1978 Pontiac Le Mans Description

Relisting Car.

Car has never seen snow. The car sat inside pretty much its whole life. Absolutely no rust or rust repair. The car has 5,399 actual miles on the odometer. I purchased from grandson, locally know, but title shows exempt in Indiana for the year.Clear Indiana title in my name registered and plated.Chassis work wasstarted by prior owner and doneby Randy Craig in New Buffalo Michigan on Jig approximately 8 years ago. He was one of the best in the area. He has since retired. His quality is outstanding. All items and this build are new and completed during the past 3 years. 350 SBC bored .060, 2 bolt main, all ARP, eagle rotating assembly, Edelbrock 64cc heads, Victor Jr. air gap intake, 750 Proform Race carburetor, all MSD Ignition, Lunati Drag Race camshaft part # 30120919 3,800 to 7,200 RPM, 292 int./302 exh, 0.550 int./0.571 exh, Hooker headers, realistically estimating 500 HP however not on dyno, based off of Hot Rod, Car Craft articles, and other professional references. Rebuilt TH400 34 element sprag, red clutches, B&M 3,500 stall nitrous converter, also have rebuilt Coan 5,000 stall converter, rebuilt by Coan, reverse manual valve body, trans brake, line lock. Aluminum radiator, electric fan, trans cooler with fan, painless wiring harness, 12 pt cage with slide out door bars, front tubular upper control arms, sway bar is removed, 12 bolt 4.88, C-clip eliminator, fully adjustable ladder bar, QAI coil overs with QAI double adjustable shocks, Hoosier slicks 31-18.5-15 and Mickey Thompson street/strip tires 29-18-15, Mickey Thompson front runners, Weld wheels, Lizard Skin paint on floor and fire wall, absolutely straight body, black base coat, clear coat, cut in on door jambs trunk, engine compartment, etc, currently in Eastwood 2 part epoxy primer, most items SFI certified with 2 years remaining. I have all window trim, door lock, etc. ready to install once painted. Right rear tailamp is repaired will need replaced or repaired. I have three others to pull parts from for repair. Car is street strip, runs consistent 11.80's, with me cutting not so good reaction times. Car has been used very little and roughly 20 race passes. There are so many new high quality - high performance parts and items I have not listed. Only the best. I have new MSD 2 step not installed. This car runs and drives great and straight on the street. The suspension is dialed in and launches straight on the strip as you can see in the video. The car is ready for paint. Will need block sanding, priming, wet sanding, etc. Panel alignment is really good, many hours spent of doors and fender alignment during reassembly. Car is not perfect as pictures can be deceiving. However this car is in what I call in great condition for a drag car able to drive on the street. It is a what I consider a quality build with a lot of time spent with attention to detail and planing the build. The rear inside deck and wheel tub carpet are only glued to the deck and draped over the wheel tubs. I do have a complete floor carpet set that could be pieced together. No custom carpet for rear area. Black paint is pealing off of fuel cell. Dash fuel gauge is not hooked up, needed fuel isolator. Missing passenger seat cover. Im trying to be honest as I can be. Feel free to ask questions. You can view short, not professional videos on You Tube search Chris DeLee

As I stated pictures can be deceiving, these show the cars primer better than it is. This is primer sealer not paint, rat rod, or flat matte color. It does look good from 10 foot but up close you can tell its primer - no sheen - its dull, etc. Engine has Scorpion roller 1.7 rockers and stud girdle.I will add items as I think of them.I can also be reached at 219-363-9472 leave message or text. Or home phone 219-575-7770.I will respond within timely manner.

I will provide some additional information for numerous question I have received.

First of all this is not a 9 second car. This is quality/consistent weekend drag car or a really fun occasional use street car. It does run 11's @ 115MPH which is really fast when your in the car. This car is capable of running 10's with a good driver and some minor improvements.

The car was for sale 2 ways from the grandson- roller or with engine and trans. Engine was a MK lV 565ci 1,400hp Aluminum head, sheet metal intake, twin dominators, ported 2 stage nitrous engine with powerglide. ($17,000) I bought as a roller. Grandson spared no expense on building the chassis. His goal was to run 9 seconds but streetable. This also explains why the wheel tubs are not massive in height. He planned on building a one seat area in back for his son. He is a contractor who purchased a farm during the recession and needed to sell the car.

• I have had no issues stopping at the high speeds at the track, and would not anticipate problems with stopping when the car continues to go faster up to a certain point which I can not predict. All I know is its safe right now

• I do not have the paper work on the weight. It is a heavy car. I believe its in the range of 2,900 – 3,000
