1960 Pontiac Catalina Base 6.4l on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
This is a 1960 Pontiac Catalina which is in all original condition with very low mileage at 28k. The only things changed are the rims and tires, but the original hubcaps will be included with car.I bought this car from California with the intention to put a little money into it and use it as a daily driver during the summer months. but I have not found the time to do anything to it and I have two kids in college which are sucking me dry :-) Here's the deal on this car as far as condition. The car is very solid with some surface rust that has recently started to appear and only because its been sitting outside lately.The car is extremely dependable and runs strong. Older cars are known to overheat but this car has been driven long distances without a problem of overheating. everything works on it except for the wipers (very typical). The radio even works great and sounds great considering its 54 years old. The windows roll up and down smoothly. interior is clean condition but does show its age. The engine is original and runs very solid with no signs of burning oil. The transmission shifts just as it should. The body as I said before is pretty solid except for a couple area of concern on the front fenders at the tops (look at pictures). The trunk is all original and solid. Body is straight. I could keep going and describing every aspect of car but I'm not! ;-)
All I can say is the car is far from perfect but considering its all original with no Bondo and no modifications it would make for a great car for someone to restore or just put some money in a new paint job and enjoy the car. The car is being sold in As Is condition. If you ask questions I will respond. I'm also selling this call locally and reserve the right to end auction at any time. Thanks for bidding in advance, George On Jun-15-14 at 10:38:54 PDT, seller added the following information: FYI yes the mileage is original! The car was owned by an old couple since new and when she was denied her license renewal by the state of California a neighbor of her purchased it from her and he only drove it for short distances for shopping. When I bought it he told me that the only reason he was selling it is because his daughter was getting married and they needed the money. I have original owners manual and the original documents that came with car upon purchase with sales receipt. That's really cool!!!! Thanks |

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
