1969 Pontiac Catalina 2dr Sport Coupe Original Survivor 74k Miles Gto Hauler on 2040-cars
Gloversville, New York, United States

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! This is a true NO RESERVE AUCTION!

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

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Pontiac and McLaren once hooked up, and it was rad
Fri, Jun 24 2022Most of us would bend over backwards to have a chance to own a McLaren car, but few can afford such extravagance. That said, there’s a way you can get behind the wheel of a legitimate McLaren without breaking the bank. For 1989 and 1990, the Pontiac Grand Prix was offered in a limited-edition ASC-McLaren variant that featured tuning and updates from the iconic British automaker. Examples of this rare coupe rarely surface for sale, so itÂ’s surprising to see this low-mile 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix ASC-McLaren on eBay. The car is the result of a partnership between American Specialty Cars-McLaren (ASC-McLaren) and Pontiac. WeÂ’re not talking about the McLaren Formula 1 team or even the iconic McLaren road cars here. The McLaren connection comes from an arm of the automakerÂ’s powertrain engineering department. The Grand PrixÂ’s standard 3,1-liter V6 got a massage and a turbocharger, adding 65 horsepower for a total of 205 ponies and 225 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. That output is modest by todayÂ’s standards, and it wasnÂ’t outrageous even by 1990 standards, but the car returned a decent 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The $5,000 ASC-McLaren package added a load of cool 1980s tech to the Grand PrixÂ’s interior, some of which is surprisingly advanced for the time. The car got a head-up display and a digital display on the dash. The steering wheel should be delightfully familiar to anyone who remembers a top-end Pontiac of the era, with the entire center of the wheel filled with buttons instead of the airbags we see today. The car had insanely padded bucket seats front and rear(!) with a distinctive pear shape. Many sources peg production numbers between 2,500 and 3,500 units, so the car is relatively rare compared to its mass-produced Pontiac counterparts. This oneÂ’s got just 17,746 miles on the clock, too, and appears to be in excellent condition. ItÂ’s had just two owners and no reported accidents. The seller notes a little surface rust from the car being in storage so long. This era of GM cars tended to deteriorate quickly, so a bit of surface rust shouldnÂ’t be a huge issue.

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.
