1960 Pontiac Catalina Base 6.4l on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
This is a 1960 Pontiac Catalina which is in all original condition with very low mileage at 28k. The only things changed are the rims and tires, but the original hubcaps will be included with car.I bought this car from California with the intention to put a little money into it and use it as a daily driver during the summer months. but I have not found the time to do anything to it and I have two kids in college which are sucking me dry :-) Here's the deal on this car as far as condition. The car is very solid with some surface rust that has recently started to appear and only because its been sitting outside lately.The car is extremely dependable and runs strong. Older cars are known to overheat but this car has been driven long distances without a problem of overheating. everything works on it except for the wipers (very typical). The radio even works great and sounds great considering its 54 years old. The windows roll up and down smoothly. interior is clean condition but does show its age. The engine is original and runs very solid with no signs of burning oil. The transmission shifts just as it should. The body as I said before is pretty solid except for a couple area of concern on the front fenders at the tops (look at pictures). The trunk is all original and solid. Body is straight. I could keep going and describing every aspect of car but I'm not! ;-)
All I can say is the car is far from perfect but considering its all original with no Bondo and no modifications it would make for a great car for someone to restore or just put some money in a new paint job and enjoy the car. The car is being sold in As Is condition. If you ask questions I will respond. I'm also selling this call locally and reserve the right to end auction at any time. Thanks for bidding in advance, George On Jun-15-14 at 10:38:54 PDT, seller added the following information: FYI yes the mileage is original! The car was owned by an old couple since new and when she was denied her license renewal by the state of California a neighbor of her purchased it from her and he only drove it for short distances for shopping. When I bought it he told me that the only reason he was selling it is because his daughter was getting married and they needed the money. I have original owners manual and the original documents that came with car upon purchase with sales receipt. That's really cool!!!! Thanks |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The 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:
