1965 Pontiac Catalina Ventura 6.4l on 2040-cars
Ben Lomond, California, United States
|
Up for bid it my family's 65 Catalina, bought new by my grandfather. He gave it to me about 10 years ago, and after a short time driving it, it sat covered in a carport. Now it's time to let the old gal go.
The good: This is an original California car, bought new in Fremont, CA. Comes with the original black and orange plates. The motor has never been opened up except for my installing a new timing chain 10 years ago. A month ago I began working on the car; I pulled the plugs and found the engine turned with no issues. I drained the fuel tank and ran a separate line from the fuel pump to a gas can. The car fired right up and idles smooth. The undercarriage is rust free. Here's the details: Original paint Excellent chrome, no dents on bumpers Very good interior, including Original loop carpet Very good interior chrome Original AM radio Excellent headliner/no tears No tears in the seats, but see photo for seam separation on the driver's side. All interior/exterior lights work, including spool light in trunk 3/4 original T3 headlights Original wheel covers Original trunk liner in fair condition Non-original AC (disconnected) Copy of original shop manual included Comes with California vehicle registrations beginning in 1966 until registered Non-Op Original Owners Protection Plan booklet and Owner's Guide The not-so-good The rear window developed a leak into the trunk years ago. My grandfather tried to fix it with silicon, but water still got in. Ultimately, body work will have to be done around the rear window to make the car water tight. There is also rust pitting on some of the paint surfaces. There are two significant scratches on the driver side rear fender, one that has a small crease (see photo). There is also some sort of dent/scratch on the passenger door, just about in the middle above the chrome trim. I'm sure my grandfather washed the car with dish soap back in the day, and the paint is getting a bit thin on some corners, most noticeably the spine on the trunk. There are small parking lot dings, most were touched up by hand by my grandfather. Not the best fix. Most of the rubber trim needs to be replaced. I would also recommend replacing coolant and brake rubber, given that the car has sat for 10 years. The car will need a battery and new tires. All in all, this is a pretty nice 10 footer. Much closer than that and you can see the body and paint issues. I am not a professional seller. I've got great feedback and do my best to keep things fair. You will be buying this car as it, so please contact me for any additional info or photos. You can also call eight three one, two three nine - one six four four.

On Mar-23-14 at 17:56:52 PDT, seller added the following information: Quick update for you die hard classic car fans: I found the temp registration slip issued in '65 and the first 65 permanent registration slip. I have slips from 1965 to 1998. |

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes
Sat, Jun 20 2015General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.

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.
