1969 Pontiac Catalina 2dr Sport Coupe Original Survivor 74k Miles Gto Hauler on 2040-cars
Gloversville, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is a really amazing ORIGINAL UNRESTORED "SURVIVOR" CAR! This is a 1969 Pontiac Catalina 2dr hardtop sport coupe! It was one owner until I purchased it. Actually, even though I have had it in my collection, I still have the original owner title, along with the notary forms that allow me to transfer the car from me to you. So actually, whoever ends up buying this beauty and registering it will technically be the second owner of this Catalina! How often does that happen on a 45 year old car? Car has always been garaged, and is in amazing unrestored original condition! It has 85% of its original light green paint that still holds a great shine! The original chrome and bright work are still excellent! Engine compartment is all original, as is interior. Trunk is also original unrestored, except that there is a reproduction trunk mat. Original mat is still there, and intact, but is a bit worn, so they put the repro on top of it for show purposes. The original owners purchased this car to tow their camper trailer and boat trailer. Catalina is equipped as follows: 1. 400 Cubic Inch Pontiac V8, 2bbl, runs well on today's fuels, but still has gobs of power and torque! 2. Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission (smooth and bullet-proof if you know these units) 3. Power Steering & Power Brakes 4. Cordova Vinyl Top 5. AM Radio 6. Deluxe Interior with Comfort Weave cloth seat inserts 7. Optional factory Fender Skirts (NOT repros, but have been with car since new). I like the non-skirt look, but they are included for those who like them. They fit great! 8. Heavy Duty Cooling and Heavy Duty Tow Package. The tow package was installed when the car was new at the dealership. It features transmission cooler, trailer brakes, air shocks, and HD tow hitch. I have all the original factory and dealership brochures and receipts for this. 9.; Original green "arrowhead" Pontiac accessory floor mats still in nice shape. These alone are worth a small fortune to a GTO or Firebird guy as they are not reproduced in green! This Wide Track also has a couple very neat nostalgic Period Correct add on aftermarket accessories: An FM Converter and 8 Track Stereo Unit as well as a vintage CB Radio. These were installed shortly after the car was new! Best of all, to my knowledge everything still works! The stereo definitely does. I turned on the CB and got some noise and chatter out of it. Have not been ablke to try the trailer brakes, but everything seems to be there and in good order. In addition to the aforementioned original owner title for the car, I also have a thick file folder with every repair receipt and service record for the car since new in 1969! These document original ownership and odometer mileage. Also have all factory books, Protecto Plate, and brochures etc. This is truly one of the most original and documented cars I have seen in a long time! The body is super straight, original, and rust free! I have not found any rot or Bondo. All original body panels, floor pan, trunk pan etc. Undercarriage is also nice and original, not flaky or scaly like many you see. Like any used car, there are some small nicks and dings from people opening doors up over the years, etc., but in my opinion, this Catalina looks better at 45 years old than many 5 year old cars I have seen. Interior is super nice, not faded. Dash, door panels, headliner are all super nice, not cracked, faded, or torn. Original carpets look great. Seats are very nice and comfortable. Instrument panel also looks spectacular! Last week I drove this car on a 150 mile trip, 55 to 70 MPH interstate driving. It is smooth, sure footed and powerful, just like you would expect one of these vintage Pontiacs to be! No issues that I could see. It was like sitting in your living room! Has 74,000 original miles, but could pass for half of that! For a full sized car, it handles remarkably well, without a lot of roll or body lean. Very smooth, even at 70 MPH! I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere! These original "Survivor" cars are really the hot thing in the collector car hobby. Anyone can write checks and over-restore a derelict, but they are only original once! This car has many possibilities for enjoyment in the collector car hobby: 1. Use it as the ultimate hauler to tow your GTO or Firebird "trailer queen" to car shows! 2. Use it as the ultimate and unique low priced tow vehicle to tow virtually anything smaller than the Queen Mary or the Empire State Building! LOL! 3. It would be a great car for vintage collector car tours 4. Use it to compete in the HPOF (AACA Historic Preservation of Original Features) or "Survivor" class at antique car shows 5. Use it for all of the above! Don't miss this opportunity to buy an honest to goodness original, 1 owner unrestored vintage Pontiac with all documentation at a price that won't break the bank!

I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles. Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival. I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s. |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
