You are bidding on a Custom and Rather Rare, Nicely Optioned 1964 Pontiac Catalina Ventura. There weren’t many of this model produced to begin with and the survivors are few and far between. This car has, over the past several years, gone through a FULL RESTORATION that was completed this past spring. This eye catching Base Coat/Clear Coat Reverse Scallop Teal Green over Sunlit Sand Pearl Silver paint scheme and Interior was chosen to respectfully pay tribute to the Custom Street Rods and Low Riders of yesteryear yet still retain some of its classic original features. The chassis has been lowered two (2) inches in the front giving this car a very aggressive stance. This car was undercoated from the factory and still retains most of that original undercoating. The underside of the car has been cleaned and re-undercoated and the frame repainted in flat black. The entire underside of the car has been detailed and is nearly as nice as the topside. A brand new gas tank with new sending unit and pickup has been installed. The engine and automatic transmission have been completely rebuilt. The A/C system has been completely gone through, restored as needed and on a 90 degree sunny day produces a BONE CHILLING 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT THE VENTS!!!  The A/C systems of today’s cars cannot even compete!!!

Other than the paint and interior some of the other custom features of this car include the 64 Grand Prix headlight bezels, grill and parking lights as well as 64 Grand Prix rear fender extensions, backup and tail lights and rear finned chrome bezel. Red LED lights were installed in the rear finned bezel in place of the factory GP tail lights and inside the GP backup lights. Brand new backup lights were installed in the factory Catalina bumper locations. Door handles and door mounted mirrors have been shaved and Custom mini roadster mirrors have been modified and mounted on the vent window frames. Door poppers have been installed to open the doors. A remote is included for the door poppers.

KMC 17x8 Chrome Billet Venom Wheels wrapped in low profile Kumho Ecsta ASX tires were chosen to complete the LOW, SLEEK, STALKING LOOK!!!

The all new carpet is dark teal green in color and extends to the bottom of the door panels and the kick panels. The seats and door panels are reverse scalloped in silver to carry through the exterior paint scheme. The metal parts of the dash and steering column were repainted in the light aqua and shows very nicely. The chrome dash is nice with very little pitting. The padded dash top is brand new and looks very nice. The real wood dash applique is brand new reproduction as is the wood sport steering wheel.

The 1964 VENTURA was a sub-model of the Catalina line of cars and was designed to be a sporty classy version of the Catalina with the factory tri-tone interior and all of the available chrome features offered on the Catalina.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
