Custom S Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:107000

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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

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.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
