Vehicle Detail

I'm going to begin with the only bad news on the car...there is no title. Again, car does not come with an actual title. But, car will come with 4 bills of sale back to the 1980's and a registration. Yes, the car is completely legal to drive.In the state of Washington, a title can be obtained after the car is inspected, VIN checked and after a 3 years waiting period. The VIN is clean. The car has been inspected by the Washington State highway patrol and passed. The car was then registered in June 2013. So, in June 2016, I will have a title. In the meantime the car can be registered and driven normally, just no paper title. The car can also be sold and the new owner can register it in his/her name and wait out the REMAINDER of the 3-year period IF they live in Washington. If not, some states with honor this so please check your state. Or you can obtain a title through a title company as the car is clean, not rebuilt, not salvaged and never altered... 1968 Pontiac LeMans 2 door hardtop. Completely original condition as it came from the factory. But the engine and transmission are not matching. They are however the same year and code as original.This is not a Sprint model, just the base OHC 1 bbl. It gets good gas mileage, always starts, stops and handles very well. The body is is excellent shape. I sanded the car to it's original Verdoro Green paint and found hardly any rust. There were dents here and there but no major collisions. All the body panels are original except the trunk lid and panel below the rear window which is a repro piece I installed due to rust there.The car never had a vinyl top. The trunk lid is off a GTO so there are no PONTIAC emblem holes. The lid is in real nice condition. The floors are in great shape and original as is the trunk floor. There is 2 small rust holes in the trunk floor and some rust scale but not severe at all. The frame is excellent: no rust or damage. The engine runs very well. It was rebuilt long ago. I recently had hardened exhaust valve seats installed. It runs very strong. The transmission is a Saginaw 3-speed and it doesnt make any noises, pop out of gear or grind. The car has manual drum brakes and manual steering. The brakes work very well. The steering is a bit stiff in parking lots but it does have wide tires on it. The car has an original AM/FM radio in it that works great. According to the PHS documents that I obtained and go with the car, it also had an 8-track player! But it was gone when I got the car. The steering wheel is wrong, I dont have the correct one. The interior needs a complete redo. The carpet is new. The factory clock sometimes works, but most of the time it does not. The horn and windshield washers don't work. everything else works. Overall, this is a great car for a full restoration,GTO clone, or to build up to your own liking. I understand that buying a car in primer is not wise. And I would probably be hesitant to bid on the car because "who knows whats under that primer?" But I will tell you in complete honesty, the is NOT a rust bucket or a hacked up, bondo filled automobile. Yes, there is body filler. but NO filler over rust or body panels 'formed' with bondo!! The body fits are very good. The car can be primed, blocked ONCE and painted and it will look beautiful. But if the new owner views the car before payment and doesnt like it, no problem. He/she will not be obligated to buy it, no questions asked! Any questions? Need more pics? No sweat, ask away! Set at very low reserve. On Oct-31-13 at 22:05:12 PDT, seller added the following information: To answer a few questions: The car was Verdoro Green originally, not yellow. There is yello in the door jambs as the car was painted yellow at one time. The jambs are not primed in epoxy like the body. I left them alone. They are multi-colored and ugly, but very rust and damage free. The car does not leak water in the cabin or the trunk Sorry, but I won't disclose the reserve. I will say the reserve is extremely realistic for a super solid, tight Lemans you could drive across the country. The car has not been restored in any way, sanded, primed, new carpet and trunk seal, clutch, brakes, thats about it. The wheels are "JC" coded rally II's behind the wheelcovers but not original to the car. The wheelcovers are original. If the new owner doesnt want the wheelcovers, I'd like to keep them. The rally II's go with the car but don't have trim rings or center caps Lastly, no, the car is not a powerhouse! It is, however a quite powerful engine for a six cylinder and the weight of the body. The rear is a 3.23 open
