1968 Pontiac Catalina 2 Door Fastback on 2040-cars
Hesperia, California, United States
|
For sale is this 1968 Pontiac Catalina 2 door fastback restoration project. Lets start with the body first. Original color looks like it was blue. The previous owner who I got the car from tried to paint the car white himself, and did a terrible job. He had no idea what he was doing. It has runs, and in some places, it looks like he used a brush. The good thing is, it has a fairly strait body, with no bondo or body work done that I can find. It is rust free, with good floor boards, good trunk and especially around the back window area inside and out. It's solid. The car will definitely have to be sanded down and repainted.
All of the glass is good. The front and rear bumpers look good. The front lower valance will need some work. The rear valance is missing, so is Pontiac Catalina lettering. The interior will also need help. It's missing the lower back seat. The front seat is OK. All of the seat belts are there. It will need things like a carpet kit, headliner, package tray, weather stripping, etc. The door panels look ok. The dash itself looks ok, but the dash pad will need redone. The engine is the original 400 2 barrel. It starts and runs good. The trans is the turbo 400 and it shifts good. Has power steering and power brakes. This is a non AC factory car. The heater core will also have to be replaced. As I stated in the beginning, this is a restoration project. But it look to be a solid candidate for restoration or customize it your own way. Please understand I've tried describe the car as best I can from what I see and know. It is NOT perfect nor do I make any claim that it is. It will need restoration. Please ask all questions you might have before bidding. Please make sure you have the funds available before placing a bid and that you have permission from you wife, mother husband or whoever. If you have just joined ebay, please email me with your intentions before bidding. The car is sold "as is where is " with NO warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due at auction close with balance due within 5 days. Thanks for looking |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
