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 recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following 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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi
Sat, Jun 19 2021The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.
