This is a fantastic example of a true survivor car. I purchased this car a few weeks ago from it's original owner. It spent the first few years of it's life garaged in Petaluma, California, then they moved to Stevinson, California where it has been garaged and driven very little until now. The interior is amazingly clean and it still has the original factory installed 8-track radio. I lowered the car slightly by removing the coil springs, cutting a coil off with the cutoff saw and reinstalling them. I installed new chrome Boss 338 staggered wheels with new tires and replaced the factory mufflers with new glass packs. Other then those modifications, the car is stock and runs and drives like a new car. The engine is the factory 315hp 455 ci V8. It has a small exhaust leak coming from the right manifold, maybe a doughnut or gasket. Also, it needs a heater core. The AC system worked when it was parked a few years ago but needs to be charged now and I do not have the freon to charge an R12 system. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10 and the factory paint is a 7 in my opinion. It is very solid and rust free and I showed the car at a local show the other day but the paint is not perfect. It has a small golf ball sized dent on the top of the right fender next to the hood but that's the only dent I can find. Glass, chrome and rubber are very nice and the pictures don't lie.

I have sold classic cars and hot rods world wide and my feedback speaks for itself. Ask questions if you have them and I can email pictures of specific areas if you would like.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The 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.

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
