for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:

Up for auction is my rare white 1978 Pontiac Le Mans coupe with a small block Chevy 350 engine and many performance modifications. Please note ALL modifications and maintenance were performed by professional certified mechanics/shops who specialize in classic GM restoration. Fun and unique car to drive! In good driving condition, could even be used as a daily driver if you choose to. Runs well!
The Modifications/Upgrades:
-replaced original motor with used small block Chevy 350, resealed the block
-Edelbrock 600 CFM 4-Barrel Carburetor w/ Electric Choke
-Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake Manifold
-Custom Camshaft (very mild/streetable - no loping)
-Inline Fuel Filter
Exhaust: TRUE DUAL EXHAUST - Hooker Long Tube Headers (1 5/8) into collectors, into dual (2.5 inch) Magnaflow Hi-Flow catalytic converters into dual (2.5 inch) Magnaflow Mufflers, exiting out of Magnaflow slash cut exhaust tips. Nice throaty rumble, but never obnoxious sounding, even at full throttle.
-Accel 8mm High-Temp Super Stock Ignition Wires (Blue)
-Custom Ignition Kill Switch Installed
-Summit Racing Chrome Open Element Air Cleaner with K&N Filter
-Polished Silver Valve Covers
-Edelbrock Breather (Chrome)

-Monroe Sensatrac Shocks
-Authentic Pontiac Rally Wheels w/ Beauty Rings & Pontiac logo inserts wrapped in Kumho 215/70/14 tires (good tread left)
-Upgraded Gauge Cluster: Taken from Pontiac Grand Prix. Gauges upgraded to include new speedometer, tachometer, oil, temp, water, and fuel. Gauge Face/Pad also upgraded to wooden style.Original gauges had only speedometer and fuel, the rest were dummy lights and there was no tachometer. Please note, the original gauge clusters (2) and original gauge face/pad will be included with the sale of the car if you prefer that look.
Stereo: Aftermarket Sony Receiver with CD Player & MP3. Comes with functional remote control. Sony Speakers in dash pad, custom installation in both door panels (by bottom), and in rear dash. MTX Thunder Amplifier mounted in trunk. Excellent clear, clean sound, and loud when you want it!
-Custom fog lights installed
-Replaced base model side mirrors with Sport mirrors
Recently Done:
-New Battery (11/14)
Performed this month: Spent over $1000 in repairs to ready the car for sale!
-Rewired Kill Switch - works flawlessly (and added great security).
-Rewired Headlights (replaced fusible links at starter for lamp feeds)
Brakes: Fabrication of Completely NEW Brake Lines. Replaced both front brake calipers, brake hoses, wheel cylinders. (ALL NEW PARTS) Bled the system.
-New Oil & Filter Change (10w40)
Included with sale:
-Original Owner's Manual issued by Pontiac on date of purchase
-Original Gauge Cluster (2 pieces)
-Original Gauge Face/Pad
-Original Pontiac Emblem trunk lock cover
-NEW: Accel High Performance Cap & Rotor
-NEW: Accel Super Stock Hi-Temp 8mm Ignition Wires (Yellow) Note: Nothing wrong with wires on motor, was just going to change up the color (I leave the choice up to you - sell the wires if you prefer the Blue)
-Some original rubber trim pieces
-Spare Tire
-2 metal wheel ramps
Mileage: I believe the mileage on the car to be accurate in the vicinity of 103K. The original speedometer mileage reads approximately 95K (included with sale), and since switching the gauge cluster, I only accumulated about 8000 miles since owning it. I did not have the odometer of new cluster changed for accuracy, so please be aware of that. I want to be straight forward & honest so there are no surpises.
The LeMans was the sister car to the very popular Chevy Malibu. The late 70's/early 80's Malibu's are extremely popular for restoration as well as racing. I always liked the idea of having the lesser known (but equally capable) LeMans instead of the Malibu. It is considerably more rare than all the Malibu's of this generation. People are always telling me they never see these on the road anymore and that they love how I muscularized it. It is certainly most unique.
The car is available to be picked up in New Jersey. If you would like to tow or ship it, then it is up to you to organize and arrange it. I will gladly assist in making sure the car is picked up once you give me all the details. As with all vintage cars, there is no warranty of any kind on this vehicle. I have tried to be as accurate and detailed as possible describing the condition of this car. I have a clean title on this vehicle and will be included with bill of sale.
Deposit of $1000 is due via PayPal within 48 hours of purchase. Remainder of payment will be cash (if picking up car yourself) or Cashier's Check (if shipping the car). The car will not be shipped until the check has cleared into my account.
Thanks for looking!
