1963 Pontiac Catalina 389 on 2040-cars
Mount Prospect, Illinois, United States
I just purchased this vehicle with the intention of restoring it but I came across another vehicle so I will let this one go. First of all, this car has not been touch or repainted, someone did some body work in the back and that's it. The odometer reads 74000 miles which I was told is correct and by the condition of this I believe it. I drove the car on the expressway 70 miles to get it home without any issues. If you plan on restoring this classic it will need lower quarters and rocker panels (all available on line). The doors and trunk are very solid. Driver side fender will need a patch on the rear lower part and the passenger side is good. The trunk pan is good but 2 spots on the seam will need repair. All these issues seem to have started in the last couple years, this car has not been rusting out for the last 20 years, so it can still be salvaged rather simply. The hood is also solid aside from the small pits starting to form on the front. Bumpers have no dents, the front is in great shape and the rear has some surface rust in 2 spots. Dash board is perfect, no splits or cracks, radio still works as well as wipers. Seats and door panels will need attention, carpet is original and in great shape. ALL the trim is there. The most expensive part of restoring these cars are the availability of the chrome trim, this one has it all. Tires are new and the engine and trans were rebuilt 20,000 miles ago. It's a 389 2bbl engine. Any questions please ask. I can send more pictures. Also included is the rolling frame pictured. It's from a 63 Catalina as well and can be used on this car. The frame on the car is solid but had some repair done in the past on the passenger side. This frame would be for a full resto. It's free if you want it.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
