71,836 miles, solid & rust free CA built Skylark Convertible…

I have added photos with carpets removed, to show the floor pans as amazing condition, showing very solid with not even surface rust. Everywhere I looked I have seen no evidence of rust as in CA and WA do not salt roads, and we do get amazing condition survivors like this one.  You can see the factory checkered mat glued down in the trunk. Note how solid and shiny metal under the hood, around the engine & under the trunk! There is a spare rally wheel and trunk accessories and the factory manual is still in the glove-box of this rare condition survivor. 

Receipts show car recently tuned with new wires, plugs, points, cap, gas filter, new synthetic blend oil & Fram filter. You can also see the engine has been well maintained, refreshed with recent water pump, new hoses, belts and a new battery. We just added fluid to the convertible top system, and power motor works great. The new carpet was just installed and seat belts installed since photos were taken. The new boot just came out of the box, so the included trim clips still need to be added. The sporty 225-V6 engines are noted for good MPG, reliability, power & torque. Because these are based upon the V8 block, change overs are easy, along with Edelbrock aluminum intake manifolds, headers, carbs & dual exhaust systems to really make this a muscle type car if desired.

ESTATE SALE:  I am helping the owner clear an estate and move this classic vintage muscle car on to a new home. As such, I do not have full history, but being a classic car collector I can honestly say someone is going to get one heck of a classic muscle car in solid & original condition … a true head turner that is a great investment you can drive & enjoy!!

An investment quality vehicle you can have fun with… for weekend fun or show!

Opel to electrify all model lines by 2024, speeding PSA transition

Thu, Nov 9 2017

What do you see in the Opel logo? That's right, a lightning bolt. As the German automaker dramatically restructures its future plans, electric cars are in the core of Opel's survival. With attempts to stop leaking money, Opel is speeding up its secession from GM technology, launching nine new models by 2020 with the aim to complete transition to PSA hardware by 2024, leaving only two Opel platforms. This is all part of Opel's freshly announced PACE turnaround plan, which is crucial for the company's survival, according to CEO Michael Lohscheller. "PACE will unleash our full potential. This plan is paramount for the company, to protect our employees against headwinds and turn Opel/Vauxhall into a sustainable, profitable, electrified, and global company," says Lohscheller. Competitiveness will be improved by reducing per-car costs by 700 euros, and by cutting marketing costs by 10 percent. Regarding Vauxhall's future, the statement still includes the British brand. When the Opel sale agreement was reached between PSA and GM in March, the plan was to start implementing PSA technology in 2019, completing the transition in eight years, as Automotive News says. The new business plan is noticeably faster. By 2020, with full access to PSA's electric tech, Opel would have a fully electric next-generation Corsa hatchback and a PHEV version of the Grandland X SUV, which is already based on Peugeot's 3008 model. Currently, there are nine Opel platforms and 10 engine families. By 2024 there should be two platforms and four powertrains; the number of diesel engines in use remains to be seen, and all product lines would include an electrified model. There would be an SUV and a midsize vehicle based on PSA's EMP2 architecture, with the former built in Eisenach — formerly known as the town that built East German Wartburg cars before its Opel era — and the latter built in Russelsheim, where Opel HQ is located. The Russelsheim hub will become PSA's global "competence center," where all Opel/Vauxhall vehicles would be engineered — not Paris. Plans include avoiding any factory closures or personnel layoffs. The PACE statement also mentions Opel's entrance to all of 20 new export markets, with a specific mention of China and Brazil, countries which have traditionally seen Opels sold as Chevrolets. Will the United States be included in that export plan?

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.
