1961 Pontiac Catalina Hardtop on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
|
A very solid, excellent condition dream from Nebraska! I became the 3rd owner in 2007. A true hard top, heavy pillar up from the frame to window level, see picture. Powered by a strong 389 V8 engine with 69,000 miles. Has a new timing chain, starter rebuilt and fuel filter.
A new coat of Bahama Blue on hardtop and Bixmin Blue on the bottom (similar to Robin egg blue). Car starts, runs, drives. Invested in extra parts; water fall grill and radio, these rare items were found. Tires near new. This car has been garaged to keep deterioration to a minimum. New engine, transmission was rebuilt in 1998. Power brake system masters to wheel cylinders restored in 2002. Power brakes, power steering. All glass intact, no cracks. Dash has minor cracks from sun/heat. Nice interior, seats normal wear and tear. Not many of these cars around, a real beauty. This car is being sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied verbal or written. If you are having the car shipped, payment by cashier's check or Paypal must be cleared before car ships, and all shipping arrangements and payments for shipping must be made by winning bidder to shipping agent, no exception. I am an honest seller and expect the same of any bidder. Please email with any questions, thanks for looking! |

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 recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
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.
