1963 Pontiac Safari Wagon. Well Sorted, Full Air Ride, Crowd Pleaser, Turn Key! on 2040-cars
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.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
