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.

Wed, Feb 16 2022

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  Normally when we post about Omaze, it is about some kind of incredible car sweepstakes. Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO.  Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD  Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000  Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe

Thu, Feb 21 2019

In a few months, we'll reach the tenth anniversary of GM's axing of the venerable Pontiac brand. G6s, Vibes, and Matizes continued to be built until 2010, but I'm noticing a marked decrease in discarded Pontiacs lately, as I perform my junkyardy rituals. Here's a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, photographed in a Colorado wrecking yard. The Sunfire was the near-identical sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier, based on the long-running (1982-2005) J-Body platform. It was cheap and simple, looked pretty sporty (at least in coupe form), and every parts store in North America carried just about everything you'd need to keep one running. This coupe had to compete for sales not only with a vast and menacing array of imports but with GM's own Saturn SC2 (not to mention the Cavalier itself). Meanwhile, the J platform was showing its age more with each passing year. This car sports what must have been the complete line of Fatal Clothing bomber-nose-art/skate-punk/gang-tag-influenced decals, circa 2010. I actually photographed this car back in 2011, then misplaced the image files until last week. The stickers are very California-centric for a Colorado car, but then plenty of Californians — including me— move here. When you know you're a car's final owner, it's a lot easier to whip out the paint pens and redecorate the interior. Power came from the engine GM developed for the very first J-Bodies: the 2.2-liter 122 pushrod four-cylinder. 2002 was the last model year for 122-powered Sunfires and Cavaliers; the most affordable S-10/Sonoma/Hombre trucks got this engine through 2003.
