1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, Catalina Drivers Rocker Patch Panel -- Rare on 2040-parts.com
Bend, Oregon, US
1962 Pontiac Catalina, Grand Prix Driver side PATCH PANEL that goes behind rear wheel well. . Good piece of original rear lower 1/4 panel to repair that rust spot or hole you have. Measures about 33" at bottom from end to end of rear crimp. Picture # 2 shows what looks like a nail hole rather than a rust hold - easy weld. Pics 3 & 4 show bottom bend slits with solid metal on each side - another easy weld. Pics 5 & 6 show brown spots and surface rust which are not cancerous and eating through - metal is solid. Has a little surface rust. Inner panel for wheel well still attached in part with a little cancer (you will use your inner panel), but it appears no serious cancer in outer panel. You never see one of these for sale. We rarely get 62 1/4's that are any good and fewer panels for patches. First one we have ever had. This is not some cheap Chinese junk thin metal knockoff (I don't think they are made for 62's anyway) , but a real HD original metal fender patch piece. Not cheap, as ANY 62 salvage is more than double to triple later years. Much cheaper to ship than a fender. We also have good repaired fenders for sale (factory metal replacement in the one lower spot at the bottom that always gets cancer - $195) and excellent cancer free fenders as well. Check our Pontiac Parts West store or call 541-480-9200.

Merc to revive straight six, plus 4cyl and smaller V8s
Tue, 25 Oct 2011Mercedes has just signed off a new engine family which will see most full-sized Mercs in future run four-cylinders, downsized V8s and… straight sixes. A friendly Mercedes engineer recently met CAR to disclose the engine plans for future models, including the surprise disclosure that Merc plans to switch to straight sixes, like its rivals over in Munich. It's fair to say I almost choked on my breakfast croissant when I found out the details of the next MB engine generation which has just been signed off for release in 2015. Mercedes' future four-cylinder engines Again, there will be a family of new low-cost fours, and the big-bore V8s will be replaced by a series of downsized turbocharged 4.0-litre units.
