1973 Pontiac Catalina Safari 3-Seat/9-Passenger Wagon

Here at MissChiTown we are very proud to be the marketing arm of so many car collectors that want to advertise on eBay. As car collectors ourselves very often we really get into the cars that we are marketing in terms of excitement and passion. It doesn’t happen often but sometimes some cars just check off all the boxes on the want list.

Some of those boxes can be important to collectors who are looking to purchase a car, such as:

• Getting the car from the original owner

• Large, original, 1973 V8 motor to propel the car into fast acceleration capable of cruising at 85-95 mph all day long (even though it is not legal)

• Matching Numbers

• Original car with one re-paint to original color.

• Original window sticker, original order form and a lot more documentation that the original owner has kept all of these years.

• Having a car that it is not only collectible but very practical to drive on today’s roads, a car that can accommodate a large family (we know some collectors who get limousines for that purpose but they can feel a little silly driving a limousine).

• This is a big one point, getting a car from the 70s that has FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING

• Having the original miles documented by original owner

• Unusual accessories like the special wheel option.

• Factory tinted glass

• Rear window defroster from the factory

• Posi-Traction equivalent

• Factory AM/FM Radio

• Ability to carry a family of nine in luxury.

• Factory luggage carrier on the roof for luggage.

• Deluxe gauges from that time period

• The car is still in the factory color Burba Brown with only one re-paint.

We mention all of the above because any car that would have half of these positive items would make the car extra hot in the collector market. We have to say that at MissChiTown that only a very few times in our history of marketing collector cars have we had any one car that could check off all the boxes.

Yes this car features many of the important features that collectors desire. If that does not make it one of the hottest collector station wagons around we don’t know what does. This car in our opinion has multiple opportunities – it can be displayed at a museum with all its virtues listed on a big signboard or the virtues can be made use of by a collector who wants to use the car as a collector tour car with his family. We have yet to see a station wagon any time so well equipped with an original owner, original order sheet, original window sticker and all of the other items above. The following is a more inclusive description that also includes the owners description.

This very clean and original except for one repaint in original Burma Brown is being offered by the original owner is not something you will find often. This car has the third row seating and cool disappearing power tailgate. When not hauling people around the 2 rear seats can be folded down giving a ton of storage space.

You will love the power of the 400 cubic inch V8 with four barrel carburetor in the engine! Backing the motor is a 400 Turbo Hydramatic transmission with no issues. The car was fitted with Air Conditioning from the factory as well as power steering and power brakes.

The fit and finish is in beautiful condition making it a contender at any car show you want to take it to. The body is in beautiful condition and is very striking in the Burma Brown paint complimented by the original Beige Naugahyde interior. Look closely at the chrome and stainless we think you will appreciate how it shines. The soft ray tinted glass windows are all in good condition. The factory luggage rack is still mounted in place on the roof. The factory Rally II wheels really are quite striking and give this car an edgy look.

This car may have started out as a family vehicle but now collectors look upon these cars as great collectibles just for the “Cool Factor”.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles Â— could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.

World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer

Mon, Apr 20 2020

It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.Â Â Â Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean Â— yes, him Â—Â gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.
