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. |

Burt Reynolds Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am sells for $450k
Mon, Dec 15 2014Apparently, there's still a lot of love out there for by Burt Reynolds and his famous role in Smokey and the Bandit – or at least for his car. As you might remember, Autoblog reported on the auction of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a few week ago. At the time, the movie star's car was already well past its $80,000 top estimate, and bidding only shot up from there for a final price of $450,000. That seems like a lot of money for a Trans Am that never actually appears in Smokey and the Bandit. According to the listing, the car was used to promote the film and was given to Reynolds afterward with his name on the title as proof of ownership. The Trans Am looks practically identical to the one in the movie with black paint, the gold firebird on the hood and Bandit name on the driver's door. This one packs a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood, an automatic transmission and a plaque inside the door that proclaims "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds." The wedding stagecoach based on an International Harvester Scout we mentioned in the earlier story also beat its top estimate of $20,000. It went for $34,375, according to the auction house's website, and in total the sale raised about $2.5 million. Scroll down to read the full announcement from Julien's Auctions. LEGENDARY STAR BURT REYNOLDS PROVES TO BE AS ICONIC AS HIS AUCTION RESULTS "Smokey and the Bandit" Trans Am Sells for $450,000 Career Memorabilia including Awards, Personal Items and Film Worn Costumes along with Vast Art Collection from Reynolds Museum Caliber Private Collection Featured at Julien's Auctions This Week Brings in $2.5 million Las Vegas, Nevada – (December 15, 2014) – Julien's Auctions, the auction house to the stars concluded a whirlwind two-day auction of The Collection of Award Winning Actor Burt Reynolds. The exciting auction event featuring personal effects, career memorabilia, and a museum-caliber fine art collection took place at the Palms Casino Resort Thursday and Friday with bidders from around the world bidding high and bidding often. Burt Reynolds, best known as a leading film star, has had a storied career both on the big and small screen. Aside from his award winning portrayals of some of the world's most iconic characters in film and television, Reynolds is also a businessman who has owned a football team, a dinner theatre, a working ranch and even a museum.
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
