1965 - Pontiac Catalina on 2040-cars
Youngsville, New York, United States
1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2. I own the car 7 1/2 years and am basically the second owner. The original owner sold it "for a song" to a neighbor who then quickly flipped it to me. I purchased the car with 74,687 miles and at present the car has exactly 75,963 miles. That's right, just a little over 1,000 miles in 7 1/2 years! I simply do not use the car enough so it's time to let someone else enjoy this great car. Until I purchased the car, it resided in Washington state. From what I've learned, Washington is a "no salt" state. This explains why the car has zero rust anywhere. The frame, floor pans, trunk pan, sheet metal, you name it are in superb, rust free condition. About a year or so after the purchase, I decided to have the car repainted with the very rare, original color Mission Beige, code VV. The new paint job remains beautiful and the car is always covered and garaged. I had the correct double red pinstripes correctly positioned and painted on, too. I had the bumpers re-chromed, bought new emblems (I have the originals), and purchased an NOS tail panel (3,200.00). According to the PHS documents, the car was originally ordered without a side view mirror. So, it appears the original owner purchased a less expensive dealer installed mirror which is on the car now. The original black interior is basically flawless and in beautiful condition. All parts are in wonderful shape including the headliner, dash pad, dashboard, seats, seat belts, door panels, manual console with 421 emblem, and wooden steering wheel. I had most of the suspension replaced including all front end parts, shocks, springs, bushings, etc. As do most of these big poncho's, this car rides beautifully, too. Last spring of 2014, I decided to have the original WG 421 motor rebuilt. The new rebuild includes '69 GTO 48 heads and many high quality performance parts. I have the sales receipt delineating all of the parts including a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam kit, Manley rods and valves, Clevite bearings, Keith Black ICON pistons, BOP rear main seal and much, much, more. (I'd be glad to show any prospective buyer my engine parts sales receipts and to have you talk with my engine builder and machinist.) I kept the original 76 heads, intake, Carter 625 cfm carb, and valve covers if the buyer wants them. I had an 8 bolt Flow Kooler water pump installed, along with a correct seven blade clutch fan, re-cored original radiator, rebuilt original alternator, and mini high torque starter. I purchased from "RARE", (Ram Air Restorations) and had installed, ceramic coated, D-port long branch manifolds, and their entire custom fit dual exhaust system as well. I bought the longer mufflers so the system sounds great; not too loud and it doesn't drone, either. I installed a new, correct, professionally built 1965 tri- power system. The air cleaners and filters are reproductions as too are the valve covers. Also, I painstakingly, correctly detailed the engine compartment and I think it looks great. I placed a 421 emblem on the radiator finger guard because I like how it looks. According to who you talk to, the emblem on the finger guard may or may not be correct. I installed a new reproduction under hood insulation pad, too. The car has the original 3 speed manual transmission as well as the original Hurst "mystery shifter." The 3.42 Safe-T-Track posi rear was recently rebuilt. The wheels are 15" steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps. In my opinion and in the opinion of others who really know this car, it is a bonfide example of a high quality, show worthy 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

6 car mashups that God never intended
Sat, May 17 2014In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
