The History/ownership of the van: NO KIDS to ruin this van.  An elderly couple owned the van first, it's super clean inside and out and was serviced regularly.
I bought the van from them to help them pay their Nursing home bills at the home where I worked in Oswego.
A month after I got the title for the van and after putting  a ton of money into it to get it in perfect working order for this winter I had a siezure at work  and
was diagnosed with a siezure disorder,  I have had my license revoked and can no longer drive, band my wife just got s new truck. So my loss will be your gain.
Come drive this van you won't believe how nice it is!!!!!!!!

There is some exterior body rust as with most older upstate NY vehicles,  please see the running boards in the pictures as they have been repaired and painted in some area, again see pictures or come look at it and drive it while you're here, but the repairs are barely noticable even in person, the rust is clearly visible in the pictures.  The rust does not affect the body frame only sub frame(body panels) or it wouldn't have passed inspection.
Totally reconditioned to like new condition with lots of maintenance done to get it ready for this winter.  I used to drive 45 minutes each way to Oswego every day and needed a reliable vehicle to get me there every day snow or not(see below for the entire list of newly serviced parts and maintenance done since I got the title last November 2012 when I had the first siezure.)

Invoices for the work will be provided with the title, bill of sale and all other paperwork I have for the vehicle upon completing the purchase.

KBB Value : $3,083.00 for Good condition, although I believe it to be considered Very Good, but not excellent as it does have a few minor cosmetic issues
and a cassette player with no backlight, but with all the work that's been done and the new tires(49,000 miles remaining at the very least),
new battery, other parts, maintenance,  etc which lists at $3,158.00. Although I have way more money into it than either of these figures
see below for the rundown of the maintenance done and the cost... I have the receipts for all the parts and labor done since I got the title, and will supply
them upon purchase Any way you look at it you're over the KBB value by $750.00 right from the beginning, because I wanted everything to be perfect
for my winter driving since I spent 1 1/2 hours in my vehicle at least every day and was required to be at work every day even in a blizzard,
because Nursing homes run 24/7/365, but again you really need to drive and see the van to appreciate how nice it really is and and don't just read about it.
So call to schedule a time to stop by, drive it and kick the brand new tires!
Call Shawn 315-456-8694 anytime 8 AM to 10PM or stop by to look at it at 102 Westfall Drive (across from Wegmans on Genesee St. in Fairmont)

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Junkyard Gem: 1964 Pontiac Catalina Custom Ventura

Mon, May 22 2023

Like Impala, Skylark, Malibu and Silverado (among many others), the Ventura name began its career as the designation for a trim level or option package used on another GM model, then became a model name in its own right. Initially a designation for a snazzed-up Pontiac Catalina two- or four-door hardtop, the Ventura name moved over to a Pontiac-ized version of the Chevy Nova for 1971. Today's Junkyard Gem, found in a Northern California car graveyard, proudly bears both Catalina and Ventura badging. Actually, the Catalina name itself started out as a trim level for the Chieftain and Star Chief models of the 1950s, just to confuse everybody. By the time this car was built, the Catalina was the cheapest of four Pontiac models built on the same full-size B-Body platform as the big Chevrolets and Olds 88s of the time (the Star Chief, Bonneville and Grand Prix ranked above it on the 1964 Pontiac Prestige-O-Meter). The 1964 Catalina four-door hardtop with the Custom Ventura package offered a lot of swank per dollar, with a price starting at $3,063. That's about $29,821 when converted to inflated 2023 dollars. The main benefit of the Custom Ventura package was an interior done up entirely in Morrokide upholstery. Morrokide was the name GM applied to Naugahyde fake leather when used in Pontiac vehicles; when used in Buicks, it was known as Cordaveen, while Oldsmobile Naugahyde was called Morocceen. Naugahyde took its name from the town of Naugatuck, Connecticut, where it was invented. This car's Morrokide is in rough shape. In fact, everything about this car is decayed and probably infectious. You know to be careful when a junkyard car has warnings about rat feces inked on the glass. That said, I couldn't resist examining the 8-track tapes that littered the interior. Here's Hotel California, the 1976 hit album by the Eagles. Supertramp's Paris, a live album recorded from the 1979 Breakfast in America tour, is here as well. Here's The Best of Carly Simon, from 1975. The tapes were played on this Sparkomatic player, which probably lived in the glovebox or under the seat. The factory radio was AM-only, and includes the frequency markings for the atomic-attack CONELRAD emergency frequencies. 1964 was the last year for mandatory CONELRAD radios in the United States.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
