1960 Pontiac Catalina Hardtop Running A 500 Cadillac Engine No Reserve Custom on 2040-cars

1960 Pontiac Catalina 4 Door Hardtop My pops is almost 74 years young and is running out of space and the time to drive all these old cars and the upkeep they need, so it is time to sell a few...... This is a 1960 Pontiac Catalina that hasent been driven much in the last 5 years or so although has had a bunch of work done. Prior to being parked the Pontiac had a fresh Cadillac 500 engine installed along with a brand new turbo 400 transmission. Power steering, Power brakes. The interior was done with all new carpets, new headliner and all new upholstery. The brakes were new and all new shocks were installed. The radiator was also new. The Body is pretty straight and looks to still have all its original chrome and stainless, and the only rust seems to be a little in the trunk floor. All the windows go up and down, the car starts right up and sounds great although a little loud with headers/mufflers and no tailpipes. I drove this car around the block and it runs great, starts right up with no rattles or smoke, lots of power, shifts, stops straight, lights/heater/horn all work although the wipers didnt come on. As this car has been parked and not driven, with expired tags for some time I would recommend you trailer it home and do a complete once over and check everything out before you would consider it a daily driver. The paint is usable and does have a little shine but could use a new coat of wax to give it a fresh look... although it was painted years ago and was a cheap job then. We are selling this car at no reserve If you have any questions you can call my dad direct, and he will try to answer them. Bud 541-420-9588 I will be listing his 1950 Cadillac Hardtop in the background next week. It runs and drives and my pops just drove it 60 miles last week.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Tue, Jun 19 2018For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
