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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
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.
