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 doesnt 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 todays 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 dont 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.    FROM THE BILL OF SALE for this 1973 Ponitac Safari

A case for Pontiac's return
Wed, Apr 5 2017Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.
Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero 2M4
Sun, Oct 8 2023The mid-engined, plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero two-seater caused great excitement when it hit the streets as a 1984 model, then became something of an embarrassment for GM when its design flaws became clear to the car-buying public. Still, when a V6 engine became available for 1985, followed by a fastback roof for 1986, the air of Pontiac Excitement around the Fiero lingered to a certain extent. We took a look at a discarded '86 Fiero GT with both the 2.8-liter V6 and the fastback body last year, and now we'll take a look at an example of the econo-commuter four-cylinder notchback version from the same year. Pontiac used the 2M4 designation (standing forΒ two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders) on four-cylinder Fieros, while the six-cylinder cars were known asΒ 2M6s. 2M4 decals went on four-banger Fieros for the 1984-1986 model years, while 2M6 decals seem to have been applied less consistently to the V6 cars of that period. During the early development period of the car that became the Fiero, the idea was that it would be a nimble sports car with a lightweight engine. Then the plan shifted, with the Fiero intended to be a gas-sipping commuter. When the car finally hit showrooms, it was a lot heavier than intended, it had a Chevy Citation front suspension in the back plus a Chevette front suspension, and its engine was the low-revving, weighty Iron Duke 2.5-liter straight-four. The Duke was about the least sports-car-appropriate four-cylinder engine The General could dredge up from his parts bins, but it was cheap and there was no shortage of production capacity. By the time the Fiero came out, the Iron Duke had been renamed the Tech 4. This one was rated at 92 horsepower and 132 pound-feet. The V6 Fieros get all the press today, but plenty of the Duked versions were sold (amazingly, the Chevrolet Camaro was available with Iron Duke power from 1982 through 1986). The emissions sticker tells us that this was a California-market car, rather than the "49-state" model the rest of the country got. California-specific emissions hardware added $99 to this car's price ($277 in 2023 dollars). While this car is a base model, the original buyer loaded it with options. The transmission is a three-speed automatic, priced at $465 (about $1,303 in 2023 dollars). A five-speed manual was standard equipment on the 1986 Fiero, though the old-fashioned four-speed manual was still available for a $50 credit ($140 now).
Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
