1950 Pontiac Catalina 2 Door Coupe Straight 8/auto Trans. Runs & Drives Good ! on 2040-cars

1950 Pontiac Catalina 2 door hard top coupe First year for the Pontiac Hard Top This car has a very strong running straight 8. It drives very well for a car of its age. No issues of start up, overheating or stalling. No excessive oil use or leaks The brake petal is a little soft. The rear brake cylinders have been replaced with new ones and bled within the last 50 miles. I bought new front brake cylinders, but have not had time to install them. The two front cylinders are included with the car. I would think the brakes would work 100% after installing front cylinders and re-bleeding the system. Car is currently running off a boat gas tank behind driver side seat. The fuel tank in the car has not been tested for rust or corrosion. When they are that old, I don't trust their condition and don't use them until they are checked out. The original tank is mounted in stock location and is disconnected from the fuel pump. I spent a small fortune on a rebuilt carburetor and did not chance getting dirt or rust from an old tank in it. Within the past 200 miles, parts replaced: new water pump, thermostat, carburetor, oil change, battery, front motor mount Needs exhaust repair and minor brake work The interior is in poor condition, but is at least there and restorable. The body has rust out issues as seen in pictures. By the way, 24 pictures is not nearly enough to show true condition ! I have many more photo's including close ups of rotted area's. I have six patch panels for the car which are included in the auction. (pictured) The floors are fairly solid other than a few holes near each rocker The trunk is solid other than at the two rear corners Inner rockers are bad ! Lower front fenders have small holes Patch panels included are : both outer rockers and 4 pieces of rear quarter patch The bumpers I have pictured are included. I do not have all the stainless trim. Also, NO hood ornament. The car is a running , driving project or you can just drive it with few repairs. The choice is yours. At least you do not have to push it around. If the car was show and I didn't already have 14 other projects, I wouldn't even offer it. I just do not have time and money to finish all of them. Please view my other listings for other project car offers. I am going to list 26 Model T, 31 Model A slant window, 47 New Yorker and a few others Please ask questions and make comments before bidding or making BIN offers. Call me @ 1-314-757-3489 text or email. I will provide you with all answers for questions asked and all extra photo's asked for. I have nothing to hide and absolutely want you to be 100% happy with your purchase ! This car comes with a clear Missouri Title and as-is bill of sale. Title will be transferred to winning bidder upon cleared payment. Because it runs and drives, I must have you sign and date title. It will be up to you to fill in street address and price.

I generally do not mind selling parts off a car, but this is NOT one I am willing to part out. Please do not ask me to sell you just a part.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
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.
