1954 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Catalina Kustom Rat Rod on 2040-cars
United States
|
Up for auction is my 1954 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Catalina, with 39K original miles. What a Kool ride this is.... This car is all original except for the matte/satin Black paint and the Gold top. I have every single original piece for this car. This Pontiac still runs on the original 6-Volt system and runs and drives pretty amazing considering it is 60 years old. The original 268ci straight 8 motor has been professionally gone through and runs like a top. I recently have done the following: Replaced both rear quarter panels from the door to the bumper on both sides, including the rear inner fenders, went through the brakes, rebuilt the carb, new carpet, new head lights, new paint, and put brand new tires with porta-walls on it. The original interior would need done depending on which way you would do this car. I threw some mexican blankets over it and think it looks pretty rad that way. The chrome on the car seems to be very good for its age but would need re-chromed if you wanted that new show quality look. As far as rust there is some on the front lower parts of the front fenders and there is a small hole on the driver floor near the body mount. Ls swap? Air ride? Keep it original? You decide.. I've lost interest in this and want something different. I may be interested in trades as well, 28-31 model a roadster?? Let me know what you got. This car is listed locally for sale and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Buyer to come pick up and or arrange shipping. $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of listing end. Please don't bid if you are not 100% interested and please don't message me asking what the reserve price is. |

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

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.
