You are bidding on a Custom and Rather Rare, Nicely Optioned 1964 Pontiac Catalina Ventura. There weren’t many of this model produced to begin with and the survivors are few and far between. This car has, over the past several years, gone through a FULL RESTORATION that was completed this past spring. This eye catching Base Coat/Clear Coat Reverse Scallop Teal Green over Sunlit Sand Pearl Silver paint scheme and Interior was chosen to respectfully pay tribute to the Custom Street Rods and Low Riders of yesteryear yet still retain some of its classic original features. The chassis has been lowered two (2) inches in the front giving this car a very aggressive stance. This car was undercoated from the factory and still retains most of that original undercoating. The underside of the car has been cleaned and re-undercoated and the frame repainted in flat black. The entire underside of the car has been detailed and is nearly as nice as the topside. A brand new gas tank with new sending unit and pickup has been installed. The engine and automatic transmission have been completely rebuilt. The A/C system has been completely gone through, restored as needed and on a 90 degree sunny day produces a BONE CHILLING 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT THE VENTS!!!  The A/C systems of today’s cars cannot even compete!!!

Other than the paint and interior some of the other custom features of this car include the 64 Grand Prix headlight bezels, grill and parking lights as well as 64 Grand Prix rear fender extensions, backup and tail lights and rear finned chrome bezel. Red LED lights were installed in the rear finned bezel in place of the factory GP tail lights and inside the GP backup lights. Brand new backup lights were installed in the factory Catalina bumper locations. Door handles and door mounted mirrors have been shaved and Custom mini roadster mirrors have been modified and mounted on the vent window frames. Door poppers have been installed to open the doors. A remote is included for the door poppers.

KMC 17x8 Chrome Billet Venom Wheels wrapped in low profile Kumho Ecsta ASX tires were chosen to complete the LOW, SLEEK, STALKING LOOK!!!

The all new carpet is dark teal green in color and extends to the bottom of the door panels and the kick panels. The seats and door panels are reverse scalloped in silver to carry through the exterior paint scheme. The metal parts of the dash and steering column were repainted in the light aqua and shows very nicely. The chrome dash is nice with very little pitting. The padded dash top is brand new and looks very nice. The real wood dash applique is brand new reproduction as is the wood sport steering wheel. The headliner is also brand new and is done in the white star pattern. The trunk has been customized with inner side panels upholstered like the door panels and the medium green carpet. All lights and accessories work as they were intended including all factory and aftermarket gauges.

EXTERIOR:

The front and rear bumper were just re-chromed and looks FANTASTIC. The exterior stainless is over-all nice for its age. All other exterior chrome is in good original condition with very little pitting. The doors open and shut easily and the hinges are tight. All exterior emblems have been replaced with new reproductions. The undercarriage of this car is highly detailed and very nice and has been cleaned, re-undercoated  and/or repainted back to its original flat black color. The engine compartment has been restored to factory condition. The floor pans and trunk floor are original and solid.

The 1964 VENTURA was a sub-model of the Catalina line of cars and was designed to be a sporty classy version of the Catalina with the factory tri-tone interior and all of the available chrome features offered on the Catalina. This car not only has style and luxury but it performs well with a factory horse power rating of 333 HP/330ft. lbs Torque plus the additional performance upgrades noted above.

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

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.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
