Here is a chance to buy a great, original classic. This 1966 Pontiac Lemans was purchased new in Honolulu, Hawaii, where its owner was stationed in the Navy. From there, it went to a few different states on the mainland, ending up in Florida. The original owner kept it until their exterminator bought it from them. He told me he had it almost 10 years when I bought it from him. It's pretty much original, except for one repaint. The interior is 100% original ! Original seats, seat belts, steering wheel, carpet, headliner, door panels, dash, radio, visors, rear package tray...even the original keys! Other than a hole the diameter of your little finger, the headliner is excellent. The package tray needs replaced from sun damage, the radio turns on but doesn't make any noise, and all but the right rear power windows still work. I never looked to see if it was the switch or the motor, but assume the worst and you won't be disappointed. The factory power antenna still works. It has all of it's original glass. It looks like all of it's original body panels. The car comes with all 5 of its original Rally 1 wheels. I have 4 trim rings and center caps, but three of them don't want to stay on. The original jack and hardware is in the trunk. The original owners manual and folder from Kapiolani Motors is still in the glove compartment, as is the original tire pressure decal. I love stuff like that ! The car runs and drives incredibly. It starts with one pump of the gas, idles immediately, and it accelerates smoothly. The power steering is amazing in these old cars. The power brakes work well, and the power booster was replaced earlier this year. They stop the car effortlessly, but if you hit them really hard, they will pull a bit. I'm sure its just an adjustment. For normal driving, they're great. The headlight and taillights work, along with the brake lights and back up lights. The horn and wipers work also. You can fly in and drive this home without fear. The engine has never been apart, and has only received normal maintenance items. Water pump, hoses, tune up items, etc. were obviously changed, but the engine was never painted up, no aftermarket goodies added...just normal wear and tear items to keep it running well. 88,000 actual, original miles, and you'd never know it. The 326 engine is quiet and powerful. No crazy dual exhaust, no aftermarket intakes or carbs, just a great, original looking and running V-8. The automatic transmission shifts like a new car. Instant engagement, smooth and quiet operation, all operated through the factory console mounted shifter. It's a time capsule waiting to be freshened up for its new owner. If you wanted to make a GTO clone, it would be a great candidate. It does have a few spots here and there, s you can see in the photos, but much less than the average I've seen in GTOs and other cars of that era. The trunk was patched with a thick piece of steel, and though rusty looking, you can stand on it. It's very solid. My description of this car is what you will say when you see it. It's not a show car, and it's not a restored cruiser. It's not a barn find since it was always registered. It's a lightly used, well maintained classic Pontiac with the similiar good looks of the famous GTO, and could be someone's daily driver just as it sits. It's an affordable antique that can be driven home and enjoyed, all while you fix up what you want. YOU CAN OWN THIS CAR FOR $10,900. If you want to wait the auction out, the reserve price is a little bit lower than that. If you don't want to wait, don't. If you do, good luck...it just might save you some money.

It's a great car looking for a new home.
