You may never have another chance to purchase a classic Pontiac Catalina Convertible in this condition again! Keep reading - it get better still!

This car is a looker with the convertible top down or up.... simply stunning. The official color is Castillion Bronze. The car has been kept in a garage since it received a fantastic paint job eight years ago, restoring its shine and keeping true to the original color. It is very clear when you see the car that extra special care has been taken to keep this classic in amazing condition. This classic will get you plenty of looks and the attention of everyone around town, at work, in your neighborhood, etc. Even better, you can turn back the clocks and feel like it's the early 1970's all over again, cruising around in the Catalina with the top down. One lucky buyer will find out, the pictures of this car, don't even do the car justice!

This classic is about 99% original. The car has been a weekend driver for the majority of its life and that helps to explain its amazing original condition and the mileage. The car has been entirely owned in North Carolina until eight years ago, when it was purchased by one owner in Maryland. This Pontiac Catalina Convertible is powered by an original 350 cubic inch engine with 2 barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. Special options on this care include turbo hydra matic transmission, Rally II Wheels, power steering and air conditioning. The car is believed to have matching numbers throughout. There are no known leaks to report. The car is currently sitting in a private garage and has just had minor repairs to bring it up to peak running condition. The engine compartment and undercarriage are very clan, but not professionally detailed. The title is clear and ready to be transferred to a new owner.

The buyer will also be getting some very nice original documentation! Included is the sales letter to the original owner from Pontiac congratulating him on his purchase dated May 7, 1971. Plenty of inspection reports available as well to document the mileage as being accurate as reported.

EXTERIOR/INTERIOR

As you can tell from the photos, the exterior and interior are exceptional for a 1971 model car. The paint look great and there is no known bondo on the car. The Catalina has original Rally II wheels and Uniroyal Tiger Paw M&S P235/7OR 15 tires with only approximately 5,000 miles on them. The glass, seals, and trim are all original and look to be in fine condition. The horn, wipers turn signals, lights and locks all work. The Catalina Convertible had a new soft top and the electric motor replaced before it left North Carolina eight years ago. It has the original AM/FM stereo with 8 track cassette player (it was working the last time the former owner tried it). The interior is excellent, the vinyl seats are extremely comfortable and both the front and back seat look like they have hardly had a passenger sitting in them. One modern addition to the Catalina that works well if you can't find your stash of 8 track cassettes, is the installation of a Pioner CD player mounted under the dash. This Pioner CD player is believed to be XM satellite capable as well.

VEHICLE CONDITION:

Not much to say about the vehicle other than check out the pictures and only 30,429 miles! The paint job on this car is terrific and has just been waxed and detailed inside and out and restores the beauty of this car like the Fountain of Youth. No rust issues were observed upon inspection by the shop that just completed the minor repairs on the car. The dash looks great. The cosmetic and electrical components of the convertible top have been replaced. What can we say...... This is the nicest classic Catalina we've ever seen and whoever buys this car will be smiling from ear to ear every time they walk into the garage!

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

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.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General 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.
