This car is a looker with the convertible top down or up.... simply stunning. The official color is Castillion Bronze. The car has been kept in a garage since it received a fantastic paint job eight years ago, restoring its shine and keeping true to the original color. It is very clear when you see the car that extra special care has been taken to keep this classic in amazing condition. This classic will get you plenty of looks and the attention of everyone around town, at work, in your neighborhood, etc. Even better, you can turn back the clocks and feel like it's the early 1970's all over again, cruising around in the Catalina with the top down. One lucky buyer will find out, the pictures of this car, don't even do the car justice!
This classic is about 99% original. The car has been a weekend driver for the majority of its life and that helps to explain its amazing original condition and the mileage. The car has been entirely owned in North Carolina until eight years ago, when it was purchased by one owner in Maryland. This Pontiac Catalina Convertible is powered by an original 350 cubic inch engine with 2 barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. Special options on this care include turbo hydra matic transmission, Rally II Wheels, power steering and air conditioning. The car is believed to have matching numbers throughout. There are no known leaks to report. The car is currently sitting in a private garage and has just had minor repairs to bring it up to peak running condition. The engine compartment and undercarriage are very clan, but not professionally detailed. The title is clear and ready to be transferred to a new owner.
The buyer will also be getting some very nice original documentation! Included is the sales letter to the original owner from Pontiac congratulating him on his purchase dated May 7, 1971. Plenty of inspection reports available as well to document the mileage as being accurate as reported.
EXTERIOR/INTERIOR
As you can tell from the photos, the exterior and interior are exceptional for a 1971 model car. The paint look great and there is no known bondo on the car. The Catalina has original Rally II wheels and Uniroyal Tiger Paw M&S P235/7OR 15 tires with only approximately 5,000 miles on them. The glass, seals, and trim are all original and look to be in fine condition. The horn, wipers turn signals, lights and locks all work. The Catalina Convertible had a new soft top and the electric motor replaced before it left North Carolina eight years ago. It has the original AM/FM stereo with 8 track cassette player (it was working the last time the former owner tried it). The interior is excellent, the vinyl seats are extremely comfortable and both the front and back seat look like they have hardly had a passenger sitting in them. One modern addition to the Catalina that works well if you can't find your stash of 8 track cassettes, is the installation of a Pioner CD player mounted under the dash. This Pioner CD player is believed to be XM satellite capable as well.
VEHICLE CONDITION:
Not much to say about the vehicle other than check out the pictures and only 30,429 miles! The paint job on this car is terrific and has just been waxed and detailed inside and out and restores the beauty of this car like the Fountain of Youth. No rust issues were observed upon inspection by the shop that just completed the minor repairs on the car. The dash looks great. The cosmetic and electrical components of the convertible top have been replaced. What can we say...... This is the nicest classic Catalina we've ever seen and whoever buys this car will be smiling from ear to ear every time they walk into the garage!

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

NASCAR 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.

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
