Fenton, Missouri, United States

1950 Pontiac Catalina 2 door hard top coupe First year for the Pontiac Hard Top This car has a very strong running straight 8. It drives very well for a car of its age. No issues of start up, overheating or stalling. No excessive oil use or leaks The brake petal is a little soft. The rear brake cylinders have been replaced with new ones and bled within the last 50 miles. I bought new front brake cylinders, but have not had time to install them. The two front cylinders are included with the car. I would think the brakes would work 100% after installing front cylinders and re-bleeding the system. Car is currently running off a boat gas tank behind driver side seat. The fuel tank in the car has not been tested for rust or corrosion. When they are that old, I don't trust their condition and don't use them until they are checked out. The original tank is mounted in stock location and is disconnected from the fuel pump. I spent a small fortune on a rebuilt carburetor and did not chance getting dirt or rust from an old tank in it. Within the past 200 miles, parts replaced: new water pump, thermostat, carburetor, oil change, battery, front motor mount Needs exhaust repair and minor brake work The interior is in poor condition, but is at least there and restorable. The body has rust out issues as seen in pictures. By the way, 24 pictures is not nearly enough to show true condition ! I have many more photo's including close ups of rotted area's. I have six patch panels for the car which are included in the auction. (pictured) The floors are fairly solid other than a few holes near each rocker The trunk is solid other than at the two rear corners Inner rockers are bad ! Lower front fenders have small holes Patch panels included are : both outer rockers and 4 pieces of rear quarter patch The bumpers I have pictured are included. I do not have all the stainless trim. Also, NO hood ornament. The car is a running , driving project or you can just drive it with few repairs. The choice is yours. At least you do not have to push it around. If the car was show and I didn't already have 14 other projects, I wouldn't even offer it. I just do not have time and money to finish all of them. Please view my other listings for other project car offers. I am going to list 26 Model T, 31 Model A slant window, 47 New Yorker and a few others Please ask questions and make comments before bidding or making BIN offers.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
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.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
