1965 lemans convertible project car .. I started this project as a frame off to build a black /red show car .I had the car and frame completely sand blased ,the frame is in excellent condition .. it has front disc brake conversion done , it has a 355 safe t trac rear with rear sway bar I revoved the body and had all metal work done ,including new rear quarters , all parts are there to put back together ,.. glass ,wiring ,dash ,gauges ,bumpers brackets, etc.basically the car is ready to go to body shop to sand and paint the color of your choice.... I have purchased many cars over the years. but when I disassembled them to build them ,I usually found many surprises ,and in several cases ,I chose to junk the cars instead of trying to put way too much money into a rusty project. if you restore cars ,you know what I mean , this woud make a fantastic resto rod or GTO clone ,or custom ,I have always felt that the 65 lemans /GTO was the best looking ones ever produced!! I have a 66 389 motor that needs a rebuild to put in ,I have a 200R overdrive automatic ,... I have quite a few GTO parts available should you wish to do a tribute convertible...I also have a complete 455 aluminum head roller motor ., new ,never run ,which I will offer to purchaser of car for less than I have in motor (not a part of this auction ,but offered separetely) I now have an expanding family and elderly parents I must dedicate my time to ,so I am reluctantly selling my project as I am realizing I will never have time to complete... I have over $16,000 in receipts for work done not counting what I did , the hard work is done .., I am basically looking to get what I paid for car to begin with ...any questions ,call 727 460 7505

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.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
