1970 Pontiac Catalina 400 - 24,400 original miles. Runs great! This 4-door car came with an old house we're renovating and has been stored in the garage for several years. It belonged to a woman who died at 92 a couple years ago. The son sold the house and car together. We talked to a neighbor who would come over to start it for her just to let it run a few times a year. New battery, air filter & radiator hoses. Oil, brake and transmission fluids are clean and zero leaks on the ground. Engine sounds great, no ticks or knocking.  The last tag on the plate is dated 1997, so we're assuming that's the last year she drove it. We have the title which is clean and in our possession. We also have the original owner's manual which is in perfect shape as well as the invoice from the dealership. Paint is original (some paint discoloration on hood, roof and trunk), chrome is bright, virtually no rust and even air in the tires. For a Michigan car enduring the winters and road salt, you'd expect much more wear and rust, but it's in phenominal shape for its age.  The interior we'd classify as average. There was a home-restorative job on the driver's seat (see picture) with denim.  There are a couple small splits in the driverside seat back. The rear back dash would need some TLC as it most likely got sun scorched and shrunk over time. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction upon local sale.  Located in Ludington, MI, buyer would be responsible for pickup.  $300 security deposit via PayPal due within 24 hours to hold the purchase.  Do not hesitate to contact me with any other questions.

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.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
