1968 Pontiac Catalina Convt on 2040-cars
Pinellas Park, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a great running and driving 1968 Pontiac Catalina Convertible that is close to being an incredible car with the new owners touch! It has a lot of potential without breaking the bank and can be driven anywhere. It has a 400 ci V-8, 4bbl carb, TH400 automatic transmission, power Top, Cold A/C that has been converted to 134A. We have owned this car since 2006 and has been driven to the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona Florida several years without problems. This is a great running driving car that has good manners, stops on a dime and very reliable.
The 400 ci engine and TH400 trans were both rebuilt in 2008. The front suspension components were rebuilt, replaced and all hard parts were blasted and painted as well as the front and rear brakes. This car has a fairly new exhaust system including lead pipe, muffler, and tailpipe. This car rolls on factory GM Pontiac Rally wheels that were restored and mounted on 215/70/15 Dunlop Signature Radials that have more than 90% tread life. The interior of the car is Ivy Gold and is in decent original condition. The carpet has been replaced recently as well as the correct dash knobs. There is no factory radio although a Sony AM/FM/CD player was installed under the dash. At the same time the seats were recovered in factory materials and color and a Billet Steering wheel was installed. The door panels are in fair condition please look at the pictures. The original black top does have a tear on top. this car has new power top rams, hoses, and correct power top switch and works great. All options and accesories work as they should. The Body of the car is very solid. As you can see in the pictures the front clip of the car and trunk lid has had body work done and painted the factory color. This was done 6 years ago by Color Concepts in Clearwater FL. The glass in the car is all factory and the windshield has a small crack between panes on the top passenger corner although all other glass is in great condition. A new front bumper was installed along with NOS front and rear lower valances. There is a ding in the top of the hood and normal wear along the other panels. The only rust in the car is in the rear quarters, above the rear wheel openings and starting on the rear tail panel. I have factory sheetmetal off another car for some of the repair panels. he floor panels, frame, and trunk pans are clean and rust free. Included with the car are numerous extra parts such as NOS tail light lenses, extra NOS Chrome pieces, new convertible top well, extra decklid, fender wells, dash parts, new roof rail weatherstrips, Etc. To sum things up this is a great solid piece of Detroit craftsmanship that can easily be brought back to perfection by someone with the time to finish. Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. you can email me or call Aaron at 727-424-0392 It is the winning bidders responsibility to arrange and pay for shipping or I would be willing to pick someone up at nearby Airport so they could drive the car home. Thanks and Good Luck bidding! |

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package
Sun, Dec 22 2019Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
