1964 Pontiac Le Mans Convertible With Gto Badging on 2040-cars

1964 Pontiac Le Mans with GTO badging This is a great example of the beginning of the Muscle Car generation! A great car you can get in, turn the key and drive off in. Mechanically, there is nothing wrong with this vehicle - it starts and runs just as its supposed to, and sounds just like a true muscle car is supposed to sound! In the ten years we've owned this car, we haven't done anything to the cosmetics to refurbish or restore the car beyond its current condition. However, as you can see from the photographs, the car looks beautiful and the interior is almost 95% original with the original vinyl seats. The only thing I know is not original are the two kick panels with speakers. The radio in the dash is original, however the guts were removed and replaced with a solid state chassis and mated to an XM tuner in the glove compartment. The car is 51 years old and probably drives just as it did when new (which is not what you'ld expect if you've never driven a car from the sixties era). We have done regular maintenance on this car and when necessary, we've replaced mechanical components that needed repair or replacement including rebuilding the automatic transmission approximately five years ago and replacing most of the suspension components about three years ago. The car has GTO badging on the body outside and inside the doors and dash as well as a tri-power carburetor set up on the original 326 V-8 engine. The mileage is showing 54,107 and I believe that may be accurate - before we owned this car it sat on blocks in someone's garage in St. Louis, MO. We brought it to dry El Paso, TX where its been driven perhaps twice a month and stored in a garage 100% of the time. The car is insured for "stated value" and the insurance company placed a $25,000 value on the car. We are willing to see it sell for substantially less, but we're not going to give it away. If you have a question about where our reserve might be, or wish to make an offer for an early sale, write us. The car is also listed locally and we reserve the right to cancel this listing early if the car is sold locally. If you are the successful buyer, you will need to paypal a $500.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours and pay the balance within 3 business days via wire transfer or cashier check. If the final payment is by cashier check, we will hold up delivery of the car until our bank has assured us the check (even cashier checks) has cleared. You are responsible for arranging shipping on this car, but we're happy to help in the process by making the car available for pick up whenever necessary. But, please don't arrange to pick up the car until we have assured you that all funds have cleared. The title is a clear Texas title and we will deliver the signed title and any documents necessary for you to transfer title in your state. For shipping purposes the car is located in the 79912 zip code. |

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.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When 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.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
