1953 Pontiac Catalina
I will be listing a few cars here in the next week or two for my family. We are reducing are number of cars, so
please see my other listings as well. I am not a dealer.
Just a beautiful original car that has been well cared for by the previous owners. Only 56,787 miles and has been
restored as needed for driving and car shows. We had plans to drive and show this car on a regular basis, but
sometimes life has other plans, and we have decided to sell it to someone who we hope will give it a good home. I
believe this will be both a fun car and a great investment for the next owner! I am a big fan of this body style
and this particular car. I hope to see it go to a good Pontiac home!
This particular model of Pontiac was only available in Laurel Green, Milano Ivory, or a two-tone combination of
these colors. The term "Catalina" was Pontiac's nomenclature for pillar-less hardtop styling.
Details/Features:
268ci Straight Eight Engine (2 Barrel 122 HP)
Hydra-Matic Transmission (4 Speed Automatic)
Factory Power Steering (very rare)
Factory Power Brakes (also rare)
Factory 7-Tube Deluxe Chieftain Radio
In-Dash Electric Clock
Airway Compass
Green and Cream Vinyl Interior
Seat/Safety Belts
Door Handle Shields
Fuel Door Guard
Front and Rear Bumper Guards
Unique Lighted Hood Ornament
Fender Skirts
New Wide White Wall Tires
All-Weather Comfort Ventillation System (under seat heater)
Reverse Lights
Beautiful Inside and Out!
Detailed Engine and Trunk Compartments
Recent check up, tune-up, etc.
The engine idles well, runs quiet, makes good power, and starts well every time. The transmission shifts very
smoothly through all the gears. Steers and stops very easy with the factory power steering and brakes. Drives
straight down the road with no unusual vibrations, pulling, noises, etc. All of the original gauges work. The
radio and horn work too (clock is correct twice daily). The car is an absolute pleasure to own and drive.
Probably drives as close to a 'new' one as you would hope to find!
This Pontiac is a beautiful car everywhere you look (exterior, interior, engine compartment, trunk, etc). Nice
body and under-carriage. Doors open and shut very well. The upholstery is in good condition. This Pontiac would
look great at all your shows and cruise-ins. It has won many awards in the past and should win you more down the
road. It is a combination of older restoration and original. You would be hard pressed to find another one like
this (especially with the PS and PB). Please see the photos and ask what questions you have.
What is the car worth?
NADA Classic Car Guide shows a "High Retail Value/Condition" of $29,300
+ Hydra-Matic Transmission 5% ($1,465)
+ Factory Power Steering 10% ($2,930)

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

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.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
