1960 Pontiac Catalina Bubble Top 4 Speed Super Duty Hot Rod Drag Car Gasser on 2040-cars
Fenton, Missouri, United States
|
This is a very cool old Pontiac Catalina bubble top. It is running a rebuilt high horsepower 400 V-8 out of a 1967 GTO. Trans is a Borg Warmer T-10 - 4 - speed. Car was originally a 3 speed on the column car. See the factory auto selector delete plate in the dash pictures. Rear end has 2.56 gears for highway use and good gas mileage. Car still has lots of zip even with the high gears. It has new brakes, exhaust, tires, sway bars front and rear, air shocks, and various other parts. The chrome and stainless trim is all good to excellent in condition. No need to redo any of it unless you want a concourse car. The front and rear windshield glass are good, but all side glass should be replaced. You can get all 6 pieces for both sides new for under $250.00. It is the same as a 1960 Chevrolet hard top car. The car was sandblasted with the side windows down and all trim off of the car. The sand blasting found it's way through the holes where the trim / door hardware attaches so all glass is etched to some degree. It will also need paint. It looks good from 15' away, but whoever did the paint did not prep it right. There are fish eyes, swirl marks, bubbling, etc. on just about very panel. I had a guy tell me that it could look a whole lot better if it was wet sanded and buffed, but I am sticking with a repaint so there are no misunderstandings. There is a small dent on top of the left front fender. The good news is that it appears that the car retains all original body panels. Sure you can tell where rust areas were repaired, but there was no major panels replaced. Has the original rocker panels. A magnet sticks just about everywhere. Floor boards have had some repair also, but the original floor is still there. All body mounts are super solid. The interior is all new and in great shape, but it is dated. Looks like it was done in the 80's. All of the lights, wipers, speedometer, gauges, horn, heater, etc. work. It has a vintage Pontiac factory tach on the dash that also works. The emergency brake works but needs another ratchet / pedal. It does not stay down when depressed. Trunk appears to be solid. Comes with 2 boxes of extra parts. Also has a very nice stereo system with sub woofer in the trunk area. I have the original radio in the trunk and the dash was not altered. All in all, this a great running car that you can fly in and drive home. It drives and stops very solid. It gets lots of attention at car shows and you won't have to worry about seeing another one like it when you show up. Drive it as is with pride and then finish it to your specifications as time and money permits. NO TRADES NO TRADES NO TRADES Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. Thanks, Dave I do not respond to text messages One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a vehicle that I would be interested in. I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will contact you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction. I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying the vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on. If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or less than 10 feedbacks, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. Non-paying winners are a real problem for sellers and it is hard to get seller fees refunded from Ebay in a timely manner, if at all. For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership. Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave 314-732-592five |

Junkyard Gem: 2002 Pontiac Aztek
Sat, Apr 17 2021The General's Pontiac Division sold the Aztek for the 2001 through 2005 model years, and — despite enjoying something of a cultural rebirth in recent years — it is generally considered to be one of the worst cars of all time. The idea of using a minivan platform as the basis for a rough-and-tough-looking crossover with plenty of outdoor-lifestyle amenities wasn't the problem, since many vehicle manufacturers have printed bales of money using that formula. What doomed the Aztek was its hideous appearance and sticker price too lofty for its underemployed-at-the-time Generation X target demographic. Still, the Aztek proved to be perfectly suited for the outdoor activities that Coloradans love: hiking, camping, fishing, skiing, hauling mud-caked golden retrievers around, etc., and so you'll still find lots of Azteks on the roads of the Centennial State. Here's an Aztek Yellow Aztek (yes, that's really the paint color's official title) residing just a few rows from a '76 Checker Taxicab in a Denver self-service yard. Sure, it does look like a vehicle built to the specifications of a six-year-old who decreed a mashup between a Datsun F-10 and a Fisher-Price Little People Travel Together Airplane, but so what? There's a built-in air compressor to blow up your inflatable rafts and volleyballs, a tent attachment that turns the rear of the van into a camper, 12-volt power plugs all over the vehicle (years before this became commonplace on ordinary minivans and SUVs), and running-gear commonality with a jillion Ventures, Silhouettes, Montanas and Trans Sports. Buick managed to de-uglify the Aztek (somewhat) and sold it as the Rendezvous through 2007, but the Aztek never could win over many people with this face. I see plenty of Azteks and Rendezvouses in Denver-area wrecking yards, and I've documented a handful over the years. This one came fully loaded from the factory, with the Corvette-style heads-up display in full effect. The center console was a removable cooler, which was a great idea Â… except for the fact that this cooler holds five standard 12-ounce cans. Michigan residents tell me that this must have been intentional on the part of the Detroit-based Aztek designers, because Michiganders are expected to chug one beer out of a sixer as they walk from the liquor store to the car in the parking lot Â… which makes me extra cautious whenever I'm driving in the Wolverine State.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
