1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2. I own the car 7 1/2 years and am basically the second owner. The original owner sold it "for a song" to a neighbor who then quickly flipped it to me. I purchased the car with 74,687 miles and at present the car has exactly 75,963 miles. That's right, just a little over 1,000 miles in 7 1/2 years! I simply do not use the car enough so it's time to let someone else enjoy this great car. Until I purchased the car, it resided in Washington state. From what I've learned, Washington is a "no salt" state. This explains why the car has zero rust anywhere. The frame, floor pans, trunk pan, sheet metal, you name it are in superb, rust free condition. About a year or so after the purchase, I decided to have the car repainted with the very rare, original color Mission Beige, code VV. The new paint job remains beautiful and the car is always covered and garaged. I had the correct double red pinstripes correctly positioned and painted on, too. I had the bumpers re-chromed, bought new emblems (I have the originals), and purchased an NOS tail panel (3,200.00). According to the PHS documents, the car was originally ordered without a side view mirror. So, it appears the original owner purchased a less expensive dealer installed mirror which is on the car now. The original black interior is basically flawless and in beautiful condition. All parts are in wonderful shape including the headliner, dash pad, dashboard, seats, seat belts, door panels, manual console with 421 emblem, and wooden steering wheel. I had most of the suspension replaced including all front end parts, shocks, springs, bushings, etc. As do most of these big poncho's, this car rides beautifully, too. Last spring of 2014, I decided to have the original WG 421 motor rebuilt. The new rebuild includes '69 GTO 48 heads and many high quality performance parts. I have the sales receipt delineating all of the parts including a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam kit, Manley rods and valves, Clevite bearings, Keith Black ICON pistons, BOP rear main seal and much, much, more. (I'd be glad to show any prospective buyer my engine parts sales receipts and to have you talk with my engine builder and machinist.) I kept the original 76 heads, intake, Carter 625 cfm carb, and valve covers if the buyer wants them. I had an 8 bolt Flow Kooler water pump installed, along with a correct seven blade clutch fan, re-cored original radiator, rebuilt original alternator, and mini high torque starter. I purchased from "RARE", (Ram Air Restorations) and had installed, ceramic coated, D-port long branch manifolds, and their entire custom fit dual exhaust system as well. I bought the longer mufflers so the system sounds great; not too loud and it doesn't drone, either. I installed a new, correct, professionally built 1965 tri- power system. The air cleaners and filters are reproductions as too are the valve covers. Also, I painstakingly, correctly detailed the engine compartment and I think it looks great. I placed a 421 emblem on the radiator finger guard because I like how it looks. According to who you talk to, the emblem on the finger guard may or may not be correct. I installed a new reproduction under hood insulation pad, too. The car has the original 3 speed manual transmission as well as the original Hurst "mystery shifter." The 3.42 Safe-T-Track posi rear was recently rebuilt. The wheels are 15" steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps. In my opinion and in the opinion of others who really know this car, it is a bonfide example of a high quality, show worthy 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
