Up for sale is a really amazing ORIGINAL UNRESTORED "SURVIVOR" CAR! This is a 1969 Pontiac Catalina 2dr hardtop sport coupe! It was one owner until I purchased it. Actually, even though I have had it in my collection, I still have the original owner title, along with the notary forms that allow me to transfer the car from me to you. So actually, whoever ends up buying this beauty and registering it will technically be the second owner of this Catalina! How often does that happen on a 45 year old car? Car has always been garaged, and is in amazing unrestored original condition! It has 85% of its original light green paint that still holds a great shine! The original chrome and bright work are still excellent! Engine compartment is all original, as is interior. Trunk is also original unrestored, except that there is a reproduction trunk mat. Original mat is still there, and intact, but is a bit worn, so they put the repro on top of it for show purposes. The original owners purchased this car to tow their camper trailer and boat trailer. Catalina is equipped as follows: 1. 400 Cubic Inch Pontiac V8, 2bbl, runs well on today's fuels, but still has gobs of power and torque! 2. Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission (smooth and bullet-proof if you know these units) 3. Power Steering & Power Brakes 4. Cordova Vinyl Top 5. AM Radio 6. Deluxe Interior with Comfort Weave cloth seat inserts 7. Optional factory Fender Skirts (NOT repros, but have been with car since new). I like the non-skirt look, but they are included for those who like them. They fit great! 8. Heavy Duty Cooling and Heavy Duty Tow Package. The tow package was installed when the car was new at the dealership. It features transmission cooler, trailer brakes, air shocks, and HD tow hitch. I have all the original factory and dealership brochures and receipts for this. 9.; Original green "arrowhead" Pontiac accessory floor mats still in nice shape. These alone are worth a small fortune to a GTO or Firebird guy as they are not reproduced in green! This Wide Track also has a couple very neat nostalgic Period Correct add on aftermarket accessories: An FM Converter and 8 Track Stereo Unit as well as a vintage CB Radio. These were installed shortly after the car was new! Best of all, to my knowledge everything still works! The stereo definitely does. I turned on the CB and got some noise and chatter out of it. Have not been ablke to try the trailer brakes, but everything seems to be there and in good order. In addition to the aforementioned original owner title for the car, I also have a thick file folder with every repair receipt and service record for the car since new in 1969! These document original ownership and odometer mileage. Also have all factory books, Protecto Plate, and brochures etc. This is truly one of the most original and documented cars I have seen in a long time! The body is super straight, original, and rust free! I have not found any rot or Bondo. All original body panels, floor pan, trunk pan etc. Undercarriage is also nice and original, not flaky or scaly like many you see. Like any used car, there are some small nicks and dings from people opening doors up over the years, etc., but in my opinion, this Catalina looks better at 45 years old than many 5 year old cars I have seen. Interior is super nice, not faded. Dash, door panels, headliner are all super nice, not cracked, faded, or torn. Original carpets look great. Seats are very nice and comfortable. Instrument panel also looks spectacular! Last week I drove this car on a 150 mile trip, 55 to 70 MPH interstate driving. It is smooth, sure footed and powerful, just like you would expect one of these vintage Pontiacs to be! No issues that I could see. It was like sitting in your living room! Has 74,000 original miles, but could pass for half of that! For a full sized car, it handles remarkably well, without a lot of roll or body lean. Very smooth, even at 70 MPH! I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere! These original "Survivor" cars are really the hot thing in the collector car hobby. Anyone can write checks and over-restore a derelict, but they are only original once! This car has many possibilities for enjoyment in the collector car hobby: 1. Use it as the ultimate hauler to tow your GTO or Firebird "trailer queen" to car shows! 2. Use it as the ultimate and unique low priced tow vehicle to tow virtually anything smaller than the Queen Mary or the Empire State Building! LOL! 3. It would be a great car for vintage collector car tours 4. Use it to compete in the HPOF (AACA Historic Preservation of Original Features) or "Survivor" class at antique car shows 5. Use it for all of the above! Don't miss this opportunity to buy an honest to goodness original, 1 owner unrestored vintage Pontiac with all documentation at a price that won't break the bank!

I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles. Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival. I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s. |

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids
Tue, May 29 2018Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
