Default Craig Listers......have you noticed

that the Pontiac cars/parts have dried up on your local CL?In the soutwest here we have(had) a pretty good supply.But it seems in the past six months there hasn't been SQUAT listed.

I notice that the ones who post pontiac cars for sale that they put a price that is way too much for what they are selling.

If I do see any Pontiac parts, they want way too much. $1200 for a "ran when it was pulled" 350 engine.

From the above CL ad:


"$12,487 Low retail, $20,655 mid retail , $36,045 restored in great shape"




I cruise CL daily for Pontiac parts and cars............I just don't know where these people come up with these insane prices for stuff.

Two months ago I stumbled on an add for vintage snowmobiles. At the bottom was also 69 Camaro parts. I bought a core support, valance panel, and RS grille all NOS for $150.00. It was 9 miles from my house. Lucky for me it wasn't listed in auto parts.

Hit or miss here in Jville. I have scored some good parts for my 78 TA at good prices but the stuff dosent last long. There are a few pontiac guys in the area and one will ussually jump on anything Pontiac related that is a deal. Last score I got was a set of Mickey Thompson valve cover. Paid 10.00 for the pair and all I Had to do was clean and paint them. Also got 4 snowflake wheels for 80.00.

Never has been much of a Pontiac presence on the Craigslist here, except for maybe worn out late model Grand Ams.

I'd love to see that 66 Star Chief. That's a good price if it's as good as it looks in the photos. I haven't seen one of those in ages.... and never have seen a 66 SC convertable. If I had the spare money and room to put I'd grab it.
