Here for sale is a 1960 Pontiac Catalina Convertible  . The interior is 100% original it as had 1 replaced top and 1 one repaint in the 70's. The top had a tear in the front of it and during transport ripped the center of the top off. The top rails are in excellent condition with original felt liner intact. This car is very straight and has very minimal rust on the body the areas are in the front and rear of the wheel wells of the quarter panels very minimal. The surface spots on the paint are just that surface rust as you can see in the photos. There is a hole in the center of the drivers side front floor pan that I have a new replacement panel for.The drivers side rear floor pan was replaced ( they did a nice job on it but its not original style sheet metal). The trunk was fiberglass years ago, It's solid but it should be replaced for a correct restoration. There are a few small areas on the inner rocker panel/floor extension that can be cut out and replaced and the flat bottom of the rocker panels have some bubbling that can be replaced. The exterior outer rocker panels are in nice shape with the exception of a small spot on the passenger side quarter rocker seam. Would be an easy repair what I'm trying to say is this car is not a total rust bucket but in nice solid restorable car. It has a set of fender skirts in the trunk that are in very nice condition along with the original jack and spare tire. I brought the car home to my shop and changed the oil , lubed the cylinders , cleaned the points, disconnected the fuel line to a small gas can in the front grill pan and started the car up and it run unbelievably well. I preceded to do a complete brake job on the car to make it mobile . I replaced the wheel cylinders. The drums and brakes shoes were as new so I did not replace them, I Greased and packed all the bearings . I had all new brake hoses made ane purchased a brand new master cylinder and when I went to change the master cylinder it was frozen to the booster. So the car is not operable for transport loading it will need a new master cylinder and brake booster , However, I can try to install the master cylinder without the brake booster to see if I can get a brake pedal for loading but I can not guarantee that but I will do my best but with a new brake booster and flushed fuel tank the car would be moble. I have described this vehicle to the best of my ability . If you have less than 10 Ebay transactions please contact me before bidding or your bid will be retracted. I have the right to end this auction anytime as this vehicle is listed locally. I have described this vehicle to best of my ability ,but should you have any further questions or request any further photos please contact me by phone at (813) 393-8705 as my time on the computer is limited. A $500.00 deposit is due within 48 hours after auctions end and the balance is due 7 days after auctions end. Thank You and Good Luck Bidding Jimmy (813) 393-8705.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

GM Design shows what could have been and what might be

Thu, May 27 2021

We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
