1971 Pontiac Catalina Police Enforcer The Real Deal on 2040-cars
Wickliffe, Ohio, United States
|
Action Auto Wholesale is proud to offer this 1971 Catalina Police Enforcer. This is a " REAL DEAL" police package vehicle, and NOT a clone. This vehicle has a very interesting history. Originally purchased by the Borough of Chambersburg PA, as a supervisors vehicle. These vehicles were used for a few years and then replaced with new models. Jay Clark used to work in the cities service garage, and maintained the cities fleet of vehicles. When this particular vehicle came up for auction, Jay knew the car and had to buy it. After the purchase he had the vinyl top installed, and presented the vehicle to his Mother-In-Law. She couldn't stand the car, so he took it back and put it in his barn with his other Pontiacs. It stayed there tucked away until his passing a few years ago, and we bought it from his estate. It comes with the original protecto-plate and dealer installed trunk plaque. It is numbers matching and is equipped with a 455 4bbl, certified dash, power steering and brakes, heavy duty suspension. It also has the original cage, ticket console, the radio speaker and all wiring for it under the dash. The interior is all original and in excellent condition. There are no seat rips or dash cracks, it has slight wear of the carpet and minimal discoloring of the door panels. The body is super solid and The paint is 90% original with very minor surface rust. The undercarriage is very solid with only slight surface rust. There are no holes or patches in the floors, frame or trunk. This Catalina does need an exhaust manifold replaced as it is cracked, and an exhaust system. It runs drives, shifts, and stops. It will need some restoration. Again the is a 33,000 original Pontiac Police car, when is the last time you saw one?
Please do not ask what the reserve is because it will not be disclosed. This is an auction and we want everyone to have a fair chance to bid. Thank You.
If you have 0 feedback, please contact us before bidding, or your bid will be retracted.

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.
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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
