Why would someone spend all that time and money for something like that, then when you open the hood it looks like sh|t ? :confused:

quicksilver97ta 11-13-2007 01:02 PM

:gag: Poor car. Why do you do that, and then try to sell it? If you do that I guess you like it, but then why sell it?
Me and my 70 need a hug right now. Actually we need that decklid emblem too. :rolleyes:

hfalzx7 11-13-2007 01:55 PM

My brochure must have been missing the page with those options, SH**
!!! I really would have like the headrest emblem.
My car is trembling right about now....

Eww.
 
I agree. These people shouldn't be allowed to do this to such high prestine cars. I can understand a Cadillac CTS or a Nissan Altima, but NOT a LeMans. I can even see mine shed a tear from the headlights. I understand putting in a factory Hurst Dual-Gate shifter from the '67 & '68 GTO's into them, using a GTO interior kit, a factory original color although not original paint. Wannabe Chip Foose. He knows what he's doing, as well as making a car look good, but this has GOT TO GO. Whoever restored this car should have to drive the Hello Kitty Car <http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/07/the-ultimate-kei-mitsubishi-i-hello-kitty-princess-kitty-edit/> for such cruelty on OUR cars.

What are you guys talking about, that is SWEET!!!











..The perfect theft deterrent!

P.S. I didn't know TONKA made Pontiac

66goat_boy 11-13-2007 08:31 PM

I love it

Tempest T-37 11-13-2007 09:11 PM

Ouch...
 
...it hurts to look at. I wonder if it has whistle tips? LOL

But seriously though..... my Tempest just barfed up her lunch:eek: , its a shame they didn't do that to a four door malibu;) would haved saved us all a tums

SteveGB21 11-13-2007 09:16 PM

I do like the paint job. Really looks great (the red color). But the purple wasn't too appealing. 22" wheels with that customized system didn't look too good. Chip Foose from Overhaulin makes his cars look nice, as well as not modifing the dash & console too much. That, and why didn't they "PIMP OUT" the engine compartment? Instead of paying over $2500 on those wheels, as well as the $1500 tricked out sound system, these people could have made the car MUCH nicer looking or upgrading the motor or more of a customized hotrod, not a "PIMPmobile". Do agree with kaysersuzuki on saying what he did.

JLHarper 11-13-2007 10:36 PM

If the right buyer sees it it will sell "better" then a regular ole 70 Lemans of comp quality would sell for.

Thats the sad truth.

We are getting old and this is a new generation. Its good for the hobby. A new market.

There is a USED CAR LOT in Durham, NC that is selling these cars as fast as he can slap the 22's on them.

SteveGB21 11-13-2007 11:20 PM

What DONK means.
 
What it means: Don't Offer No Kustom ugly wheels on a LeMans or any A-body for that matter. It's OK on an Impala or Bonneville.

You guy's seriously need to get out of the house more often.I totally agree the car looks awful.Usually the brother's do what they did to that Pontiac to Old's Cutlass's.They love the 68 to 72's.Specially the Convertible's or what they like to call drop top's.Where can I get me one of those and does anyone know where the closest mud bog race is ?

well you can get a 71 2dr htp cutlass here and i'd rather see it on a blazer or scout chassis than with a rigged up abortion like that lemans has under it.

i knew better than to open this thread again, the trash can's looking awful full for the second time today as the memory of that car has resurfaced.

You know that poor car is embarrassed. Nothing to be proud of there. Its a clown car.

He should be put away for life wearing a straight jacket. Some people just do not have any taste or common sense. :confused:

Whadda mean? The engine is the only part I can handle looking at.

Forrest 11-14-2007 12:07 PM

Ya know, the interior kind reminds me of what they put in the new ski/pleasure boats, doesn't it?

:D yep, you took the words right out of my mouth

A.W.Dille 11-15-2007 12:30 AM

My question is do I puke now or later?

1971WARBIRD 11-15-2007 02:44 AM

8,000 starting bid.even if you win it for that,how much would it cost before you would be caught driving it?

74 SD455 Formula 11-15-2007 07:12 AM

Ok,
You want worse? There's a 65 Catalina on E-Bay auction right now ( and NO it's not mine ) with 22" wheels and if thats not bad enough the guy went ahead and put in a fuel injected small block Chevy with a 6 spd manual.
Why ruin decent Pontiac's!!!!!

2manyIndians 11-15-2007 12:01 PM

I bet he can get the starter out without much problem!!!

marksking 11-15-2007 03:13 PM

Dayum, someone took my color scheme.

SteveGB21 11-15-2007 06:58 PM

Saw the '65 Catalina.
 
Some of these people must be color blind or just born in a box or crayons. That '65 Catalina just was disgusting as well. I could have seen a '78 Impala, '78 Bonneville, '78 Delta 88, or a'78 LeSabre ('71-on B-bodies were bulky cruisers, and those are OK, not the pre '71 B-Bodies). To ridicule this car also, see it at <http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965-Custom-Rebuilt-Pontaic-Catalina_W0QQitemZ140178774121QQihZ004QQcategoryZ6 418QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem> .
