1966 Pontiac LeMans Engine/ Drivetrain: Original 326 engine was recently replaced with a factory correct 326 from a 1967 Lemans. Engine was reported to have driven 77K miles and still runs good, car was recently driven around with out incident or concern. Engine is equipped with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Edelbrock 4 Barrel 650 cfm Carburetor, and high output exhaust manifolds with functional side pipes. Original transmission shifts and drives as should with a minor leak near rear of trans. Transmission leak can only be seen after sitting for long periods of time when residue was seen on asphalt. Original radiator has been replaced with an oversized 4-row radiator. Also, distributor has been upgraded to a MSD. As original gauges begun to show signs of wear, aftermarket oil pressure and coolant temp gauges were installed along with an auto meter tachometer. Exterior/ Interior: Body is sold with very minor spots of rust in driver side door well and small spots near hood hinges. Small spots of surface rust can be seen in trunk bed, however trunk was replaced several years ago and still remains solid. Frame rails and body panels are solid as seen in attached pictures. All windows roll up and down as should. Car was repainted several years ago. Carpet and particular trim pieces have been replaced. Particular pieces of weather stripping and interior panel dressing has begun to come loose and should be replaced. Seats/ replaced headliner show some signs of wear as some tears/ holes can be seen. Also, vinyl roof has been replaced and is in good condition. Wheels have also been replaced with Cragar rims. Tires still remain with lots of tread left. Brakes: 4- Wheel drum brakes. Areas to be addressed: As car was recently driven it was found to be lacking in normal braking ability. The wheel cylinders have begun seeping and vehicle pulls to the right when coming to a stop. Car can be driven and stops, but will require further inspection and brake service to pass inspection which recently expired a month ago. Paint is overall good condition with one of two small scratches. Dent in hood can be seen in attached picture when an incorrectly installed air cleaner hit underside when closed. Not that noticeable but being honest. Car was purchased used 13 years ago and has been garaged kept and maintained away from snow/ rain. Car has been lightly driven in parades/ cruise nights. No long distance driving has really been done but car turns heads and is a joy to drive. Only selling because of new interests and needs for garage space. All sales are final and buyer assumes responsibility for shipping/ pick- up costs and arrangements. Thanks - Don ps…. The reserve is set at $6000.00. I am trying to be reasonable with the price, even though others are asking much more for their similar cars. I hope that the bidding might increase what I am asking as a minimum.
