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 |

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You 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.
