Up for bid is a 1967 Pontiac Catalina, 2-dr sedan with the rare center post. Only 5633 of this style were produced with the lowest production model of all the full size vehicles for that year. This car started life out originally as a 400 2V carb, 290HP, code YC with single exhaust. The same matching #'s motor was upgraded with an Edelbrock 625 CFM carb but still using a factory 400 4V cast iron manifold. Other upgrades include dual-exhaust, 3.23 limited slip rear-end, Turbo 400 trans, original type A/C unit which blows very cold, a complete gauge package dash out of a 67 Ventura 2+2. NOTE: The temp gauge does not work, but an after market type was installed along with a small tac. Front disc brakes were added as was a power antenna and lowering springs. Vehicle also has a drivers side remote mirror.
Tires are 215/60/R15 and about 2 years old with less than 500 miles, along with the Chevy type rally wheels and center caps. Car was recently painted the original color of Montreaux Blue with 2-stage base coat, clear coat and buffed out. A new reproduction rear package tray was also installed, along with new NOS headlight bezels. Other mechanical upgrades include a new 3-core aluminum radiator, front rotors turned with new pads, new fuel sending unit and factory type mufflers with turn-downs. The original glass is in nice shape with no cracks or chips, original interior of headliner, sunvisors, door panels are still in decent shape after 46+ years. The seats and original carpeting are beginning to show their age, but not bad for everyday use, or occasional cruises. Drivers side windlace is also beginning to show its age. Passenger side is fine. The original steering wheel will need a full re-cast. I have a brand new in the box steering wheel cover, the lace type from way back. Body wise, there are still some small dings here and there, but overall the body is in good solid shape with very little surface rust and no rot. Solid floors, frame and trunk with little pitting. There is a small oil leak coming from either the front of the oil pan or the timing chain cover. No leaks or unusual sounds from the trans or rear-end. Rear bumper could use a re-chrome and still has some shine. Front bumper shows well but is starting to show signs of peeling. The stainless steel trim is in nice shape with small dings here and there. The car runs excellent, stops well and shifts fine. Motor was recently steam-cleaned and detailed as you can see. Previous owner said the car has about 100-105K but cannot really be confirmed. There are numerous notes of what type of maintenance or repairs were made to the car over the years. The car is a pleasure to drive and very comfortable. Vehicle has a clear title in my name with current registration and no back fees. The following are the original parts that came with the car. Original instrument panel with dash pad, valve covers, radiator (still worked well when upgraded to 3-core), 2V manifold, Rochester carb and air-cleaner. Original 14" steel wheels with dog-dish caps, fender skirts in very nice shape and original owners manual. These are extra parts the previous owner acquired over the years. Radiator support shield, bell housing cover, new power brake booster, (4) stainless steel trim rings, set of M/T valve covers, (1) rear bumper with excellent chrome with some dents, a complete stainless steel center post window trim (very hard to find), a brand new engine gasket kit, (4) extra headlight bezels, door weather stripping, glove-box insert, (2) new tailight lenses, (1) tailight housing, (2) complete tailight housing units with lenses, some new front-end parts, drive-shaft and a new set of outside door handles. I have placed a reasonable reserve on the car, based on overall condition and rarity. if you have any questions, please send an e-mail, or call me direct at (408) 448-1717. I accept PayPal for a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 and must be received within 24-hrs at the close of auction. Balance can be made with cash in person, a cashier's check and/or money order. Winning bidder is responsible for their own shipping of vehicle. |

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
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.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan
Sun, Jun 28 2020The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.
