1953 Pontiac Catalina
I will be listing a few cars here in the next week or two for my family. We are reducing are number of cars, so
please see my other listings as well. I am not a dealer.
Just a beautiful original car that has been well cared for by the previous owners. Only 56,787 miles and has been
restored as needed for driving and car shows. We had plans to drive and show this car on a regular basis, but
sometimes life has other plans, and we have decided to sell it to someone who we hope will give it a good home. I
believe this will be both a fun car and a great investment for the next owner! I am a big fan of this body style
and this particular car. I hope to see it go to a good Pontiac home!
This particular model of Pontiac was only available in Laurel Green, Milano Ivory, or a two-tone combination of
these colors. The term "Catalina" was Pontiac's nomenclature for pillar-less hardtop styling.
Details/Features:
268ci Straight Eight Engine (2 Barrel 122 HP)
Hydra-Matic Transmission (4 Speed Automatic)
Factory Power Steering (very rare)
Factory Power Brakes (also rare)
Factory 7-Tube Deluxe Chieftain Radio
In-Dash Electric Clock
Airway Compass
Green and Cream Vinyl Interior
Seat/Safety Belts
Door Handle Shields
Fuel Door Guard
Front and Rear Bumper Guards
Unique Lighted Hood Ornament
Fender Skirts
New Wide White Wall Tires
All-Weather Comfort Ventillation System (under seat heater)
Reverse Lights
Beautiful Inside and Out!
Detailed Engine and Trunk Compartments
Recent check up, tune-up, etc.
The engine idles well, runs quiet, makes good power, and starts well every time. The transmission shifts very
smoothly through all the gears. Steers and stops very easy with the factory power steering and brakes. Drives
straight down the road with no unusual vibrations, pulling, noises, etc. All of the original gauges work. The
radio and horn work too (clock is correct twice daily). The car is an absolute pleasure to own and drive.
Probably drives as close to a 'new' one as you would hope to find!
This Pontiac is a beautiful car everywhere you look (exterior, interior, engine compartment, trunk, etc). Nice
body and under-carriage. Doors open and shut very well. The upholstery is in good condition. This Pontiac would
look great at all your shows and cruise-ins. It has won many awards in the past and should win you more down the
road. It is a combination of older restoration and original. You would be hard pressed to find another one like
this (especially with the PS and PB). Please see the photos and ask what questions you have.
What is the car worth?

+ Hydra-Matic Transmission 5% ($1,465)

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
