You
are bidding on a Custom and Rather Rare, Nicely Optioned 1964 Pontiac
Catalina Ventura. There weren’t many of this model produced to begin with
and the survivors are few and far between. This car has, over the past several
years, gone through a FULL RESTORATION that
was completed this past spring. This eye catching Base Coat/Clear Coat Reverse
Scallop Teal Green over Sunlit Sand Pearl Silver paint scheme and
Interior was chosen to respectfully pay tribute to the Custom Street Rods and
Low Riders of yesteryear yet still retain some of its classic original
features. The chassis has been lowered two (2) inches in the front giving this
car a very aggressive stance. This car was undercoated from the factory and
still retains most of that original undercoating. The underside of the car has
been cleaned and re-undercoated and the frame repainted in flat black. The
entire underside of the car has been detailed and is nearly as nice as the
topside. A brand new gas tank with new sending unit and pickup has been
installed. The engine and automatic transmission have been completely rebuilt.
The A/C system has been completely gone through, restored as needed and on a 90
degree sunny day produces a BONE
CHILLING 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT THE VENTS!!! The
A/C systems of today’s cars cannot even compete!!! Other
than the paint and interior some of the other custom features of this car
include the 64 Grand Prix headlight bezels, grill and parking lights as well as
64 Grand Prix rear fender extensions, backup and tail lights and rear finned
chrome bezel. Red LED lights were installed in the rear finned bezel in place
of the factory GP tail lights and inside the GP backup lights. Brand new backup
lights were installed in the factory Catalina bumper locations. Door handles
and door mounted mirrors have been shaved and Custom mini roadster mirrors have
been modified and mounted on the vent window frames. Door poppers have been
installed to open the doors. A remote is included for the door poppers. KMC

What's driving the spike in air-cooled Porsche 911 prices
Thu, Mar 26 2015Classic car prices have been racing skyward in general, but prices for air-cooled (pre-1999) Porsche 911s are ascending like they're strapped to rocket boosters. It's been going on for years, and every year people are surprised by how outrageous it's getting: Classic Driver covered it this month, as did The Truth About Cars who included this example of a "scruffy" 1993 RS America with 215,000 miles asking $80K; Mike Spinelli at Drive riffed on it at length last year along with a host of classic-car-market observers; Porsche forums were at it two years ago; and let's not even get into the 993 Turbo, going for prices so high you have to lie down to look at them. Speed Academy has run a piece looking at why it's happening, one theory being that regular-guy owners are hopping on the runaway-price wagon without any good reason. As in the example of that high-mileage, scruffy 911 RS America at Bring a Trailer, the owner sees pristine examples valued by Hagerty at $170,000, and even though the average value is $93,238 he thinks something like, "Mine's got to be worth half of top dollar ..." The tide - even one rising on air - makes it hard to find decent prices. Then there is the flood of money into the market. In spite of articles that try to temper investors' outlooks on collectible cars, other articles in places like the Financial Times and the Guardian promote vintage metal as a safe place to put money and reap astonishing returns. Speed Academy thinks one side effect of high 911 prices is that responsible enthusiasts are turning their attention to cars like the BMW 2002, E30 M3, and E9 3.0CS, saying their prices are "sharply on the rise." The entire article is worth a read since it goes into markets far afield from pricey German steel, but incredibly, the entire piece was actually inspired by a 1997 Acura Integra R that sold for $43,000 on eBay. So while this could be the best time to get into the classic car market if you know what you're doing, it is certainly the best time to do your homework. Related Video:
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
