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 expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
