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

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It 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: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan

Tue, Feb 7 2017

During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.
