This is “NOT” a barn find, it was never lost. It has been setting in my barn for the last 35 years and I walked around it several times a year. When we were young, my friend and I went together and bought this 1966 Pontiac Catalina Convertible and drove it home. I do not know what the history on the car is, only that we bought it locally. We were single at the time and we had great ideas of restoring the car. We removed the front and rear bumpers and had some body work done on the wheel wells, both front and rear [note before and after photos]. That body work was done in 1978 and the quality of work was not the best, so you will have to remove it and have it reworked. After working on it for a short time we became interested in other things [girls].

So 35 years has pasted and we decided to take another look at the car, notice the before and after photos. We then decided to put it back together and sell the Pontiac as is. We then found out after setting those years the motor had stuck, so we remove the engine and transmission and found that pistons #8 and # 6 were stuck. I had a mechanic look at the engine and he said overall the engine looked very good. If you purchase the car, you will have to re-install the engine and transmission.

The engine, transmission and body numbers should match because we purchase the car with only 59,000 miles on it. I found where the last owners had the oil change and the date was June 27, 1978 and we purchase the Pontiac a few months later.

All of the glass is intact and in very good condition, the car is straight, the tires will hold air but not for long, all four 14” Pontiac wheel covers are there, the sub-frame looks solid but needs cleaning up, the fuel tank looks to be clean and in good condition. There are two 14” wheels on the driver side and two 15” wheels on the passenger side. The 15” wheels should be replace with correct 14” wheels. I think the transmission is a 400 because the tag on the transmission reads “Hydramatc PB66 196192”. I believe the engine is a 389 with a 2 barrel carburetor.

We tried to lower the top but, we had taken the engine out of the car and did not go to the work to re-hock up the electrical system. We had never raised or lowered the top since we purchase it so; we had to un-hock the piston rods and lowered the top by hand. I sure that the top motor will also need some attention Mice have nested in the interior but the wiring seems to look good.

I had only one 1966 Kansas license plate, so I move from the front to the rear when taken the photo. The paint on the car looks better in the photo than it really is, so take a good look.

If you have question, please don’t wait until the last minute to ask. I will return you e-mail up to 12 hours before close of the auction and phone calls up to 3 hours.

TERMS: Buy is responsible for removing the car and Transportation. Payment must be in full before picking up vehicle.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion

Fri, May 27 2016

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
