1959 Pontiac, Catalina Vista Top. The Vista model is a no post hardtop with a "wrap around" rear window for an unobstructed 360 degree view from any seating position. The car has all the original running gear with only 80000 original miles on the clock. It is equipped with the Pontiac 389 C. I. engine coupled to the legendary "Jetaway" transmission. Also has factory power steering for ease in parking. It is very quick off the line due to the low ratio starting low gear. The car has all the pep and power you could want. It operates very well at modern freeway speeds and simply "erases" hills. The car is "show ready" and you could drive it anywhere you like. No power brakes but manual brakes work very well. No AC.
 
  This car is a very fun show car and always garners plenty of attention at shows. It has won many awards. The main body paint color is a special color which was created by Pittsburg Paint Company and now has a Pittsburg number. I have a small quantity of the paint in a can for touch up if needed. The color is a shade of pink with a hint of blue blended in which shows very strikengly in bright light or in low light. The top is white.
 
  The interior is painted to match the outside. The upholstery is mainly a denim fapric which incoperates a " 50's Rock N Roll" theme in the design and is an exclusive one time pattern. Accents are in white vinyl which is a thick high quality material. The overall theme is accented with poodle dog images here and there inside and also on the fender skirts outside. We always called it the "Poodle Car" and usually display it with a collection of stuffed poodles. These will go to the new owner if wanted. The many trophies will also go with the car if wanted.
 
 . It stays stored inside a locked secure garage when not in use.
 
Now for the few defects: (1). The heater core has begun to leak a little, so I bypassed the coolant supply to the heater so there is no heat in the car for now. I have a used good heater core which will go to the new owner. It takes about 3 or 4 hours to replace and is not a difficult job on this car. (2). The windshield has a small amount of white "clouding" in the corners which does not interfere with the view out the front. The side glass has some small heat bubbles at the edges. (3) The front windshield rubber seal has hardened over time and leaks a little from the top in a hard rain. (4) There is a small dent in the rear bumper (left side--see the pictures), but is barely noticable. (5) There are a very few paint defects, but the car is very presentable just as is. Not perfect, but not far off either.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh

Tue, Jan 31 2017

The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek

Tue, Jul 11 2017

Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.
