1966 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 on 2040-cars
Arlington, Texas, United States
The drive train was totally gone through during the restoration as was the suspension and brakes. All the bright work was restored and all the glass appears new. The entire interior has been replaced with new reproduction items including seats, door panels, carpet, headliner and
dash. The body was stripped, restored and repainted. THERE IS NO RUST IN THIS CAR. I have the PHS documentation on
this car and it goes with the car. The motor is a correct coded "WG" 421. (421/4-barrel-manual transmission) To
my knowledge it is the original motor. It currently has a correct 66 tri-power on it. The car is optioned nicely
with Power Steering, Power Brakes, Head Rest Bucket Seats (very rare), console, factory tachometer, gauge package,
wood wheel, and correct 8-lug wheels. The restorer installed after market gauges under the dash. I don't know
why. It has 2 1/2" aluminized exhaust and headers. It also has what I believe to be flow master mufflers. It has
a beautiful throaty sound. I also think it has a more performance cam than the original. This car performs
extremely well and drives and handles very well. I believe it has a 342 rear but am not positive. I believe you
could drive it any where.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
