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

Pontiac could be a phoenix rising from the ashes
Tue, Apr 18 2017Of the deceased American car companies from the past 50 years such as Hummer, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Plymouth and Saturn, I believe the most worthy resurrection would be Pontiac. After all, it's no longer politically correct to drive an ex-military vehicle with single-digit gas mileage, nor do Millennials and Gen-Xers desire AARP-associated nameplates such as Mercury or Oldsmobile. Pontiac was originally founded in 1893 by Albert G. North and Harry G. Hamilton as the Pontiac Buggy Company, due to their location in Pontiac, Michigan. But as the early 1900s automotive revolution took off, they shifted their focus from horse-drawn carriages to motorized transportation. Taking a cue from Oakland County where they were based, they rebranded their organization as the Oakland Motor Company. Within a couple years, sales of Oakland cars were so good that it caught the attention of General Motors and they bought the company. In 1926, GM premiered the first Pontiac and its name drew inspiration from the legendary Native American War Chief, who was famous for the Battle of Bloody Run and opposition of British forces. His likeness was used in early promotional materials as well as the vehicle's emblem which was referred to simply as the "Indian Head". In 1956, the outdated emblem was replaced with a new, sleeker logo that resembled a red arrow head. It was known as "The Dart" and featured a singular star in the center which may have been a nod to Pontiac's successful Star Chief model. The 1960s saw the introduction of several popular models such as the GTO and the Firebird. The GTO was initially offered as an option package on the 1964 Tempest, and the name was the brainchild of John Delorean, who would later go on to form his own eponymous automobile company. The Firebird debuted in 1967 as a pony-car foil to Ford's award-winning Mustang. Although mechanically similar to Chevrolet's Camaro, the Firebird boasted a distinct sheetmetal nose and tail to help visually distinguish it. The 1980s were another adventurous time for Pontiac, and GM took advantage of the sales momentum by running a successful ad campaign. It proclaimed "We Build Excitement" and highlighted an arrangement with musicians Daryl Hall and John Oats. The fiery Fiero was a home-run for Pontiac and it was introduced in 1983 as an '84 model. Not only was it the first U.S. produced mid-engine sports coupe, but it also utilized lightweight, dent-resistant body panels.
6 car mashups that God never intended
Sat, May 17 2014In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.

Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel
Sat, Nov 22 2014When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.
