1950 Pontiac Catalina 2 Door Coupe Straight 8/auto Trans. Runs & Drives Good ! on 2040-cars
Fenton, Missouri, United States
|
1950 Pontiac Catalina 2 door hard top coupe First year for the Pontiac Hard Top This car has a very strong running straight 8. It drives very well for a car of its age. No issues of start up, overheating or stalling. No excessive oil use or leaks The brake petal is a little soft. The rear brake cylinders have been replaced with new ones and bled within the last 50 miles. I bought new front brake cylinders, but have not had time to install them. The two front cylinders are included with the car. I would think the brakes would work 100% after installing front cylinders and re-bleeding the system. Car is currently running off a boat gas tank behind driver side seat. The fuel tank in the car has not been tested for rust or corrosion. When they are that old, I don't trust their condition and don't use them until they are checked out. The original tank is mounted in stock location and is disconnected from the fuel pump. I spent a small fortune on a rebuilt carburetor and did not chance getting dirt or rust from an old tank in it. Within the past 200 miles, parts replaced: new water pump, thermostat, carburetor, oil change, battery, front motor mount Needs exhaust repair and minor brake work The interior is in poor condition, but is at least there and restorable. The body has rust out issues as seen in pictures. By the way, 24 pictures is not nearly enough to show true condition ! I have many more photo's including close ups of rotted area's. I have six patch panels for the car which are included in the auction. (pictured) The floors are fairly solid other than a few holes near each rocker The trunk is solid other than at the two rear corners Inner rockers are bad ! Lower front fenders have small holes Patch panels included are : both outer rockers and 4 pieces of rear quarter patch The bumpers I have pictured are included. I do not have all the stainless trim. Also, NO hood ornament. The car is a running , driving project or you can just drive it with few repairs. The choice is yours. At least you do not have to push it around. If the car was show and I didn't already have 14 other projects, I wouldn't even offer it. I just do not have time and money to finish all of them. Please view my other listings for other project car offers. I am going to list 26 Model T, 31 Model A slant window, 47 New Yorker and a few others Please ask questions and make comments before bidding or making BIN offers. Call me @ 1-314-757-3489 text or email. I will provide you with all answers for questions asked and all extra photo's asked for. I have nothing to hide and absolutely want you to be 100% happy with your purchase ! This car comes with a clear Missouri Title and as-is bill of sale.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Pontiac and McLaren once hooked up, and it was rad
Fri, Jun 24 2022Most of us would bend over backwards to have a chance to own a McLaren car, but few can afford such extravagance. That said, there’s a way you can get behind the wheel of a legitimate McLaren without breaking the bank. For 1989 and 1990, the Pontiac Grand Prix was offered in a limited-edition ASC-McLaren variant that featured tuning and updates from the iconic British automaker. Examples of this rare coupe rarely surface for sale, so itÂ’s surprising to see this low-mile 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix ASC-McLaren on eBay. The car is the result of a partnership between American Specialty Cars-McLaren (ASC-McLaren) and Pontiac. WeÂ’re not talking about the McLaren Formula 1 team or even the iconic McLaren road cars here. The McLaren connection comes from an arm of the automakerÂ’s powertrain engineering department. The Grand PrixÂ’s standard 3,1-liter V6 got a massage and a turbocharger, adding 65 horsepower for a total of 205 ponies and 225 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. That output is modest by todayÂ’s standards, and it wasnÂ’t outrageous even by 1990 standards, but the car returned a decent 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The $5,000 ASC-McLaren package added a load of cool 1980s tech to the Grand PrixÂ’s interior, some of which is surprisingly advanced for the time. The car got a head-up display and a digital display on the dash. The steering wheel should be delightfully familiar to anyone who remembers a top-end Pontiac of the era, with the entire center of the wheel filled with buttons instead of the airbags we see today. The car had insanely padded bucket seats front and rear(!) with a distinctive pear shape. Many sources peg production numbers between 2,500 and 3,500 units, so the car is relatively rare compared to its mass-produced Pontiac counterparts. This oneÂ’s got just 17,746 miles on the clock, too, and appears to be in excellent condition. ItÂ’s had just two owners and no reported accidents. The seller notes a little surface rust from the car being in storage so long. This era of GM cars tended to deteriorate quickly, so a bit of surface rust shouldnÂ’t be a huge issue.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
