Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States
|
1963 Pontiac Catalina, 2 door hardtop, 389 V8, 700R 4 speed automatic, dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers, power steering, power brakes, factory A.C., red exterior with three color red interior. It has bench seats in the front and back. This vehicle has been beautifully restored inside and out. All components of the vehicle are in good working order with the exception of the air conditioning which is non-functional. The power train, body and interior are all in excellent condition. The vehicle has been stored winters and always garaged when in use. We use this vehicle as a Sunday driver and have participated in several local small town parades and car shows. We've owned this vehicle for 6 years and it has been an absolute joy to drive. This car turns heads and elicits many "thumbs up" and warm friendly greetings wherever we go. Our hope is to find another interested party who will enjoy this car as much as we have. We have priced this vehicle several thousand dollars below fair market retail price. At our "buy it now" price, this vehicle is an excellent investment. It is currently insured with Hagerty Insurance at the “agreed upon” value of $20,000.00. Another independent valuation source is NADA Guides. Please see the link below showing the market value of our vehicle using this nationally recognized source. We estimated the condition of our vehicle to be comparable to the average retail value for the purposes of this guide. http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1963/Pontiac/Catalina/2-Door-Hardtop/Values. We would encourage any interested buyer to pursue an independent inspection of their own before purchasing a classic automobile. When we purchased the vehicle from the previous owner, we paid a nominal fee to have it inspected by a trusted local mechanic in order to ensure it was worth the investment we were making. Even more important than the valuation, we wanted to be sure the vehicle was mechanically sound as it was 45 years old at the time. We were very pleased with the results of the inspection and made the purchase with no reservations. Over the last six years we’ve only needed to perform routine maintenance on the vehicle. We will also be advertising our vehicle locally and reserve the right to sell it to the first interested party who is willing to offer us our asking price of $17,995.00.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The 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.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
