1968 Pontiac Catalina 2 Door Fastback on 2040-cars
Hesperia, California, United States
|
For sale is this 1968 Pontiac Catalina 2 door fastback restoration project. Lets start with the body first. Original color looks like it was blue. The previous owner who I got the car from tried to paint the car white himself, and did a terrible job. He had no idea what he was doing. It has runs, and in some places, it looks like he used a brush. The good thing is, it has a fairly strait body, with no bondo or body work done that I can find. It is rust free, with good floor boards, good trunk and especially around the back window area inside and out. It's solid. The car will definitely have to be sanded down and repainted.
All of the glass is good. The front and rear bumpers look good. The front lower valance will need some work. The rear valance is missing, so is Pontiac Catalina lettering. The interior will also need help. It's missing the lower back seat. The front seat is OK. All of the seat belts are there. It will need things like a carpet kit, headliner, package tray, weather stripping, etc. The door panels look ok. The dash itself looks ok, but the dash pad will need redone. The engine is the original 400 2 barrel. It starts and runs good. The trans is the turbo 400 and it shifts good. Has power steering and power brakes. This is a non AC factory car. The heater core will also have to be replaced. As I stated in the beginning, this is a restoration project. But it look to be a solid candidate for restoration or customize it your own way. Please understand I've tried describe the car as best I can from what I see and know. It is NOT perfect nor do I make any claim that it is. It will need restoration. Please ask all questions you might have before bidding. Please make sure you have the funds available before placing a bid and that you have permission from you wife, mother husband or whoever. If you have just joined ebay, please email me with your intentions before bidding. The car is sold "as is where is " with NO warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due at auction close with balance due within 5 days. Thanks for looking |

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
