This Pontiac Chieftain 2-door custom Catalena hardtop is equipped with a flat-head, straight-8 engine with a Dual-Range, Hydra-matic transmission. The exterior has the original two-toned green paint.  The Indian Head hood ornament is all chrome.  The interior is in exceptionally good condition; the original seat covers and door panels show amazingly little wear and headliner is perfect. This is a great example of a 1953 Pontiac.  The car has a new fuel pump, a new water pump, and new tires.  The carburetor, valves, and brake system have been overhauled.  The tires are whitewalls but not wide whitewalls.  Otherwise, the car is completely original.  This car should drive with gas in the tank and a new battery; however minor tweaks may be needed.  The exterior paint is chipping in some places, most noticeably between the fins and the body.  The front of the hood is pitted, and the front chrome bumper has some scratches, gouges, and marks.  The leather key fob is original; it has the dealer’s logo and address on it (which matches the logo on the car) and it has an embossed picture of a Pontiac Chieftain on the other side.  The two keys are original.  Included with the sale are four more blank keys for the car which have not been cut.  The Owner’s Guide, which measures 5-1/2” by 8-1/2” and is 63 pages long, is the original manual that came with the car.  This car has always been garaged; my uncle was the first owner and he gave it to me.  I am selling the car because I am moving out of the state and I will no longer have the space to garage it.  You are responsible for pick-up and transportation.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say 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.
