You are bidding on a Custom and Rather Rare, Nicely Optioned 1964 Pontiac Catalina Ventura. There weren’t many of this model produced to begin with and the survivors are few and far between. This car has, over the past several years, gone through a FULL RESTORATION that was completed this past spring. This eye catching Base Coat/Clear Coat Reverse Scallop Teal Green over Sunlit Sand Pearl Silver paint scheme and Interior was chosen to respectfully pay tribute to the Custom Street Rods and Low Riders of yesteryear yet still retain some of its classic original features. The chassis has been lowered two (2) inches in the front giving this car a very aggressive stance. This car was undercoated from the factory and still retains most of that original undercoating. The underside of the car has been cleaned and re-undercoated and the frame repainted in flat black. The entire underside of the car has been detailed and is nearly as nice as the topside. A brand new gas tank with new sending unit and pickup has been installed. The engine and automatic transmission have been completely rebuilt. The A/C system has been completely gone through, restored as needed and on a 90 degree sunny day produces a BONE CHILLING 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT THE VENTS!!!  The A/C systems of today’s cars cannot even compete!!!

Other than the paint and interior some of the other custom features of this car include the 64 Grand Prix headlight bezels, grill and parking lights as well as 64 Grand Prix rear fender extensions, backup and tail lights and rear finned chrome bezel. Red LED lights were installed in the rear finned bezel in place of the factory GP tail lights and inside the GP backup lights. Brand new backup lights were installed in the factory Catalina bumper locations. Door handles and door mounted mirrors have been shaved and Custom mini roadster mirrors have been modified and mounted on the vent window frames. Door poppers have been installed to open the doors. A remote is included for the door poppers.

KMC 17x8 Chrome Billet Venom Wheels wrapped in low profile Kumho Ecsta ASX tires were chosen to complete the LOW, SLEEK, STALKING LOOK!!!

The seats and door panels are reverse scalloped in silver to carry through the exterior paint scheme.

The 1964 VENTURA was a sub-model of the Catalina line of cars and was designed to be a sporty classy version of the Catalina with the factory tri-tone interior and all of the available chrome features offered on the Catalina.

Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?

Sun, Feb 4 2018

It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The 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.
