Waukegan, Illinois, United States
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

teal green in color and extends to the bottom of the door panels and the kick

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

1964 VENTURA was a sub-model of the Catalina line of cars and was designed to

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe
Thu, Feb 21 2019In 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.

It even came with a remote, so bad Midwestern farmgirls could make quick getaways when caught in the act by enraged broom-wielding mothers.
