Price My Classic

This pillarless sedan is from a very rare genre of classic vehicle: original and unrestored. Often referred to as -survivors-; these unrestored classics from the 60s and 70s are becoming harder to come by. Most cars from this era have either rotted away, been wrapped around a tree, or have been cut up and modified into a hot rod. This 1969 LeSabre sports what is believed to be its original paint. The Texas sun has weathered it gently to a nice-looking patina. Thanks to spending its life in Texas, the car may have some superficial surface rust, but the body and undercarriage are very solid. The interior is in surprisingly great shape which makes one think the odometer reading of 34,445 could be original (although this cannot be verified). Pop the hood and everything...

This example appears to have been well cared for through her life, as she appears very clean and original under her bonnet, and was given a new coat of white paint to freshen her up. This 250 is powered by the 2. 5L 6-cylinder engine, 152. 4 cu in, rated @ 128-hp, mated to an automatic transmission. This car presents very well, as the body will always remain current among high line cars. Though not a show car, we would surely state her as a very nice driver quality car. The white paint has a wonderful shine, and the Brown interior just shouts old class - is basic in appearance - but is stately at the same time - and is also in very good condition. She comes with the owner's manual, and carry...

NICE CAR TO CRUISE IN, NEEDS NOTHING RUNS GOOD. MOTOR HAS 1500 MILES ON...

This is truly a great find at this price. This Electra is brown on the exterior and has a tan vinyl interior, and the entire car has only 79,000 original miles. It is a numbers matching car with its original 430 CID V8 and automatic transmission still in the car. It has recently passed a state safety inspection, and had a lot of work performed including the carburetor rebuilt, new intake gasket, new valve gaskets, new rear axle seals, new fuel sending unit, and the fuel tank was resealed. It is ready...

A little history ,The name 'Catalina' was first used on the 1950 Chieftain Series 25/27 Hardtop, Pontiac's top trim level package at the time, and later added to the Star Chief in 1954, Pontiac's equivalent of the Chevrolet Bel Air. The 1969 Pontiacs received a major restyling with somewhat more squared off Sheet metal (though not as much as similar cars from other GM divisions) and rooflines, the coke bottle rear flanks were gone. However, the basic 1965 chassis, inner-body structure and four-door pillared sedan roofline were retained although vent windows were dropped on all models and Safari wagons got a new two-way tailgate that could be opened to the side like a door or downward like a tailgate - similar in design to that introduced by Ford Motor Company on Ford/Mercury wagons in 1966. Catalinas also got a one-inch wheelbase increase to 122. Headrests became standard on all '69 Pontiacs built after January 1. All 1969 GM cars (except the Corvair) got a new locking steering column that would become a Federal requirement starting with the 1970 models.

Variable-ratio power steering was a new option this year ( pioneered by Cadillac in 1966 ) and front disc brakes were now...
