Up for bid is a 1967 Pontiac Catalina, 2-dr sedan with the rare center post. Only 5633 of this style were produced with the lowest production model of all the full size vehicles for that year. This car started life out originally as a 400 2V carb, 290HP, code YC with single exhaust. The same matching #'s motor was upgraded with an Edelbrock 625 CFM carb but still using a factory 400 4V cast iron manifold. Other upgrades include dual-exhaust, 3.23 limited slip rear-end, Turbo 400 trans, original type A/C unit which blows very cold, a complete gauge package dash out of a 67 Ventura 2+2. NOTE: The temp gauge does not work, but an after market type was installed along with a small tac. Front disc brakes were added as was a power antenna and lowering springs. Vehicle also has a drivers side remote mirror.
Tires are 215/60/R15 and about 2 years old with less than 500 miles, along with the Chevy type rally wheels and center caps. Car was recently painted the original color of Montreaux Blue with 2-stage base coat, clear coat and buffed out. A new reproduction rear package tray was also installed, along with new NOS headlight bezels. Other mechanical upgrades include a new 3-core aluminum radiator, front rotors turned with new pads, new fuel sending unit and factory type mufflers with turn-downs. The original glass is in nice shape with no cracks or chips, original interior of headliner, sunvisors, door panels are still in decent shape after 46+ years. The seats and original carpeting are beginning to show their age, but not bad for everyday use, or occasional cruises. Drivers side windlace is also beginning to show its age. Passenger side is fine. The original steering wheel will need a full re-cast. I have a brand new in the box steering wheel cover, the lace type from way back. Body wise, there are still some small dings here and there, but overall the body is in good solid shape with very little surface rust and no rot. Solid floors, frame and trunk with little pitting. There is a small oil leak coming from either the front of the oil pan or the timing chain cover. No leaks or unusual sounds from the trans or rear-end. Rear bumper could use a re-chrome and still has some shine. Front bumper shows well but is starting to show signs of peeling. The stainless steel trim is in nice shape with small dings here and there. The car runs excellent, stops well and shifts fine. Motor was recently steam-cleaned and detailed as you can see. Previous owner said the car has about 100-105K but cannot really be confirmed. There are numerous notes of what type of maintenance or repairs were made to the car over the years. The car is a pleasure to drive and very comfortable. Vehicle has a clear title in my name with current registration and no back fees. The following are the original parts that came with the car. Original instrument panel with dash pad, valve covers, radiator (still worked well when upgraded to 3-core), 2V manifold, Rochester carb and air-cleaner. Original 14" steel wheels with dog-dish caps, fender skirts in very nice shape and original owners manual. These are extra parts the previous owner acquired over the years. Radiator support shield, bell housing cover, new power brake booster, (4) stainless steel trim rings, set of M/T valve covers, (1) rear bumper with excellent chrome with some dents, a complete stainless steel center post window trim (very hard to find), a brand new engine gasket kit, (4) extra headlight bezels, door weather stripping, glove-box insert, (2) new tailight lenses, (1) tailight housing, (2) complete tailight housing units with lenses, some new front-end parts, drive-shaft and a new set of outside door handles. I have placed a reasonable reserve on the car, based on overall condition and rarity. if you have any questions, please send an e-mail, or call me direct at (408) 448-1717. I accept PayPal for a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 and must be received within 24-hrs at the close of auction. Balance can be made with cash in person, a cashier's check and/or money order. Winning bidder is responsible for their own shipping of vehicle. |

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction
Sat, Apr 4 2020Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction. As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country. In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer. The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.

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.

Fri, Apr 9 2021This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers.
