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

Michigan floods from breached dams consume Pontiac Fiero collection
Thu, May 21 2020WeΒve never had an event like this,Β Michigan's city manager Brad Kaye said in a Detroit News story. "What we're looking at is an event that is the equivalent of a 500-year flood." Kaye is referencing the catastrophic flood that occurred in central Michigan this week after heavy rainfall was compounded by two breached dams on the Tittabawassee River. Reports say the flooding forced evacuation of up to 10,000 residents, swallowed entire towns, and destroyed thousands of properties. No casualties have been reported, according to the Detroit Free Press, but car enthusiasts will be sad to learn a Pontiac Fiero shop and collection called Forever Fieros was decimated by the natural disaster. The Tittabawassee River is located about two hours, or roughly 140 miles, north of Detroit. It starts 20-30 miles further north and flows southeast as a tributary to the Saginaw Bay Watershed. Along the way, the Tittabawassee is held up by several dams, including the Edenville dam that failed and the Sanford dam that was breached during torrential downpours. According to NPR, the federal government took away the Edenville dam's license in 2018 and suggested it could not last through a major flood. Unfortunately, that prediction was proven accurate.Β Forever Fieros is located in Sanford, Michigan, which is just below Sanford Lake, which is created by the Sanford dam. So when the Edenville dam north of Sanford broke, water from Wixom Lake flooded Sanford Lake, and a berm next to the Sanford dam was overwhelmed, according to MLive. Technically the dam did not fail, but the end result was the same: an entire town underwater. The Tittabawassee reportedly crested at 35 feet, or 10 feet above flood level and 1.1 feet higher than the previous record set in 1986. According to The Drive, the man in charge of Forever Fieros, Tim Evans, had time to attempt to save his vehicles from floodwater. He reportedly moved about 12 cars to a street that doesn't typically flood, but the water level was simply too high for that to matter. A floating pole barn also reportedly struck and damaged theΒ Forever Fieros building.Β Worsening the situation is the fact that Evans was planning to hold an auction to sell many of the Fieros. As seen on Industrial Bid, he planned to sell 12 Fieros, Fiero GTs and a Fiero Formula, ranging from 1984 through 1988. The lots included a 1984 pace car, a Lamborghini Countach kit car, and a Fiero Cosworth Pontiac Super Duty 16-valve DOHC engine.
Woman Cleared In Fatal Car Wreck After GM Letter
Tue, Nov 25 2014A Texas judge cleared a woman Monday for a car accident that killed her fiance in 2004, after General Motors acknowledged that her car would have been among millions being recalled for a problem that may have contributed to the death. Candice Anderson was driving a 2004 Saturn Ion when it suddenly veered off a road about 60 miles east of Dallas and slammed into a tree. Anderson, then 21, was severely injured when the car's air bags failed to deploy. Her 25-year-old fiance, Gene Erikson, who was a passenger, was killed. She later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the wreck. But during a hearing Monday, State District Judge Teresa Drum expunged the conviction from her record, according to officials in the Van Zandt County court andAnderson's attorney, Bob Hilliard. In a letter given to the court ahead of the hearing, an attorney for the automaker confirmed that Anderson's Saturn would have been among 2.6 million GM vehicles recalled in February to address ignition switches that can slip out of the "run" position, causing the engines to stall and disabling power steering, brakes and air bags. Anderson's crash "is one in which the recall condition may have caused or contributed to the frontal air bag non-deployment in the accident," attorney Richard C. Godfrey wrote. Hilliard provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press, and Godfrey confirmed its contents Monday. Anderson was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide because there was no clear explanation at the time why the wreck occurred, according to court documents from the case. She pleaded guilty to a letter charge in 2006, and was sentenced to five years' probation. She also was ordered to perform 260 hours of community service, pay court costs and cover the costs of Erikson's funeral. "GM knew this defect caused this death, yet instead of telling the truth watched silently as Candice was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter," Hilliard said Monday. "It took 10 years for GM to find its voice." In a separate statement issued by the company, GM said it "cooperated fully by providing technical information that was requested to make a decision in this matter." The carmaker also said the issue in Anderson's case was for local law enforcement and courts to consider. "That's why we took a neutral position on Ms. Anderson's case," the company's statement said. "It was appropriate for the court to determine the legal status of Ms.
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
