Welcome to CarsandDogs1970 and this particular vehicle we refer to as "The Gold 500."  It is a very attractive model in these colors and may just stick around for next summer if you guys don't get to it first.  It was acquired at an estate sale from a tiny wood cabin in the middle of a ritzy area.  The small wood cabin was surrounded my million dollar homes. It was built by the man's grandparents in 1937.  These folks sure new how to hold on to their stuff for a long time.  This car was revived with a new gas tank only.  It now runs very smoothly and shifts through the gears like a dream.  It is still needing a tune up and all the things you would expect after a vehicle has been stored for over 2 decades.  The body on this one is very nice.  You can feel sharp driving around right now.  I certainly did on a sunny Sunday morning snapping these pics for you.  Please feel free to ask any questions. This car starts, stops and steers just fine, but will need your fine tuning to go to the next level.  We will load this vehicle for you on a truck, boat or plane and send it your way ASAP. It's a great car with great bones.  Happy bidding.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
