FOR SALE 1964 PONTIAC CATALINA 2 DR SPORTS COUPE NO RESERVE
This is a running 64 Catalina that, while it has received a lot of treatment, still needs some work. This has been a project car of mine that I purchased out of Virginia 7 years ago. It has many swapped parts to enable it to be in running driver condition, but at this point it has grown beyond my capacity to store and complete the project to its finality so I'm moving it down the line. Some history and info... When I first purchased the car the front bench seat was worn through, along with an absent headliner and intact door panels, carpeting and rear headrest. The car, while originally featured a champaign mist interior and exterior, was repainted a forrest green metallic which closely resembles a factory color. The engine is a 389 V8 with a 2 bbl carb with just over 90,000 miles on it. I swapped it out (along with the matching slim jim transmission) from a 64 4 dr parts car that was in much better running condition but sold as scrap after a front end collision. Along with the engine and transmission, I also swapped out a new front seat (Ventura option, aqua, bench), a sturdy hood and trunk, as well as a rear bumper and the driver's side tail light assembly. Replaced the dashboard wiring harness, rewired most of what was under the hood, and replaced the radiator for a brand new aluminum one. Also added some badass Cragars that have since gotten rusty. Unfortunately while the car was parked on the street someone had clipped the driver's side rear tail light which in turn, bent the long trim piece that is absent from pictures (but still have), and pinched the rear quarter panel. Mechanically speaking, the car needs a little bit of work and while it does run nicely, the car needs a new set of brakes. They do work, they're just old and should be replaced. Another undeniable necessity for this car is to acquire a new frame. While I had hopes that it could be patched up, most mechanics that have seen the car have all agreed on the inevitable purchase of a solid frame to get the car where it needs to be on a safety and legal standard. I restored the dashboard about 5 years ago with plans of going black/silver for the rest of the interior but never acquired the right colored matching parts. As you can see, car is non AC but does have the heater and radio intact. Last I checked the heater worked but not the radio or lighter. Installed an after market sony cd player and the car is wired for sound. The passenger's floor pan was replaced just after I bought the car, as well as a spot or two in the trunk. Otherwise the front and back floors are solid. As far as the outside goes, the passenger's side exterior is remarkably straight and rust free, while the driver's side is a different story. Fortunately it only involves a rust spot in front of the rear wheel well, so if you plan to replace the quarter panel from the prior accident damage than the rest of the body is solid and ready for a new paint job. Along with the car, I will also be posting some ads for extra parts that I have accumulated over the years of this project, including dash boards, tail lights, multiple interior items and accessories, trim and more. Contact if buyer wants the lot for a pontiac parts store. Surfing the net recently, I've seen 64 Catalinas that aren't even running going for around $3,000 in much rougher shape than this one, so if you've had your eye on a Poncho project car that is about half way complete than this one is a good driver to start with. I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to ask! Car and title $2,500 |

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe
Sat, Jun 11 2022General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale
Fri, Dec 5 2014Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.
