Here is a list of much of the work performed on this car:
The 300 cubic inch V8 motor has been completely rebuilt. New pistons, valves, hydraulic rockers etc. All built to original factory specifications The factory aluminum intake and aluminum heads have been painted as they would have been from the factory. New Holley 2 barrel carburetor. Works better than the original but the original carburetor will come with the car. Transmission has been upgraded from the original 2 speed automatic transmission to a freshley rebuilt 3 speed turbo 350. The differential has been checked out, was fine, and the fluid was changed. Custom dual exhaust was built for the car. It runs up and over the rear axel so it looks like a factory original exhaust. New full length floor pans and trunk floor sheet metal was installed. All rust repair was done by cutting out the cancer and welding in new metal. No half-assed bondo or fiberglass was used to cover up anything! All suspension parts that normally wear out were replaced with new parts and all of the suspension parts were painted with POR-15 to stop any future rust! (if you don't know what POR-15 is, you need to look into it....it's a fantastic product that eliminates rust problems!) All new interior. Carpet, seat covers, door panels, dash etc. Almost every piece of chrome was rechromed and every stainless moulding was professionally polished. New black vinyl top, plus the top frame was disassembled and restored! (Just the top assembly took nearly a week to restore!) It's a manual not a power top. It is very easy to put up and take down. Car has been lowered several inches. It could stand to be lowered a few more to be honest. New windshield, all other glass is original and in excellent condition. All new brakes. 2 new drums. This includes new hoses and even a new master cylinder. It stops great for 4 wheel drum brakes! It does not have power brakes. Oil pressure, water temp & amp guages have been added. Factory AM radio still in the dash. An aftermarket stereo that tilts away out of site has been added. Custom made front kick panels have built in stereo speakers! New Boyd Coddington aluminum rims and tires It starts easily, stops straight and fast, runs nice and seems to drive down the road straight! Simply put, it runs like a new car! Listed for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early if the asking price is met. |

7 major automakers to build open EV charging network
Wed, Jul 26 2023A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not. "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche. In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure. "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.
