Catalina Safari Wagon 389 Automatic
This car was sold and stayed in eastern Washington (dry climate) its whole life. Car was sold with 389 , automatic, power steering, power brakes, EZ eye glass all the way around. Deluxe trim interior, radio and full size wheel covers. The car was stripped to metal about 7 years and and epoxy primed and a good quality repaint. There was some bubbling in the lower parts on the doors that was repaired at that time and show no signs of returning. The bumbers are nice and no damage. Car had been inspected on the hoist and has solid floors, storage area body mounts. There is some rust at the bottom of the spare tire well. Much has been done to make the a great driver. I have used it as a daily driver for 2 weeks with now concerns including a few cruises with the car club. Give the tube radio 30 seconds to warm up and it puts out a smooth and nice sound. All lights, turn signal, horn heater, defroster and dome light works. The fuel gauge needs a sender, clock needs serviced or convert to quartz and the wipers a slow to start form old grease in the motor. The miles are 35k, but are believed to be 135k due to the age. But the steering wheel; looks nice, padded dash is perfect and all the windows and in good condition. Even has the original date coded windshield. So maybe it is the lower miles? Car has good tires, shocks, tight steering and a list of recent services are: -Battery -Tune up & ignition wire set- compression tested 160 all cylinders -Cleaned and serviced radiator & Hoses -New belts -Muffler & tail pipe -Brakes front and Rear The interior is amazing, not perfect but it is all original. There is a old patch in the rear headliner above cargo area, small hole in rear of drivers seat, and the lower corners of the door panels are split from the vinyl shrinking over the years. The windows all roll up and down smooth and the doors are all in align and close with ease. I would not hesitate to drive this car as is on a long journey. No water leaks even when left out in the rain. Put a hitch on this old wagon and tow your vintage travel trailer ! I have sold several of my collector cars and some for friends on e-bay. Please remember although this is the nicest original wagon I have seen in years, it is 53 years old and will have some flaws. Road tests and inspection are welcome and encouraged. - Steve Fisher 206-755-3420 |

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE
Sat, Dec 2 2017Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Even the wretched Daewoo-built Pontiac LeMans gets more screen time than the forgotten 6000 in this 1991 TV ad featuring the voice of Captain Picard.

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.
