1968 Pontiac Catalina Convt on 2040-cars
Pinellas Park, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a great running and driving 1968 Pontiac Catalina Convertible that is close to being an incredible car with the new owners touch! It has a lot of potential without breaking the bank and can be driven anywhere. It has a 400 ci V-8, 4bbl carb, TH400 automatic transmission, power Top, Cold A/C that has been converted to 134A. We have owned this car since 2006 and has been driven to the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona Florida several years without problems. This is a great running driving car that has good manners, stops on a dime and very reliable.
The 400 ci engine and TH400 trans were both rebuilt in 2008. The front suspension components were rebuilt, replaced and all hard parts were blasted and painted as well as the front and rear brakes. This car has a fairly new exhaust system including lead pipe, muffler, and tailpipe. This car rolls on factory GM Pontiac Rally wheels that were restored and mounted on 215/70/15 Dunlop Signature Radials that have more than 90% tread life. The interior of the car is Ivy Gold and is in decent original condition. The carpet has been replaced recently as well as the correct dash knobs. There is no factory radio although a Sony AM/FM/CD player was installed under the dash. At the same time the seats were recovered in factory materials and color and a Billet Steering wheel was installed. The door panels are in fair condition please look at the pictures. The original black top does have a tear on top. this car has new power top rams, hoses, and correct power top switch and works great. All options and accesories work as they should. The Body of the car is very solid. As you can see in the pictures the front clip of the car and trunk lid has had body work done and painted the factory color. This was done 6 years ago by Color Concepts in Clearwater FL. The glass in the car is all factory and the windshield has a small crack between panes on the top passenger corner although all other glass is in great condition. A new front bumper was installed along with NOS front and rear lower valances. There is a ding in the top of the hood and normal wear along the other panels. The only rust in the car is in the rear quarters, above the rear wheel openings and starting on the rear tail panel. I have factory sheetmetal off another car for some of the repair panels. he floor panels, frame, and trunk pans are clean and rust free. Included with the car are numerous extra parts such as NOS tail light lenses, extra NOS Chrome pieces, new convertible top well, extra decklid, fender wells, dash parts, new roof rail weatherstrips, Etc. To sum things up this is a great solid piece of Detroit craftsmanship that can easily be brought back to perfection by someone with the time to finish. Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. you can email me or call Aaron at 727-424-0392 It is the winning bidders responsibility to arrange and pay for shipping or I would be willing to pick someone up at nearby Airport so they could drive the car home. Thanks and Good Luck bidding! |

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
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.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
