Waukegan, Illinois, United States
You
are bidding on a Custom and Rather Rare, Nicely Optioned 1964 Pontiac
Catalina Ventura. There weren’t many of this model produced to begin with
and the survivors are few and far between. This car has, over the past several
years, gone through a FULL RESTORATION that
was completed this past spring. This eye catching Base Coat/Clear Coat Reverse
Scallop Teal Green over Sunlit Sand Pearl Silver paint scheme and
Interior was chosen to respectfully pay tribute to the Custom Street Rods and
Low Riders of yesteryear yet still retain some of its classic original
features. The chassis has been lowered two (2) inches in the front giving this
car a very aggressive stance. This car was undercoated from the factory and
still retains most of that original undercoating. The underside of the car has
been cleaned and re-undercoated and the frame repainted in flat black. The
entire underside of the car has been detailed and is nearly as nice as the
topside. A brand new gas tank with new sending unit and pickup has been
installed. The engine and automatic transmission have been completely rebuilt.
The A/C system has been completely gone through, restored as needed and on a 90
degree sunny day produces a BONE
CHILLING 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT THE VENTS!!! The
A/C systems of today’s cars cannot even compete!!! Other
than the paint and interior some of the other custom features of this car
include the 64 Grand Prix headlight bezels, grill and parking lights as well as
64 Grand Prix rear fender extensions, backup and tail lights and rear finned
chrome bezel. Red LED lights were installed in the rear finned bezel in place
of the factory GP tail lights and inside the GP backup lights. Brand new backup
lights were installed in the factory Catalina bumper locations. Door handles
and door mounted mirrors have been shaved and Custom mini roadster mirrors have
been modified and mounted on the vent window frames. Door poppers have been
installed to open the doors. A remote is included for the door poppers. KMC

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Sell Your Own: 2006 Pontiac GTO

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
