This is a 4 month old restoration of a rust free very nice 87K original mile 1974 Gran Torino.  I am a sucker for anything from my childhood and bought a very straight rust free never been hit car to start. I did my research and between paint, wheels and interior managed to make a very accurate clone of the Starsky and Hutch cars I grew up with. The reserve is set at much less than I have into the car. The motor was totally gone threw, and tuned with an aftermarket Edelbrock Carb, The car was stripped and painted with an expensive two stage paint and color sanded. Not to mention to different stages of taping and painting to achieve the perfect stripes. Then the car received a new headliner, carpet and seat padding and upholstery. The car sounds and drives amazingly. The stereo is not original, but a detachable face cd player am/fm.  The steering wheel has two cracks in the black plastic.  And the gas gauge works speratically. The bumpers could use rechroming. Other than that the car is great. The glass is perfect. The chassis is rust free and straight.  The trunk is rust free and has never been replaced. There are no problems in the paint of any kind.  ZERO scratches, chips, dings.  The tires and rims have about 150 miles on them tops!  I spared no expense to recreate the car I wanted. The more you research these cars the more you'll see how exacting this car is. I think if you found 10 of these cars you wouldn't find one as good. The grill isn't all broken up.  The trim around the wheel well is there and straight. The car runs great and can be driven with one finger. I've taken some friends out to Hollywood and around LA a couple times having a great time.  I also have picked my kids up from school and the friends loved it. Honestly though, the people that love it the most are the 35-55 year old men that grew up with the show. Anyway, I've had my fun restoring and driving it, and like guitars and watches, my ADHD kicks in and I get bored.  There are always other cars I want to experience and I thought I would start selling the car now. I am ready to take a loss, but not give the car away.  Last Summer equivalent cars were selling on ebay for $20-25K. This is a FRESH restoration from California. Home of the original TV and movie cars. The car is housed at the Torrance Airport generally but can be brought home to Palos Verdes Estates for viewing with one days notice. Call 3102595195 to schedule. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as I have friends that are interested in buying or trading. Thanks for looking and bidding.

2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate vs. 2022 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn vs. Ford F-150 Limited | Luxury truck interior face-off

Fri, Oct 22 2021

GMC's new uber-expensive 2022 Sierra Denali Ultimate is the latest luxury truck to nudge toward six-figure territory. With demand for upmarket half-tons surging, GMC's otherwise-solid pickup found itself in desperate need of an interior remodel. For 2022, we're getting just that, and it appears ready to take the fight to the segment's best, including the 2022 Ram 1500 Limited and 2022 Ford F-150 Limited. Here's the new Denali Ultimate interior in all of its full-grain, open-pore glory. 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2021 GMC Denali  Not only did the material quality and styling both improve greatly, but the new truck also gets a completely different shifter setup (truck buyers don't like column shifters anymore, apparently). It would actually be difficult to overstate the quality of the upgrade here; the photos really speak for themselves. It's also worth noting that in addition to looking significantly more upscale than the model it's succeeding, the new Denali interior also differs a bit more from its Chevy counterpart than its predecessor did. Here's the new Silverado High Country for reference: While some elements do carry over, the entire dash design is different, down to the positioning of the heating and cooling vents. While the main HVAC controls are essentially carried over, note that they're pretty much the only ones. Even the horizontal bar of switches running along the center stack is positioned differently between the two. Yep. This is a pretty big upgrade over the 2021 cabin, and clearly the range-topper in GM's truck hierarchy. But what of the competition? 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2022 Ram Limited Longhorn Southfork This one's tough. We're going to have to spend time in them back to back, but the Ram Limited, with its various anniversary editions and other special permutations, is certainly the interior to beat. To our eyes, the Sierra's more horizontal layout is a bit more modern and perhaps luxurious-looking than the more upright cabin treatment of the Ram, but it's tough to say for certain from photos. Both the Denali Ultimate and Ram Limited carry their upscale feel into their back benches too, which is something we can't say quite as confidently about our next contestant.  2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2021 Ford F-150 Limited The Ford F-150 Limited holds its own, but it's probably the least photogenic of the models we've looked at here, at least apart from the outgoing Denali.
