This is not a Show Car but a Super Cool Weekend Cruiser.

 

I am helping a Dr. friend liquidate part of his car collection, as he is not longer able or interested in enjoying and he wants someone else to enjoy (look for others to come).

He has owned the car for 7 years and did the following work sparing no expense by professionals: New paint job with gold flake white color (beautiful); accent stripes, (2 slightly different colors, that match the dash panels beautifully, new interior, including headliner; complete exhaust system replaced; new brakes, new tires and American Racing Wheels

(perfect condition), replaced the 4-barrel carb with after market Edelbrock (needs adjusting, and I am in line with my mechanic to get that done, runs good at highway speeds, sluggish when starting);

Remote Pop-out door openers (notice no handles) that are very nice.  The car has rare electric driver seat (manual passenger), and swing away steering wheel (easy entry access). The power windows, even the power vent windows work great. All glass is very good!

 

The car needs a new trunk pad (available online for $115.00), and the radiator tank needs painting (see pics) looks like it may not have been painted, or painted poorly. A couple little nicks and a small piece if chrome trim around the passenger side head light is missing ( I had not noticed this until a 74 yr old tire kicker who spent 2 hrs with his magnifying glass pointed it out last weekend) and there is a small scrape on the bumper (got a little too close to his garage wall). The inside rear view mirror is missing (arm is there) and the remote mirror on the drive door is cracked (remote works good).

 

The car rides and drives like a dream and has tons of power. 

 

This car is not perfect but a fantastic value, as you can cruise with it now (I have carried it out 3 times, and even my wife who hates old cars thinks it's "Hot".)

 

Classic Example of Muscle and Luxury Indeed! The car is Beautiful, you will be impressed!

 

Please read this carefully! If you have a feedback less than 20, don't bid unless you talk to me. I will cancel and ban your bids. I learned the hard way (cost me $125 last listing) that I can cancel your bid.

If you are legitimate and don't have to borrow the $$$ from your rich uncle or wait until your tax refund comes in,  we can deal. Do not show up and waste my time with a silly low ball offer. If the car does not sell I am going to buy it myself. My wife loves it, and I have already made room for it.

 

I will try my best to answer all your logical questions asap, so please contact me.

The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction, so don't let it get away if you want it!

 

Good Luck, thanks,

steve in Chattanooga

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Detroit automakers keep their masks on to keep the factories running

Tue, Oct 27 2020

United Auto Workers members leave the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Warren Truck Plant in May. Fiat Chrysler along with rivals Ford and General Motors Co., restarted the assembly lines after several weeks of coronavirus lockdown. (AP)   DETROIT — When the coronavirus pandemic slammed the United States in March, the Detroit Three automakers shut their plants and brought their North American vehicle production to an unprecedented cold stop. Now, four months after a slow and sometimes bumpy restart in May, many General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles  factories are working at close to full speed, chasing a stronger-than-expected recovery in sales. So far, none of the Detroit Three has had a major COVID-19 outbreak since restarting production, even as the coronavirus is surging in Midwestern and Southern communities outside factory walls. "We have people testing positive, but it's not affecting operations," said Ford global manufacturing chief Gary Johnson. Keeping the pandemic at bay has pushed the automakers and 156,000 U.S. factory employees represented by the United Auto Workers into unfamiliar work routines and extraordinary levels of cooperation among the rival automakers that will have to be sustained for months to come. For automakers, the automakers' COVID response has been as much about instilling new habits as relying on new technology. Workers log their symptoms, or lack of them, into smartphone apps and walk past temperature scanners to get to their work stations. But company and union executives said masks, along with physical distancing, are the key to keeping assembly lines rolling. "The mask is the foundation" of protecting workers on the job, said Johnson. Complaints about masks Autoworkers are accustomed to wearing protective gear such as shatterproof glasses and gloves. Masks that cover the mouth and nose, however, were not standard equipment on auto assembly lines, and were a tough sell at first. "The biggest complaint is wearing a mask," United Auto Workers President Rory Gamble told Reuters. "A lot of our members perform physical tasks. Wearing the mask inhibits breathing." Beyond that, Gamble said, masks and distancing make it harder for workers to have conversations on the job or socialize during breaks. "ThatÂ’s pretty much out the window, and it makes for a longer day," he said. Masks make it harder for co-workers to read each other's expressions — often crucial in the noisy environment of a car plant.

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
