1955 Pontiac Chieftain 2dr Hardtop on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
This stunning Pontiac is a mostly original car with professionally restored bodywork and interior. It was restored from a clean and rust free California car back to its original red over black livery. See some images of the car prior to restoration on the poster board in the pictures. The restoration work is more than 10 years old, but it shows very little wear. The paint and bodywork are wonderful, smooth and straight with excellent panel fit. Since restoration, the car has been garaged and driven lightly. The engine is fitted with an aftermarket alternator. The engine and undercarriage are clean but have not been restored or detailed like the exterior. The engine has the optional Carter 4bbl carburetor. The hydramatic transmission shifts roughly at times. Could be a linkage adjustment or just normal, I don't know for sure. The car has been driven on old car tours and is certainly capable of long distance drives. The engine is strong, quiet and does not smoke. I am trying to describe this car accurately, but there is no substitute for a personal inspection. I welcome you or a delegate to inspect this car in person. It is located near Albuquerque, NM, not far from the airport. I am listing this car for a friend. If you have specific questions about the car, I will try to get them answered promptly. The car has a current NM title in the owner's name. This is a no reserve auction so there is no need to ask me what the reserve is. Please do NOT bid unless you are in a position to complete this contract. The high bidder is going to own this beautiful Pontiac. |

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.
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.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
