This car is a looker with the convertible top down or up.... simply stunning. The official color is Castillion Bronze. The car has been kept in a garage since it received a fantastic paint job eight years ago, restoring its shine and keeping true to the original color. It is very clear when you see the car that extra special care has been taken to keep this classic in amazing condition. This classic will get you plenty of looks and the attention of everyone around town, at work, in your neighborhood, etc. Even better, you can turn back the clocks and feel like it's the early 1970's all over again, cruising around in the Catalina with the top down. One lucky buyer will find out, the pictures of this car, don't even do the car justice!
This classic is about 99% original. The car has been a weekend driver for the majority of its life and that helps to explain its amazing original condition and the mileage. The car has been entirely owned in North Carolina until eight years ago, when it was purchased by one owner in Maryland. This Pontiac Catalina Convertible is powered by an original 350 cubic inch engine with 2 barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. Special options on this care include turbo hydra matic transmission, Rally II Wheels, power steering and air conditioning. The car is believed to have matching numbers throughout. There are no known leaks to report. The car is currently sitting in a private garage and has just had minor repairs to bring it up to peak running condition. The engine compartment and undercarriage are very clan, but not professionally detailed. The title is clear and ready to be transferred to a new owner.
The buyer will also be getting some very nice original documentation! Included is the sales letter to the original owner from Pontiac congratulating him on his purchase dated May 7, 1971. Plenty of inspection reports available as well to document the mileage as being accurate as reported.
EXTERIOR/INTERIOR
As you can tell from the photos, the exterior and interior are exceptional for a 1971 model car. The paint look great and there is no known bondo on the car. The Catalina has original Rally II wheels and Uniroyal Tiger Paw M&S P235/7OR 15 tires with only approximately 5,000 miles on them. The glass, seals, and trim are all original and look to be in fine condition. The horn, wipers turn signals, lights and locks all work. The Catalina Convertible had a new soft top and the electric motor replaced before it left North Carolina eight years ago. It has the original AM/FM stereo with 8 track cassette player (it was working the last time the former owner tried it). The interior is excellent, the vinyl seats are extremely comfortable and both the front and back seat look like they have hardly had a passenger sitting in them. One modern addition to the Catalina that works well if you can't find your stash of 8 track cassettes, is the installation of a Pioner CD player mounted under the dash. This Pioner CD player is believed to be XM satellite capable as well.
VEHICLE CONDITION:
Not much to say about the vehicle other than check out the pictures and only 30,429 miles! The paint job on this car is terrific and has just been waxed and detailed inside and out and restores the beauty of this car like the Fountain of Youth. No rust issues were observed upon inspection by the shop that just completed the minor repairs on the car. The dash looks great. The cosmetic and electrical components of the convertible top have been replaced. What can we say...... This is the nicest classic Catalina we've ever seen and whoever buys this car will be smiling from ear to ear every time they walk into the garage!

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

We'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.

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
