I'm the third owner of this beautiful Catalina. I bought it a few years ago, on ebay, from an old guy's collection from South Carolina. It didn't need much, just some "TLC". I did a "frame on" restoration, mostly myself, but had a little bit of help. I had it painted in a black metallic, which is very subtle, but glistens in the sunlight. I re-wired it, with modern blade fuse block. It's been kept very stock looking, because I think it's most pretty that way, but some changes/improvements have been done. They are:
-- front & back bumpers re-chromed
-- new upholstery, carpet, headliner, sail panels, door panels.
-- center console re-chromed
-- steering wheel restored to better than new
-- no rust or bondo anywhere on this car.
-- modern stereo & speakers. Stereo hidden in glove box.
-- 3.42/1 rear end gear installed. This car is fast!
-- new brakes, high output fuel pump, and modern aluminum radiator.
-- Mallory unilite electronic distributor (no points to mess with!), and new spark plugs and wires
-- new Interstate Battery (last summer)
-- 8 Lug wheels have been sand blasted, and clear coated with POR 15 clear protective coating.
I describe this car to people as "beautiful, driver quality". It is not a show car, but damn close. The paint job is very nice, but it has a few minor blemishes, and runs if you look hard to find them. The only other flaws that it has:
-- turn signals keep blowing the fuse. It is a small short in the steering column, and the ring in there needs to be adjusted. Small project I haven't gotten to yet.
-- speedometer stopped working a couple months ago. The cable from the transmission is spinning, but the head in the dashboard may need to be replaced. Haven't got to that project either!
This is all I can think of. This car drives great, and I get the "thumbs Up" from people all over the Chicago area when I drive it. I love it, but have had my fun restoring it, and need to unload some hobby cars so my son can go to college in a few years! I'm pricing it very reasonably so someone else in the hobby can enjoy it as much as I have.
-- It needs front end bushings, as they are probably original. Rides a little rough on bumpy Illinois (crap) roads we have in our state. Another minor annoyance, and drives wonderfully on smooth, country roads or highways.

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.
Driving Notes
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General 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.
