I HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING THE FIRST HALF OF THIS CARS LIFE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT PRIOR TO MY ACQUIRING THIS CAR IT HAD SAT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE FACILITY FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 YEARS. THE PERSON I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAD DONE QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO THE CAR BUT UNFORTUNATELY, VERY LITTLE OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE HAD BEEN DONE RIGHT, SO LET ME BEGIN THERE. THE CAR HAD A HORRIBLE BACKFIRE AND IDLED LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT HER. I FOUND THAT THE WRONG PLUGS HAD BEEN USED AND BRAIDED IGNITION WIRES, THE CARB HAD BEEN SWITCHED OUT AND WHOMEVER BUILT IT HAD DONE A REALLY POOR JOB, THE EXHAUST WAS ALL WRONG AS WELL. I FOUND A MATCHING NUMBERS CARB COMPLETE WITH AN NOS ORIGINAL DASH POT AND MACHINED AND REBUILT IT. I TUNED THE ENGINE WITH DELCO PLUGS AND SOLID CORE IGNITION WIRES, NEW COIL, CAP, ROTOR, POINTS AND CONDENSER, AIR AND FUEL FILTER.  I INSTALLED A NEW EXHAUST, MANDREL BENT TO FIT AS ORIGINAL AND SELECTED A MAGNAFLOW MUFFLER SO YOU CAN HEAR A LITTLE RUMBLE FROM THOSE 500 CU INCHES. THE A/C DIDN'T WORK AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL NEEDED SOME TLC. I CONVERTED THE SYSTEM TO 134 AND INSTALLED A NEW OE COMPRESSOR, REWORKED THE CONTROL HEAD AND POWER SERVO, INSTALLED A NEW HEATER CONTROL VALVE; THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM WORKS LIKE NEW NOW. I RECORED THE ORIGINAL RADIATOR AND INSTALLED A NEW THERMOSTAT, BELTS AND HOSES. NEW BATTERY, NEW ALTERNATOR AND REGULATOR AS WELL. THE BRAKES ARE ALL NEW, I MEAN EVERY COMPONENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NEW. NEW TIRES, AMERICAN CLASSICS, THESE ARE REAL WHITE WALL TIRES DIRECT FROM COKER TIRE. THE FRONT END WAS SOLID ON THE CAR EXCEPT FOR THE TIE ROD ENDS SO THEY WERE REPLACED AND THE FRONT END ALIGNED. THIS CAR RUNS STRAIGHT WITH OUT HOLDING THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL STAYS AT 6 O'CLOCK. THE TRANSMISSION SIDE COVER HAD A SMALL LEAK SO I PULLED THE TRANNY OUT AND WENT THROUGH IT, WHILE THE TRANNY WAS OUT OF THE CAR THE ENGINE GOT NEW FREEZE PLUGS, THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS SERVICED AND NEW CV AXLES WERE INSTALLED. I HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER CUSTOM BUILT WITH TORRINGTON BEARINGS. THERE ARE NO MORE LEAKS ANYWHERE ON THIS CAR. THE SUSPENSION IS ALL BRAND NEW AND THIS CAR FLOATS JUST LIKE A BOAT. NOW LETS TALK INTERIOR; THERE IS NOT A CRACK OR SCRATCH INSIDE THIS CAR AND EVERY GUAGE AND SWITCH WORKS. I REPLACED THE RADIO SPEAKERS, FRONT AND REAR AND ADDED XM, THE CONTROL HEAD IS UNDER THE DASH AND CAN BE EASILY REMOVED. I REPLACED THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER BLOWER BECAUSE IT HAD GONE BAD. ALL THE SEATS HAVE BEEN REBUILT WITH NEW FOAM AND THE DRIVER SEAT REUPHOLSTERED WITH A NOS SEAT COVER, ALL THE LEATHER IS VERY SUPPLE. CUSTOM MADE AND COLOR MATCHED CARPETED FLOOR MATS WITH CADILLAC LOGOS PROTECT THE ORIGINAL CARPETS. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, AN ORIGINAL SHOP MANUAL AND ALL RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS CAR.  THE ORIGINAL SOUND DEADENER IN THE TRUNK HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE WEATHERSTRIP SEAL AROUND THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK PANELS AND CARPET ARE ALL ORIGINAL. THE EXTERIOR PAINT HAS BEEN REDONE ON THE REAR QUARTERS AND LOWER DOORS BECAUSE THE PAINT JUST DIDNT LOOK THAT GOOD ANYMORE. I HAVE TRIED TO LEAVE THE ORIGINAL PAINT ALONE, BUT THAT IS MY PREFERENCE. I REPLACED THE ROCKER COVERS AS WELL. THIS IS A GREAT AUTOMOBILE, A REAL CLASSIC. A CAR THAT CAN BE DRIVEN EVERY DAY. I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING THIS CAR ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TWICE AND NEVER ONCE HAD A PROBLEM. THIS CAR LOOKS AND DRIVES LIKE A NEW CAR,  COME SEE FOR YOURSELF. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. 813-340-2222 MIKE

Frustrated GM investors ask what more Mary Barra can do

Mon, Oct 22 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra has transformed the No. 1 U.S. automaker in her almost five years in charge, but that is still not enough to satisfy investors. Ahead of third-quarter results due on Oct. 31, GM shares are trading about 6 percent below the $33 per share price at which they launched in 2010 in a post-bankruptcy initial public offering. The Detroit carmaker's stock is down 22 percent since Barra took over in January 2014. After hitting an all-time high of $46.48 on Oct. 24, 2017, the shares have declined 33 percent. In the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 7.8 percent. Several shareholders contacted by Reuters said GM could face a third major action by activist shareholders in less than four years if the share price does not improve. "I've been expecting it," said John Levin, chairman of Levin Capital Strategies. "It just seems a tempting morsel to somebody." Levin's firm owns more than seven million GM shares. Barra has guided the company through the settlement of a federal criminal probe of a mishandled safety recall, sold off money-losing European operations, and returned $25 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks from 2012 through 2017. GM declined to comment for this story, but the company's executives privately express frustration with the market's reluctance to see it as anything more than a manufacturer tied mainly to auto market sales cycles. GM's profitable North American truck and SUV business and its money-making China operations are valued at just $14 billion, excluding the value of GM's stake in its $14.6 billion Cruise automated vehicle business and its cash reserves from its $44 billion market capitalization. The recent slump in the Chinese market, GM's largest, and plateauing U.S. demand are ratcheting up the pressure. GM is one of the few global automakers without a founding family or a government to serve as a bulwark against corporate raiders. In 2015, a group led by investor Harry Wilson pressed GM to launch a $5 billion share buyback, and commit to what is now an $18 billion ceiling on the level of cash the company would hold. In 2017, GM fended off a call by hedge fund manager David Einhorn to split its common stock shares into two classes. Einhorn, whose firm still owned more than 21 million shares at the end of June, declined to comment about GM's stock price. Other investors said there were no clear alternatives to Barra's approach.

GM extends production at Detroit factory until early 2020

Fri, Feb 22 2019

General Motors Co said on Friday it had extended the production at its Detroit Hamtramck plant until January 2020, against an earlier plan to discontinue production in June this year. The No.1 U.S. automaker is revamping its operations, which include plant closures and thousands of job cuts, as it looks to boost profitability in the wake of declining U.S. auto sales. The Hamtramck plant will continue to produce the Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac CT6 sedans until early next year, the company said. "We are balancing production timing while continuing the availability of Cadillac advanced technology features currently included in the CT6-V — the Blackwing Twin-Turbo V-8 (engine) and Super Cruise (driver assistance system)," GM said. The plant has already discontinued production of the Buick LaCrosse sedan and Chevrolet Volt electric hybrid car. Detroit-based union United Auto Workers' President Gary Jones said GM's decision to continue production at the plant was a relief for the workers as well as their families. "We commend GM for today's decision and we reiterate the importance of a collective bargaining process in times like these," Jones said. Reporting by Ankit Ajmera. Related Video:

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
