Waukegan, Illinois, United States
You
are bidding on a Custom and Rather Rare, Nicely Optioned 1964 Pontiac
Catalina Ventura. There weren’t many of this model produced to begin with
and the survivors are few and far between. This car has, over the past several
years, gone through a FULL RESTORATION that
was completed this past spring. This eye catching Base Coat/Clear Coat Reverse
Scallop Teal Green over Sunlit Sand Pearl Silver paint scheme and
Interior was chosen to respectfully pay tribute to the Custom Street Rods and
Low Riders of yesteryear yet still retain some of its classic original
features. The chassis has been lowered two (2) inches in the front giving this
car a very aggressive stance. This car was undercoated from the factory and
still retains most of that original undercoating. The underside of the car has
been cleaned and re-undercoated and the frame repainted in flat black. The
entire underside of the car has been detailed and is nearly as nice as the
topside. A brand new gas tank with new sending unit and pickup has been
installed. The engine and automatic transmission have been completely rebuilt.
The A/C system has been completely gone through, restored as needed and on a 90
degree sunny day produces a BONE
CHILLING 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT THE VENTS!!! The
A/C systems of today’s cars cannot even compete!!! Other
than the paint and interior some of the other custom features of this car
include the 64 Grand Prix headlight bezels, grill and parking lights as well as
64 Grand Prix rear fender extensions, backup and tail lights and rear finned
chrome bezel. Red LED lights were installed in the rear finned bezel in place
of the factory GP tail lights and inside the GP backup lights. Brand new backup
lights were installed in the factory Catalina bumper locations. Door handles
and door mounted mirrors have been shaved and Custom mini roadster mirrors have
been modified and mounted on the vent window frames. Door poppers have been

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.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
