This is a very cool and rare old Pontiac Catalina Convertible with Factory Tri-power. It is a heavily optioned car and rare color combo. Options are: Power steering, brakes, top, windows, vent windows, and seat. Other options are, dome light, lighted rear trunk emblem, tri-power, and autronic eye. Color is Royal Amethyst Poly code # NN. Interior is tri-tone silver. It is an older restoration that still shows very well. Cosmetic Condition: Paint is very presentable but no longer show quality. Looks like a single stage enamel or maybe lacquer? There is some slight imperfections here and there, the worst is in the valleys of the rear fins. The interior was all replaced and a new top installed. Both are still super nice. All chrome and stainless trim is mostly very good to excellent except the bumpers. They are driver quality. Underside is clean but not show quality. No visible rust issues anywhere. Mechanical Condition: Engine and trans were rebuilt and still run out fine. There is a hesitation with the carbs when accelerating. Probably could use a carb adjustment from someone that actually knows tri-power induction. Exhaust and brakes are new. Tires are new wide white bias ply tires. Look great, but they do not ride like radials. Misc stuff: All gauges work including speedometer. Lights all work. Windows all work, but there is a very small chip in front windshield. Wipers do not work and the heater has been bypassed. Never researched either one. There is an old in dash AM/FM Cassette radio that does not play. Probably because there is a high end stereo CD player in the glove box with a separate booster amp / equalizer and a large woofer in the trunk. It does work. The top goes up fine, but needs help to come back down. Looks like a new pump and all new hoses were installed? No parade boot. There are original wheels and hubcaps in the trunk as well as an original try-power air cleaner with a new filter, the original jack, a new spare tire cover and trunk mat. There is no spare tire. Wheels are vintage Keystone mags. Decent shape for their age and the retro style looks like they could have been a factory option back then. Even has the Pontiac "V" logo on the center caps. It is showing 76,460 miles on the working odometer, but I have no way of knowing if it is actual or not. I also do not know where this car originated from. The cowl tag must have been removed during the restoration but never made it back on. All in all, this is a very nice car that you can drive as is and have a lot of fun with. Or it would be an easy car to restore to a higher level. NO TRADES NO TRADES NO TRADES Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. Thanks, Dave I do not respond to text messages One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a vehicle that I would be interested in. I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will contact you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction. I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying the vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on. If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or less than 10 feedbacks, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. Non-paying winners are a real problem for sellers and it is hard to get seller fees refunded from Ebay in a timely manner, if at all. For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership. Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave 314-732-592five |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
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.
