While that 77 is in very nice shape, the asking price is 2X what it is worth.

Agree...and that might even be slightly generous. Cool car but very limited appeal outside of Pontiac nuts like us.

I always liked the late 70s Buick/Pontiac 2 door B bodies. Especially the Buick Turbocharged Le Sabres.

Hmmm... I'd have said the downsized B-Body 2-doors have a strong niche market independent of brand. Asking price may be high, but I'll bet the seller can get within a couple K of that.

That 1976 Catalina has the optional gauges instead of idiot lights, which is pretty cool. I like the 1977 Catalina as well, too bad it has a 301 and not a 400 but that would be easy enough to fix. My understanding is suspension and brake upgrades meant for the 1994-1996 Impala SS can be retrofitted to those cars.

A 1974 Catalina for sale local to me. Not my style but for $3500 Canadian might be of interest to someone?

The 92's still had a Carb? Not Fuel Injection? That would surprise me.

Default What could you do with this????

Here in Australia, Australian Rules football is an obsession for half the population. But not with me!! Apparently this terrible thing was created for use in the 1991 Grand Final.

Bit of fun for 5 minutes but who on earth would want it 30 years later and why would someone keep it since then??

LOL! Now the mods are deleting public Craigslist ads. WOW!

There is a new news channel called NewsNation. Their motto is "Balance not bias". This place should try that concept..

How’s this for a “Shaggin’ Wagon”.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1972-Chevrol...MAAOSw0p9fZ7Tk

It says 200,000.00 invested. I guess the guy was single and didn’t have a wife to reel him in.

Looks almost like it was a demo for the builder's abilities rather than something personal. All the mechanical bits and items shown and not hidden away strike me as someone proud of their work and wanting to show it off, not something built to be a second home or a useful camper.

I get that the slammed look is in, but how do you actually drive something like that around so low to the ground?

For that kinda dough, he could have built a real 409 and modified it with all the modern injection/roller cam, etc. goodies.
But instead, he puts the faux valve covers on it, for whoever that's gonna please.

That's the first time I've ever seen those.
