It rides beautifully and is incredibly reliable.
We enjoy taking it to local and regional cars shows when the weather is nice and it is always a standout
entry winning awards very frequently. The color is Honduras Maroon (only about 1700 made in this color). The
interior seats were replaced a few years ago as was the instrument cluster (NOS) and all of the gauge faces. The
Wonderbar radio is original but has been rebuilt to include digital circuitry and AM/FM capability. New speakers
were added at the same time. The convertible top is black and has one small tear but the frame is in great
condition and the mechanism works well. I have the original color matched hardtop for the car and it is in
beautiful condition. These hardtops (if you can find them!) sell in excess of $7000.00. The hard top has its one
storage cart and dust cover which will go with the car. About two years ago I had a full custom warning harness
installed made by Lectric Limited....they are the gold standard in custom wiring harnesses. I have replaced the
original Harrison radiator with a custom Be Cool aluminum radiator which assures that the engine runs cool and
doesn't overheat, even in the warmest temperatures. I do however have the original Harrison radiator and it will go
with the car. A few years ago, I found some original spinner hub caps for the car and I installed Coker radials in
the original 1 1/4" whitewall style. Everything I have done with my car has been to keep it as original as possible
and as reliable as possible because I honestly like driving it, not worrying about it. I have lots of memorabilia
with this car (models, manuals, etc) as well as a three ring binder with all of the service records and receipts
for special upgrades and equipment purchased and installed over the last 11 years. This car is a real gem and the
new owner is really going to not only get a classic, but a great running one as well!!

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
