Up for sale is a really amazing ORIGINAL UNRESTORED "SURVIVOR" CAR!  This is a 1969 Pontiac Catalina 2dr hardtop sport coupe!  It was one owner until I purchased it.  Actually, even though I have had it in my collection, I still have the original owner title, along with the notary forms that allow me to transfer the car from me to you.  So actually, whoever ends up buying this beauty and registering it will technically be the second owner of this Catalina!  How often does that happen on a 45 year old car?  Car has always been garaged, and is in amazing unrestored original condition!  It has 85% of its original light green paint that still holds a great shine!  The original chrome and bright work are still excellent!  Engine compartment is all original, as is interior.  Trunk is also original unrestored, except that there is a reproduction trunk mat.  Original mat is still there, and intact, but is a bit worn, so they put the repro on top of it for show purposes.

The original owners purchased this car to tow their camper trailer and boat trailer.  Catalina is equipped as follows:

1.  400 Cubic Inch Pontiac V8, 2bbl, runs well on today's fuels, but still has gobs of power and torque!

2.  Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission  (smooth and bullet-proof if you know these units)

3.  Power Steering & Power Brakes

4.  Cordova Vinyl Top

5.  AM Radio

6.  Deluxe Interior with Comfort Weave cloth seat inserts

7.  Optional factory Fender Skirts (NOT repros, but have been with car since new).  I like the non-skirt look, but they are included for those who like them.  They fit great!

8.  Heavy Duty Cooling and Heavy Duty Tow Package.  The tow package was installed when the car was new at the dealership.  It features transmission cooler, trailer brakes, air shocks, and HD tow hitch.  I have all the original factory and dealership brochures and receipts for this.

9.;  Original green "arrowhead" Pontiac accessory floor mats still in nice shape.  These alone are worth a small fortune to a GTO or Firebird guy as they are not reproduced in green!

This Wide Track also has a couple very neat nostalgic Period Correct add on aftermarket accessories:  An FM Converter and 8 Track Stereo Unit as well as a vintage CB Radio.  These were installed shortly after the car was new!  Best of all, to my knowledge everything still works!  The stereo definitely does.  I turned on the CB and got some noise and chatter out of it.  Have not been ablke to try the trailer brakes, but everything seems to be there and in good order. 

In addition to the aforementioned original owner title for the car, I also have a thick file folder with every repair receipt and service record for the car since new in 1969!  These document original ownership and odometer mileage.  Also have all factory books, Protecto Plate, and brochures etc.  This is truly one of the most original and documented cars I have seen in a long time!  The body is super straight, original, and rust free!  I have not found any rot or Bondo.  All original body panels, floor pan, trunk pan etc.  Undercarriage is also nice and original, not flaky or scaly like many you see.  Like any used car, there are some small nicks and dings from people opening doors up over the years, etc., but in my opinion, this Catalina looks better at 45 years old than many 5 year old cars I have seen.  Interior is super nice, not faded.  Dash, door panels, headliner are all super nice, not cracked, faded, or torn.  Original carpets look great.  Seats are very nice and comfortable. Instrument panel also looks spectacular!

Last week I drove this car on a 150 mile trip, 55 to 70 MPH interstate driving.  It is smooth, sure footed and powerful, just like you would expect one of these vintage Pontiacs to be!  No issues that I could see.  It was like sitting in your living room!  Has 74,000 original miles, but could pass for half of that!  For a full sized car, it handles remarkably well, without a lot of roll or body lean.  Very smooth, even at 70 MPH!  I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere!

These original "Survivor" cars are really the hot thing in the collector car hobby.  Anyone can write checks and over-restore a derelict, but they are only original once!  This car has many possibilities for enjoyment in the collector car hobby:

1.  Use it as the ultimate hauler to tow your GTO or Firebird "trailer queen" to car shows!

2.  Use it as the ultimate and unique low priced tow vehicle to tow virtually anything smaller than the Queen Mary or the Empire State Building!  LOL!

3.  It would be a great car for vintage collector car tours

4.  Use it to compete in the HPOF (AACA Historic Preservation of Original Features) or "Survivor" class at antique car shows

5.  Use it for all of the above!

Don't miss this opportunity to buy an honest to goodness original, 1 owner unrestored vintage Pontiac with all documentation at a price that won't break the bank!  This is a true NO RESERVE AUCTION!

NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE!


ABOUT ME:  I have been a collector and enthusiast of Postwar American cars for nearly 40 years!  I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles.  Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival.  I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here 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.

V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals.
