1968 Pontiac Catalina Convt on 2040-cars
Pinellas Park, Florida, United States
Up for sale is a great running and driving 1968 Pontiac Catalina Convertible that is close to being an incredible car with the new owners touch! It has a lot of potential without breaking the bank and can be driven anywhere. It has a 400 ci V-8, 4bbl carb, TH400 automatic transmission, power Top, Cold A/C that has been converted to 134A. We have owned this car since 2006 and has been driven to the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona Florida several years without problems. This is a great running driving car that has good manners, stops on a dime and very reliable.
The 400 ci engine and TH400 trans were both rebuilt in 2008. The front suspension components were rebuilt, replaced and all hard parts were blasted and painted as well as the front and rear brakes. This car has a fairly new exhaust system including lead pipe, muffler, and tailpipe. This car rolls on factory GM Pontiac Rally wheels that were restored and mounted on 215/70/15 Dunlop Signature Radials that have more than 90% tread life. The interior of the car is Ivy Gold and is in decent original condition. The carpet has been replaced recently as well as the correct dash knobs. There is no factory radio although a Sony AM/FM/CD player was installed under the dash. At the same time the seats were recovered in factory materials and color and a Billet Steering wheel was installed. The door panels are in fair condition please look at the pictures. The original black top does have a tear on top. this car has new power top rams, hoses, and correct power top switch and works great. All options and accesories work as they should. The Body of the car is very solid. As you can see in the pictures the front clip of the car and trunk lid has had body work done and painted the factory color. This was done 6 years ago by Color Concepts in Clearwater FL. The glass in the car is all factory and the windshield has a small crack between panes on the top passenger corner although all other glass is in great condition. A new front bumper was installed along with NOS front and rear lower valances. There is a ding in the top of the hood and normal wear along the other panels. The only rust in the car is in the rear quarters, above the rear wheel openings and starting on the rear tail panel. I have factory sheetmetal off another car for some of the repair panels. he floor panels, frame, and trunk pans are clean and rust free. Included with the car are numerous extra parts such as NOS tail light lenses, extra NOS Chrome pieces, new convertible top well, extra decklid, fender wells, dash parts, new roof rail weatherstrips, Etc. To sum things up this is a great solid piece of Detroit craftsmanship that can easily be brought back to perfection by someone with the time to finish. Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. you can email me or call Aaron at 727-424-0392 It is the winning bidders responsibility to arrange and pay for shipping or I would be willing to pick someone up at nearby Airport so they could drive the car home. Thanks and Good Luck bidding! |

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.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
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.
