Is there any sites to have an idea how much a car could worth

davepl · davepl

I know it's a US car, and this is Canadian Poncho, but it's sort of the only good fullsize Pontiac forum around and I now have both US and Canadian cars, so: I picked this one up at the Mecum auction in Florida yesterday. It should be getting shipped up to Seattle (a long way, about as far as you can go withi...

Does anyone know the WHY part of why the L72 (425hp) motor was never offered in our cars? They made it into the US full size Chev cars, so like light monitoring and every other weird Chevy option we got, why didn't get get the L72 as an engine option here? I'm speaking primarily of 69, but from searching t...

Anyone know what this option actually was? Like the HD air cleaner, I've never seen one. And who'd order one, except maybe a taxi company? I guess a knowledgeable customer might expect it to reduce sludge or something, but it seems like a weird option!

One thing I noticed about big block cars is that the hood light, if equipped, moves to follow the dipstick. So a big block car should have it on the passenger side. On one original car I've seen the oil change sticker moves to that side as well, but I don't know if that's a correct detail or not - did the fact...

Has anyone ever seen one? I use the 1969 Impala manual as it's close for most mechanical stuff, but can't help but wonder what they actually did back in the day. Did they have a Canada-specific book? After all, there's Canada-specific shop manuals to service them, so you'd think they'd need a speci...

A while back I had a thread for "What's this marker light" because it was squared off and no accomodation for side trim, but was not like the round ones I have on my 2+2. We decided they were probably for coaches (ambulances and hearses) and sure enough, found a couple of examples of them. Now, however, I...

I don't know that we've decided the US and Canadian wire spokes are the same yet, but here's a set of brand new NOS caps. They want $1600, which is a little rich for me. I paid $1500 for NOS truck caps that were rare, but there were 58 other bidders behind me, whereas no one is bidding on these: http://www....

Thought I'd pass along the GM docs on the 427/390 2+2 Four Speed Convertible that I'm chasing. Well equipped from a performance standpoint! It's also the only car I've found with the F41 option, but I just might be forgetting... In terms of "luxury", there's nothing - AM radio and no AC, just power wi...

For Eric or others in the Sask area, back in the 80s there was a convertible 427 2+2 that was orange. It was so rusty I have serious doubts the car survived intact, but since you never know, I figured I'd ask. I test-drove an identical Alberta car out in Ottawa that was a clone of it - also Orange (or Carouse...

Someone was asking a while back if red stripe tires were available, and indeed they are. I just documented a car that has: P91 - Tire G70-15-4 PR HWY - FB - RED STRIPE It also has rally wheels, so an attractive combination I'm sure! These are my radial repros, but should give you the rough idea. The car i...

I spent a bunch of time on the phone with an archivist that kindly went through their stats book trying to sort out how many of a particular model were built.

I am so glad someone on this forum gave me these pages years ago. I have used them as reference many times. If you have an interest in 66's and want to see what it would cost to order one the way you would like it, or want to see what was available, what wasn't etc, these pages are for you.

When I first received my repro air cleaner decals I didn't put them on for a couple of years because they didn't fit the curvature of the lid very well, so I thought maybe I had the wrong lid. But every original I've seen looks wonky too. Is this what they all look like, or is something wrong here? It's exa...
