1960 Pontiac Catalina Bubble Top 4 Speed Super Duty Hot Rod Drag Car Gasser on 2040-cars
Fenton, Missouri, United States
|
This is a very cool old Pontiac Catalina bubble top. It is running a rebuilt high horsepower 400 V-8 out of a 1967 GTO. Trans is a Borg Warmer T-10 - 4 - speed. Car was originally a 3 speed on the column car. See the factory auto selector delete plate in the dash pictures. Rear end has 2.56 gears for highway use and good gas mileage. Car still has lots of zip even with the high gears. It has new brakes, exhaust, tires, sway bars front and rear, air shocks, and various other parts. The chrome and stainless trim is all good to excellent in condition. No need to redo any of it unless you want a concourse car. The front and rear windshield glass are good, but all side glass should be replaced. You can get all 6 pieces for both sides new for under $250.00. It is the same as a 1960 Chevrolet hard top car. The car was sandblasted with the side windows down and all trim off of the car. The sand blasting found it's way through the holes where the trim / door hardware attaches so all glass is etched to some degree. It will also need paint. It looks good from 15' away, but whoever did the paint did not prep it right. There are fish eyes, swirl marks, bubbling, etc. on just about very panel. I had a guy tell me that it could look a whole lot better if it was wet sanded and buffed, but I am sticking with a repaint so there are no misunderstandings. There is a small dent on top of the left front fender. The good news is that it appears that the car retains all original body panels. Sure you can tell where rust areas were repaired, but there was no major panels replaced. Has the original rocker panels. A magnet sticks just about everywhere. Floor boards have had some repair also, but the original floor is still there. All body mounts are super solid. The interior is all new and in great shape, but it is dated. Looks like it was done in the 80's. All of the lights, wipers, speedometer, gauges, horn, heater, etc. work. It has a vintage Pontiac factory tach on the dash that also works. The emergency brake works but needs another ratchet / pedal. It does not stay down when depressed. Trunk appears to be solid. Comes with 2 boxes of extra parts. Also has a very nice stereo system with sub woofer in the trunk area. I have the original radio in the trunk and the dash was not altered. All in all, this a great running car that you can fly in and drive home. It drives and stops very solid. It gets lots of attention at car shows and you won't have to worry about seeing another one like it when you show up. Drive it as is with pride and then finish it to your specifications as time and money permits. NO TRADES NO TRADES NO TRADES Now for the business end.

Thanks, Dave I do not respond to text messages One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a vehicle that I would be interested in. I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will contact you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction. I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying the vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on. If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or less than 10 feedbacks, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. Non-paying winners are a real problem for sellers and it is hard to get seller fees refunded from Ebay in a timely manner, if at all. For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership. Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave 314-732-592five |

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe
Sat, Jun 11 2022General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Want to buy a worst-in-show-winning Faux Ferrari Fiero?
Mon, Aug 31 2020UPDATE: This heap sold for $5,001. But don't fret, there are more terrible cars out there for the taking if that's your thing. Today we bring you something truly terrible. It's not just a fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero, it's actually the world's worst fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero. And it's got the award from the Concours d'Lemons to prove it. It's so heinous, in fact, that it has somehow managed to become desirable, at least judging by the bidding history of this bright red affront to Maranello. Powered by a 140-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 engine (covered by an unconvincing and broken fake V12 cover) hooked to an automatic gearbox, this gloriously poor Prancing Horse won't be winning many stoplight drag races. There are bundles of stray wires hanging down from the dashboard, it has high mileage, most of its lights don't work, and it's ugly. Like, really ugly. And to top it off, this Fauxrarri can't currently be registered in its home state of California because it has failed its most recent smog test. Put simply, you're looking at a total piece of junk. But a piece of junk with internet notoriety, having been featured on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage after attending the 2019 Quail Motorsports Gathering — by mistake at first, and then earning a special place next to the porta potties — being the focus of a video series on YouTube and winning the aforementioned ribbon for Worst in Show at Lemons. Somehow, bidding has topped $4,000 at the time of this writing. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. If you want to earn the ire of your neighbors — and to be clear, we really wouldn't recommend it — click on over to Cars & Bids to view the auction. There are four days left to hit the "bid" button.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
