FOR SALE 1964 PONTIAC CATALINA 2 DR SPORTS COUPE NO RESERVE
This is a running 64 Catalina that, while it has received a lot of treatment, still needs some work. This has been a project car of mine that I purchased out of Virginia 7 years ago. It has many swapped parts to enable it to be in running driver condition, but at this point it has grown beyond my capacity to store and complete the project to its finality so I'm moving it down the line. Some history and info... When I first purchased the car the front bench seat was worn through, along with an absent headliner and intact door panels, carpeting and rear headrest. The car, while originally featured a champaign mist interior and exterior, was repainted a forrest green metallic which closely resembles a factory color. The engine is a 389 V8 with a 2 bbl carb with just over 90,000 miles on it. I swapped it out (along with the matching slim jim transmission) from a 64 4 dr parts car that was in much better running condition but sold as scrap after a front end collision. Along with the engine and transmission, I also swapped out a new front seat (Ventura option, aqua, bench), a sturdy hood and trunk, as well as a rear bumper and the driver's side tail light assembly. Replaced the dashboard wiring harness, rewired most of what was under the hood, and replaced the radiator for a brand new aluminum one. Also added some badass Cragars that have since gotten rusty. Unfortunately while the car was parked on the street someone had clipped the driver's side rear tail light which in turn, bent the long trim piece that is absent from pictures (but still have), and pinched the rear quarter panel. Mechanically speaking, the car needs a little bit of work and while it does run nicely, the car needs a new set of brakes. They do work, they're just old and should be replaced. Another undeniable necessity for this car is to acquire a new frame. While I had hopes that it could be patched up, most mechanics that have seen the car have all agreed on the inevitable purchase of a solid frame to get the car where it needs to be on a safety and legal standard. I restored the dashboard about 5 years ago with plans of going black/silver for the rest of the interior but never acquired the right colored matching parts. As you can see, car is non AC but does have the heater and radio intact. Last I checked the heater worked but not the radio or lighter. Installed an after market sony cd player and the car is wired for sound. The passenger's floor pan was replaced just after I bought the car, as well as a spot or two in the trunk. Otherwise the front and back floors are solid. As far as the outside goes, the passenger's side exterior is remarkably straight and rust free, while the driver's side is a different story. Fortunately it only involves a rust spot in front of the rear wheel well, so if you plan to replace the quarter panel from the prior accident damage than the rest of the body is solid and ready for a new paint job. Along with the car, I will also be posting some ads for extra parts that I have accumulated over the years of this project, including dash boards, tail lights, multiple interior items and accessories, trim and more. Contact if buyer wants the lot for a pontiac parts store. Surfing the net recently, I've seen 64 Catalinas that aren't even running going for around $3,000 in much rougher shape than this one, so if you've had your eye on a Poncho project car that is about half way complete than this one is a good driver to start with. I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to ask! Car and title $2,500 |

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500
Thu, Jun 20 2019Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
