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. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package
Sun, Dec 22 2019Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
