1962 Pontiac 389 FORGED RODS - set of 8 - removed from a 1962 Bonneville 389. Nothing has been done to these rods since pins were pressed out of pistons. They have not been cleaned or shot peened. We did wire brush one a bit to see if light surface rust would come off and it did. Engine as standard bore with all 8 original GM marked pistons. Engine had not run for many years. There was water rust evidence in 3 of the cylinders between the heads and the piston top, and it appeared it had suffered leaking head gaskets. We pulled the heads for parts for another rebuild. We know nothing more about these forged rods other than they are found only in 62 and prior engines and are somewhat rare now. Sold complete set "AS IS" Pictures show all 8 in #1, and each picture set of two thereafter shows each side of a pair of rods so you can view all of them totally. 541-480-9200
"IF IT WAS A OE STOCK PART ON A 62 THROUGH 66 PONTIAC FULL SIZE CAR OR A 73-76 GRAND PRIX, WE PROBABLY HAVE IT" 541-480-9200

AW survey: Honda Element won't be missed
Wed, 15 Dec 2010Is Honda making a mistake by killing the Element SUV after the 2011 model year? AutoWeek readers think not. Our poll shows that 56 percent of voters indicated a readiness to wave good-bye to the “toaster on wheels.” On the other hand, 32 percent found the Element was supremely useful and cool, and 12 percent signaled they didn't know how to transport their dogs anymore in its absence (remember the “dog-friendly” Element?).
