VEHICLE INFO SHEET--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport/GTO/Chevy hybrid Custom Street Rod VIN: available 214.558.2656 cell david@davidb.net email All paperwork (receipts, work orders, maintenance sheets, etc.) available All parts and work listed here was made/installed 1999 and 2011. In Short: This is a full mechanical resto, with no body restoration at all. If you want a body resto, look further. Over $30,000 invested in the mechanical. The only original parts on this car are the frame and exterior body. The motor is a custom handbuilt Chevy big block, the transmission is a street rod GM factory modified unit, the suspension is a $12k custom system (Global West & Hotchkis primarily), the brakes are high end Wilwood (Superlite III's & new pads), the wheels are custom one-offs, and much much more. It's a different car from most 'classic' A-bodies... this one focuses on long-life, mechanical robustness, and the suspension/handling. This car has been in storage on blocks, engine pickled, with a car cover in indoor storage since 2002. Donnie Compton of Compton Automotive just brought her back to life this Summer (2011) after storage with a complete overhaul for roadworthiness (about $3,000 in work, receipt available, all details attended). The car is in fully strong and perfect running order and is fully legal. Details and work order available. The recent overhaul was front-to-back including full motor service, transmission service, radiator/belts/hoses/brakes service, new brake pads,12 bolt rear end service, electrical service, new tires, new battery, carb overhaul, fuel system and tank drain & flush, etc etc. (a four page work order). Donnie has her running better than ever before. The motor, transmission, and suspension are all new parts with slightly over 30k miles. Exact mileage is estimated due to the odometer gearing and final gearing mismatch (rear end formerly was 3.08 final, now with the new 12 bolt & Eaton Positraction is final geared 3.55). All details noted are backed by receipts, invoices, and work orders. All is available for inspection.

Synthetic oil every 2k miles, tuneups, etc. This car has never been raced or regularly driven hard. I had it built to last since it was my only car and have treated it as such. Car and engine built by Ron McNeeley at Aerofab Racing, Inc. in Auburn, WA in 1999. All paperwork of custom parts (a huge stack of receipts and work orders, etc.) is in my possession. This car has a declining body and will need paint or more soon depending on what you are looking for in the end. The frame was straightened in '99 from typical rail sag and now holds a custom alignment perfectly. I built this car for reliable daily driving, lots of fun from a full road race suspension and torque, and tons of style... this car gets looks although many call it a sleeper. Suspension: Entirely Global West/Hotchkis. It was all built for strength, durability, and performance. All parts tubular and powdercoated. Tube A-arms are double gusseted and reinforced. All bearings are spherical aircraft types, rear trailing arms are also chrome-moly tubular powdercoated with the spherical aircraft bearings. Upper rear trailers and lower front A's are boxed and powder coated. All bushings are Del-alum which are aluminum in a Teflon sleeve, good for 120,000 miles, and ride superbly on the street or track, much smoother than polyurethane with no binding. The current alignment sits at 6 1/2 degrees caster but can easily go higher. All springs are from Global West premium package and are very stiff but in balance front (560 lbs.) and rear (145 lbs.). This car holds the road unlike any other muscle car you'll drive. With the right tires it's unbelievable. I formerly had Michelin XGT Pilots, which were stunning on this car. The brakes are 13" Wilwood all around. The fronts are Superlite III calipers with Polymatrix D pads on ZR-1 rotors on Global West aluminum racing hubs. All lines are braided steel. The power booster is custom from Dewey Boosters in Washington state (he claims additional 20% power) and a modified Corvette master cylinder. The braking power is amazing and they never heat up, even coming down the Rocky Mountains. The wheels are 17" customs by 562, Inc. They're 2-piece alloy and are very light and strong with a clear view into the brakes. The fronts are 9" and rears are 10". I run 255/40R17Z front and 285/40R17Z rear. These wheels are rare (I’ve never seen them on another car) and look perfect on this car. The steering box is quick ratio (3.0 turns) from an IROC-Z and is modified by Redhead Steering in Seattle and has the stops removed for a tighter radius. The pump and all the steering components are aftermarket. The only current weak point on the drivetrain is the tires mounted now. They're new and have a long life ahead of them, but are high-performance winter tires, Michelin Winter Pilots front and Pirelli SnowSports rear. This has been my only car and, while living in Colorado, warranted the use of winter tires where I was living and driving. These tires, although great on the highway, severely limit the grip in normal street driving, especially while wet but not frozen. Motor: This was Ron's personal motor pet-project that he had shelved. He sold it to me still unassembled when the old motor in this car (Pont. 400) threw a bearing. It's a Mark IV Chevy Big Block .060 overbore 468ci. The block is square-decked. All parts are hand balanced, the crank is micropolished 4340 steel. Pistons are forged flattops (10.5:1), rings are chrome-moly Gapless ($550 worth of rings). Rods are wetmagged GM balanced and with brass seats inserted. Valvetrain is Crane hydraulic with roller rockers, progressive rate springs, and big valves (in paperwork, can't remember sizes). All fasteners are ARP, gaskets are FEL-PRO. I told Ron not to conserve on the small stuff when he built the engine and he didn't. There's an HEI distributor and Crane Fireball ignition. It has an Edelbrock Performer RPM Q-Jet 1910 spread-bore 850cfm electric choke carb and Performer aluminum intake. Exhaust starts at solid GM truck exhaust manifolds (being a daily driver I chose the old reliables over tubes) and leads into dual 2 1/2" Top Ten Shootout Flowmasters with an H-pipe. The engine was never dyno'd, but Ron simulated these specs on a computer modeler: 480 bhp @4,200rpm and 512 lb/ft torque @2,800rpm. Of course, the solid exhaust manifold limits the horsepower to below that spec. The cam is a billet cam with .510" intake and exhaust. The heads are Chevy iron oval port with a mild port massage. Transmission/Rear end: A B&M hammer ratchet shifter (very nice one) mated to a GM factory modified 4L60E. GM has a mod division that makes these for street rods, so they can handle the torque with a shot-peened input shaft, Kevlar this and that, red kolenes, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember, and a stiff shift kit. The driveshaft is custom cut and fitted to a GM 12-bolt with Richmond 3.55 gears and a heavy-duty Eaton Positraction unit. I have paperwork for the transmission as well. Electrical: The electrical system all functions perfectly. Only the main box and some leads and switches were replaced or rebuilt. There's a nice Optima battery in the trunk in a battery box with a kill switch and gold connectors. All the interior and exterior lights work, and there's also a pair of PIAA 100W foggers in the front valance that really light up the road. The washer/wiper pump and motor have been replaced with new parts in 2000. The speedo and tach work fine, and I have put in a voltage, oil pressure, and water temp Auto Meter gauges in a custom center console. Body: The body has worked for me as exterior armor from the elements, and it doesn't look bad from a small distance, but if you are looking to restore this car, then the body will be your real focus. There is rust in many places although none is all the way through. There are bubbles under the paint and the paint is cracking in spots. Still now, however, the car looks ok from a distance when cleaned up. But I think that the rust will begin to be a certain problem within a year and a half or two if this car gets rained on or sits outdoors (it’s currently in a garage since making it down to Texas in Dec. 2001). The internal panels and floor and trunk base panels have some rust, but none are with holes, at least when I last redid the interior back in '99. I recently replaced both the front and rear valance panels, and repainted the running panels so all are black and match the front GTO chin spoiler and rear GTO wing. The front glass has a line crack in it that's been there about 4 years and has not spread. Interior: The interior has been redone a couple times. It's in decent condition mostly. The carpet and seats are clean, there's no real ugliness and no mold or any of that. Some of the trim paint on the plastic (such as the interior door handle bumpers) is flaking. The dash is OK but has some small holes where I ran some speaker wire before. The carpet is black, put in 1999 with Pontiac Indian floormats. The seats and side panels are done in stitched grey velour with black buttons and beading. If you have any other questions about this car then please contact me at the information above. Please inquire only if seriously interested. The drive train is in impeccable condition and has been babied since its construction. See the full gallery of body pics here.
