1973 Pontiac Catalina Base Hardtop 2-door 6.6l 400/400th, Working Ac. New Paint on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
This is a quality driver that just downright drives good.
Drives and stops straight. Engine and transmission (400-2/TH400) are solid with smooth operation (as of this date, no leaks/smoke/drips). A pleasant cruiser. Air conditioning is factory R12 and functions properly. Can use a charge but still blows intermittently cold/cool. (R134A retrofit is an option if you have no access to R12/Freeze12). New expensive paint (receipt and documentation provided). If you are scratching your head wondering what is different about this 73, I had both bumpers moved inward, eliminating the awkward inserts. Looks more muscle now. Recent HD coil and HD gas shocks. Handles good. Ride is pliant. Original interior has held up good but is now finally exhibiting some center cracks in the upper middle section of the dash. Please look at the interior pics to see the true condition of this solid interior. This has always been a garaged car by the previous owners (all the same family) and me. The above mentioned dash wear didn't surface until sat outside for 14 days by the paint shop, awaiting the paint to cure, before wet sanding prior to the clear coat. Even the dash fade didn't happen till then. (see pics). Will say the paint shop was amazed by the condition of the body. Straight and no rust. New windshield was installed during the paint process also. The rear window was also removed for paint detail. The paint is excellent but the window chrome did not go back on as flush as factory. (Never does). Driver appearance but not show. Also a result of the windshield replacement was that the antenna is not hooked back up. (window antenna). I know, I know, - but I am just too old to find the connectors. The ODO is showing 58k but is undocumented. When the original owner passed, the family was not able to determine the actual mileage. The original owner was a miticulous care taker. When something needed addressed, it was repaired/replaced with the heaviest duty components available. Hence the above mentioned suspension upgrades. Also attributed to the original owner - Was getting an occasional dimmed oil light at idle, so the oil pump was replaced with a high output, HD version. (runs 50-75 psi now). Used only the finest synthetic oil as it became available. And used only Amoco Premium fuel. I currently run non-ethanol 89 now with good success. And I continue to use full synthetic, classic Amsoil designed to operate with the older flat tappet engines (more zinc/phos). New tires with raised white lettered side turned inwards. Original full hubcaps go with car. Now have Pontiac poverty hubs with rings on car. You decide. It is my honest opinion that you can drive this car across the nation with unexpected problems. But of course, no warranty is expressed nor implied. And the descriptive condition of this car is also my honest opinion. Someone else's may be different. So as a general rule, base your potential bid on this being 1976, and this being a 3 year old vehicle- for condition purposes. With the "Classic" appreciable value being the whipped cream on top. Properly maintained, this car will appreciate much faster than your savings account. Right now this car, at my conservative pricing, may be one of the best classic values you can find. Buyer is fully responsible for pick up and shipping. The Pontiac is listed locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early. $250 deposit due within 48 hours. The remainder with 7 days after the auction ends. Thanks! |

Florida man runs down bikers in traffic
Tue, May 31 2016A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
Build your dream garage with this insane prize from Omaze

No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse. Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery.
