Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

1963 Pontiac Safari wagon This is a super fun car. I've owned it for a couple years and have put a lot of time and money into making it a safe and reliable, turn key car. I would drive it anywhere without hesitation. If you are the high bidder, rest assured you can fly in and drive home without concern. It's been all over the country on the Hot Rod Power Tour and several Good Guys or NCRS shows. We have had a blast with it. It has a smooth riding, fully adjustable 4 way air ride suspension with bags and shocks on all four corners. Engine is 1969 400 that has been fully rebuilt with a lumpy Summit cam, new pistons, timing set, oil pump, seals, etc. I just installed a new 2200 B&M stall converter with a new Hays high performance flex plate and new starter. Runs cool with high performance aluminum radiator. It has new rear axle bearings and seals. Exhaust is all new with Flowmaster 40's and 3" pipes. Has cross over installed and sounds deep and rowdy! Always gets "thumbs up". Averages 15 mpg on the highway at 65 mph with tall 2.90 rear gear and 235/75/15 tires. 15x6 and 15x8 wheels tuck under fenders without rubbing. It has a new heater core. All of the headlights, tail lights, turn signals and wipers work perfectly. Heat and defrost work perfectly. Gas gauge works but drops quickly from 1/4 tank reading.
Body is super solid! NO RUST THROUGH anywhere on the car. It came out of the Northwest and never was subjected to salted roads. The floorboards and tailgate are beautiful and rust free. No patchwork anywhere on the car!!! No filler and no paintwork ever. This car has the patina that only Mother Nature can produce from 51 years of honest use. No FAUXTINA! Interior is very nice and comfortable. Seats and door panels are originals with minor defects. The seats and springs are still firm and not all bagged out. Door panels are super nice. All the wind-lace has been replaced. All the interior vinyl in the cargo area has been restored with original vinyl from SMS with the correct stitching. New headliner. Over the past year I have invested over $2000 in the interior alone. Electric rear window works perfectly. Color matched Super Sport steering wheel and working NOS swamp cooler round out the interior. All the interior stainless has been polished. Carpet, pad and sound deader, wind-lace, cargo area trim and headliner are NOS I really enjoy this car and don't mind keeping it, but have several unfinished cars that need my attention. The money from this one will help me finish at least four of my other cars. Priced below build cost. Hard to find wagon. Bid early, bid often and bid to win. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. Please ask any questions before you bid. Please make sure you have your funds lined up because I seriously doubt that your local credit union is going to float you on this one.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

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.
