 This 1960 Pontiac Catalina Convertible is a matching-numbers beauty. At some point the car was painted a non-original red color but it has been returned to the original-to-the-car white utilizing modern base-coat, clear-coat materials. The fender skirts are original steel, not fiberglass repops. The wide-white wall tires are brand new Cokers and sharp eyes might notice that the hub caps are 1959 vintage. I think they look much nicer than the 1960 caps but I do have the originals should the buyer prefer. The interior has been upgraded to the Bonneville leather Tri-Color-Blue style.  The interior door and rear side panels were restored by SMS and they also supplied all of the leather, vinyl and carpet materials to original specifications. This was an original padded-dash car and that feature has been retained with covering material matching the hand fitted top boot. Another major interior attraction is the deluxe steering wheel restored by Quality Restorations, Inc., it is beautiful.  The trunk has been completely finished with materials matching/complementing the interior. This is a significant upgrade from the rather spartan red factory treatment.  The blue top material was also chosen to complement the interior upholstery, much nicer looking than white or black original options.  While this color top was not a factory option, many cars of the era were recovered in custom colors. The stock radio has been replaced with a Pontiac-labeled aftermarket AM-FM stereo unit that can accommodate auxiliary CD, IPOD, etc. MP3 inputs. The connections for such accessories are presently routed to the glove box but could be easily changed. The current speakers are very nice dual-cone (both stereo channels) units mounted in the original front and rear locations. The Jetaway/Strato-Flight 4-speed Hydromatic transmission has been completely rebuilt. The VIN matching original engine was completely rebuilt at a very reputable machine shop using more practical 9.5:1 CR pistons in place of the10.75:1 CR originals. The engine is topped off by an original 1960 Pontiac tri-power intake system meticulously restored by Pontiac Tripower (Mike Wasson) with their reliable mechanical progressive linkage replacing the troublesome original vacuum system. Nobody does it better. Additional notables include (I'm sure to forget some); Pertronix Ignitor III electronic ignition; all new dual exhaust system; brakes completely rebuilt; NOS windshield and all new side glass; rebuilt windshield wiper unit; new battery. The car attracts a lot of attention with thumbs-up, waves and compliments. As is standard for a used car it is offered for sale as-is where-is with no warranties stated or implied. By Idaho statute, vehicles over ten years old are exempt from mileage statements. The vehicle mileage is unknown and shows zero on the title as a default.

In light of all the features this car exhibits, a very modest reserve has been set which is well below the cost of undertaking a similar build. The car is for sale locally but will not be sold before the initial listing ends. If the initial listing ends without a sale, any re-listing may be ended at any time due to a local sale. Bid accordingly

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim 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.

There's a 'Knight Rider' movie in development

Mon, Aug 17 2020

James Wan, who has directed films from the first "Saw" to "Aquaman," with "Furious 7" in between, and produced even more projects, is producing a new Knight Rider movie according to a report in Deadline. Just in case there's a reader who doesn't know, Knight Rider was one of the seminal trio of iconic-car shows from the 1980s, along with "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "Miami Vice." The series lasted 90 episodes that ran from 1982 to 1986, following the crime-fighting exploits of Michael Knight, a man who crusaded for justice after being shot in the face. Billionaire Walton Knight hired Michael to work with the Knight Foundation, where Michael helps develop the Knight Industries Two Thousand, a Pontiac Trans-Am with AI that can talk, drive more than 200 miles per hour, and could teach MI6's Q Branch about gadgetry. Collider described David Hasselhof's Michael Knight as "crimefighter by trade and wearing-a-leather-jacket-with-no-shirt-underneath innovator by hobby." The show made such an impression that there was a series spinoff called "Code of Justice," two TV movies in 1991 and 1994, a convention called KnightCon, and a series reboot on NBC that lasted for one season from 2008 to 2009, as well as stores full of action figures and models and literature, YouTube fan-made trailers and movies, and this wacky German-dubbed short "Knight Rider" film starring Hasselhoff. We don't know anything about the new movie's plot yet, other than that it's set in the present. T.J. Fixman, better known for now as a video game writer who worked on franchises like "Ratchet and Clank" and "Resistance: Fall of Man," has been attached to write, with a mandate to keep "the anti-establishment tone of the original." With matters still early in development there's no telling when the movie will hit theaters, and Wan's probably got his hands busy with the new MacGuyver reboot for CBS, anyway. Now that there's already been a Knight Industries 2000 and 3000, that gives us plenty of time to imagine — in a world where 200-mph hypercars powered by everything sprout like weeds and even Cannonballers are using military-like equipment — what would a Knight Industries Four Thousand possess? And would it be called KIFT? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Tue, Jun 19 2018

For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.
