Up for auction is our 60 Pontiac Catalina 4-door sedan ALL ORIGINAL SURVIVOR. 1960 was a great year for Pontiac Motor Division, it was their first year for the full grill that was not split in the center. It was also the beginning of the true "wide track" body.
The condition of this car is truly amazing. The body is absolutely 100% rust free and straight as an arrow. The paint is all original with the exception of the front of the hood, it looks like it was spot painted years ago and the match is very good. Im guessing it was due to a scratch, as there was no body work. The rest of the original paint is all very nice and still has a shine. All of the stainless, chrome plating and molding are original and perfect with no pits or scratches. The rear bumper does have a very small dent down low that is hard to notice. All of the glass is original and perfect. Even the windshield is perfect with no chips or wiper blade scratches.
The interior is also all original and has never had any restoration work. The door panels and dash look new. The seats are also very nice with VERY light wear on the drivers side that is almost not noticeable. The floor is the original rubber mat with carpet inserts sewn over the transmission and driveline tunnel. The rubber mats have very little wear with a few small splits. NOS original mats are included with the car if you desire perfect floors. The gauges all look new and all work perfect. Even the "cold" light works. The radio, wipers, horns, signal cancels, heater and lights work perfect. The steering wheels is absolutely perfect with the transparent green clear portion not cracked or faded. The headliner and visors are also nice with no tears.
Under the hood is untouched and all original. I had the starter, generator, carburator and wiper motor rebuilt. Nothing under the hood has ever been spray painted or messed with. The engine runs like a top. Always starts perfect and sounds very nice with no valve or strange noises. It idles smooth, has great power and does not smoke at all. Transmission shifts like new and has clean fluid. Brakes work perfect and dont pull at all. The suspension is tight and smooth. Going over rail road tracks are quiet with no squeaks or rattles. It does have new BFG wide white wall tires with new shocks and a new exhaust system done to factory specs. Sounds quiet like a new 60 Pontiac!
I have owned this car for several years and have really enjoyed owning it. Everywhere I drive it I get thumbs up and everyone always thinks its restored. I have driven it to several large shows and it's always the only car of it's type there. I like being different and unique at car shows and not being one of many, 57 chevys! The survivor trend is getting big, its hard to find cars this original and this nice. There are many "Survivor only" shows where these cars are getting lots of recognition. This is a car that ready to enjoy that is very unique and affordable. Ive been told "too bad its a four door", my response to that is; "This car is perfect as it is, because I can load up my friends and family and we can all go out to dinner, a show or a drive in the mountains together. We have tons of trunk space for our stuff and it makes for a great time and thats what owning a classic car is all about!" If you have questions please call 303 475-4544. I have a clear Colorado title

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
