1968 Pontiac Catalina 2 Door Fastback on 2040-cars
Hesperia, California, United States
|
For sale is this 1968 Pontiac Catalina 2 door fastback restoration project. Lets start with the body first. Original color looks like it was blue. The previous owner who I got the car from tried to paint the car white himself, and did a terrible job. He had no idea what he was doing. It has runs, and in some places, it looks like he used a brush. The good thing is, it has a fairly strait body, with no bondo or body work done that I can find. It is rust free, with good floor boards, good trunk and especially around the back window area inside and out. It's solid. The car will definitely have to be sanded down and repainted.
All of the glass is good. The front and rear bumpers look good. The front lower valance will need some work. The rear valance is missing, so is Pontiac Catalina lettering. The interior will also need help. It's missing the lower back seat. The front seat is OK. All of the seat belts are there. It will need things like a carpet kit, headliner, package tray, weather stripping, etc. The door panels look ok. The dash itself looks ok, but the dash pad will need redone. The engine is the original 400 2 barrel. It starts and runs good. The trans is the turbo 400 and it shifts good. Has power steering and power brakes. This is a non AC factory car. The heater core will also have to be replaced. As I stated in the beginning, this is a restoration project. But it look to be a solid candidate for restoration or customize it your own way. Please understand I've tried describe the car as best I can from what I see and know. It is NOT perfect nor do I make any claim that it is. It will need restoration. Please ask all questions you might have before bidding. Please make sure you have the funds available before placing a bid and that you have permission from you wife, mother husband or whoever. If you have just joined ebay, please email me with your intentions before bidding. The car is sold "as is where is " with NO warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due at auction close with balance due within 5 days. Thanks for looking |

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
