A fellow on Facebook posted this photo of this emblem on his dash celebrating 100000 miles. Anyone else ever see one? He has a 64 Custom Sport (which in one photo appears to be a 409). Perhaps this is a member?

The module is potted in epoxy and if the tech could find info that stated the component values he could repair it. This is a long shot but does anyone h...

Is this worth buying for parts? What should I pay? I would strip and sell parts, I have no use for the car. Please don't tell me it's fixable, it's been under flood water, parked since about 1978. More pictures to follow.

My 1963 Pontiac Parisienne has a 283 block number 9V280505 I'm thinking it may not be the original motor for the car. Can anyone tell me if this is a 1963 built engine, if not, what year would it most likely be from. Also what was the motor # range for motors built in 1963. Thanks, -G

Did they have enough for 2 passengers in the rear seat.....or three? I keep thinking it was generally for only 2 rear passengers....not sure. On the bench seat in front, was it common to have a set for the middle passenger ? Anybody recall?
