A lady that works in my building came back to my office the other day and said "George, you fool with old cars don't you?" I said of course I do. She said well I have one I need to get rid of, it's been sitting in my garage (heated) since 1978. Both of her grown children had never seen the car move.
She then tells me it's a 1965 Pontiac LeMans Sport, her husband was going to restore it, he had it painted and the bumpers re-chromed then never did anything else to it. All the chrome, trim, lights and bumpers are still wrapped up with all the hardware in boxes. It's extremely nasty from sitting so long but it's in great shape, even the carpet.
I went to look at it and the engine turned over easily and it has absolutely zero rust, after looking it over she priced it (quite reasonably) so I took it. Got it home today and cleaned the fuel tank and put a new battery and some points in it and it fired right up. It has the two speed transmission which works fine and the brakes had been done before it was parked and they worked great. The car is 100% original down to the air cleaner.
The wheels in the pictures are just some rollers as the ones that were on it were rotten.
