Up for sale is a really amazing ORIGINAL UNRESTORED "SURVIVOR" CAR! This is a 1969 Pontiac Catalina 2dr hardtop sport coupe! It was one owner until I purchased it. Actually, even though I have had it in my collection, I still have the original owner title, along with the notary forms that allow me to transfer the car from me to you. So actually, whoever ends up buying this beauty and registering it will technically be the second owner of this Catalina! How often does that happen on a 45 year old car? Car has always been garaged, and is in amazing unrestored original condition! It has 85% of its original light green paint that still holds a great shine! The original chrome and bright work are still excellent! Engine compartment is all original, as is interior. Trunk is also original unrestored, except that there is a reproduction trunk mat. Original mat is still there, and intact, but is a bit worn, so they put the repro on top of it for show purposes. The original owners purchased this car to tow their camper trailer and boat trailer. Catalina is equipped as follows: 1. 400 Cubic Inch Pontiac V8, 2bbl, runs well on today's fuels, but still has gobs of power and torque! 2. Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission (smooth and bullet-proof if you know these units) 3. Power Steering & Power Brakes 4. Cordova Vinyl Top 5. AM Radio 6. Deluxe Interior with Comfort Weave cloth seat inserts 7. Optional factory Fender Skirts (NOT repros, but have been with car since new). I like the non-skirt look, but they are included for those who like them. They fit great! 8. Heavy Duty Cooling and Heavy Duty Tow Package. The tow package was installed when the car was new at the dealership. It features transmission cooler, trailer brakes, air shocks, and HD tow hitch. I have all the original factory and dealership brochures and receipts for this. 9.; Original green "arrowhead" Pontiac accessory floor mats still in nice shape. These alone are worth a small fortune to a GTO or Firebird guy as they are not reproduced in green! This Wide Track also has a couple very neat nostalgic Period Correct add on aftermarket accessories: An FM Converter and 8 Track Stereo Unit as well as a vintage CB Radio. These were installed shortly after the car was new! Best of all, to my knowledge everything still works! The stereo definitely does. I turned on the CB and got some noise and chatter out of it. Have not been ablke to try the trailer brakes, but everything seems to be there and in good order. In addition to the aforementioned original owner title for the car, I also have a thick file folder with every repair receipt and service record for the car since new in 1969! These document original ownership and odometer mileage. Also have all factory books, Protecto Plate, and brochures etc. This is truly one of the most original and documented cars I have seen in a long time! The body is super straight, original, and rust free! I have not found any rot or Bondo. All original body panels, floor pan, trunk pan etc. Undercarriage is also nice and original, not flaky or scaly like many you see. Like any used car, there are some small nicks and dings from people opening doors up over the years, etc., but in my opinion, this Catalina looks better at 45 years old than many 5 year old cars I have seen. Interior is super nice, not faded. Dash, door panels, headliner are all super nice, not cracked, faded, or torn. Original carpets look great. Seats are very nice and comfortable. Instrument panel also looks spectacular! Last week I drove this car on a 150 mile trip, 55 to 70 MPH interstate driving. It is smooth, sure footed and powerful, just like you would expect one of these vintage Pontiacs to be! No issues that I could see. It was like sitting in your living room! Has 74,000 original miles, but could pass for half of that! For a full sized car, it handles remarkably well, without a lot of roll or body lean. Very smooth, even at 70 MPH! I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere! These original "Survivor" cars are really the hot thing in the collector car hobby. Anyone can write checks and over-restore a derelict, but they are only original once! This car has many possibilities for enjoyment in the collector car hobby: 1. Use it as the ultimate hauler to tow your GTO or Firebird "trailer queen" to car shows! 2. Use it as the ultimate and unique low priced tow vehicle to tow virtually anything smaller than the Queen Mary or the Empire State Building! LOL! 3. It would be a great car for vintage collector car tours 4. Use it to compete in the HPOF (AACA Historic Preservation of Original Features) or "Survivor" class at antique car shows 5. Use it for all of the above! Don't miss this opportunity to buy an honest to goodness original, 1 owner unrestored vintage Pontiac with all documentation at a price that won't break the bank!

I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s. |

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
Michigan floods from breached dams consume Pontiac Fiero collection
Thu, May 21 2020“WeÂ’ve never had an event like this,” Michigan's city manager Brad Kaye said in a Detroit News story. "What we're looking at is an event that is the equivalent of a 500-year flood." Kaye is referencing the catastrophic flood that occurred in central Michigan this week after heavy rainfall was compounded by two breached dams on the Tittabawassee River. Reports say the flooding forced evacuation of up to 10,000 residents, swallowed entire towns, and destroyed thousands of properties. No casualties have been reported, according to the Detroit Free Press, but car enthusiasts will be sad to learn a Pontiac Fiero shop and collection called Forever Fieros was decimated by the natural disaster. The Tittabawassee River is located about two hours, or roughly 140 miles, north of Detroit. It starts 20-30 miles further north and flows southeast as a tributary to the Saginaw Bay Watershed. Along the way, the Tittabawassee is held up by several dams, including the Edenville dam that failed and the Sanford dam that was breached during torrential downpours. According to NPR, the federal government took away the Edenville dam's license in 2018 and suggested it could not last through a major flood. Unfortunately, that prediction was proven accurate. Forever Fieros is located in Sanford, Michigan, which is just below Sanford Lake, which is created by the Sanford dam. So when the Edenville dam north of Sanford broke, water from Wixom Lake flooded Sanford Lake, and a berm next to the Sanford dam was overwhelmed, according to MLive. Technically the dam did not fail, but the end result was the same: an entire town underwater. The Tittabawassee reportedly crested at 35 feet, or 10 feet above flood level and 1.1 feet higher than the previous record set in 1986. According to The Drive, the man in charge of Forever Fieros, Tim Evans, had time to attempt to save his vehicles from floodwater. He reportedly moved about 12 cars to a street that doesn't typically flood, but the water level was simply too high for that to matter. A floating pole barn also reportedly struck and damaged the Forever Fieros building. Worsening the situation is the fact that Evans was planning to hold an auction to sell many of the Fieros. As seen on Industrial Bid, he planned to sell 12 Fieros, Fiero GTs and a Fiero Formula, ranging from 1984 through 1988. The lots included a 1984 pace car, a Lamborghini Countach kit car, and a Fiero Cosworth Pontiac Super Duty 16-valve DOHC engine.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
