As always, I will consider any reasonable offer to end early Since turning 70, my family has been encouraging me to sell most of my personal cars, so I am motivated by them to sell Back in the 60's, amongst the 409Chev, the '69GTO, and several other Muscle Cars I was fortunate to own, was a 64 Wildcat 445 2dr Cpe that not only was a real runner, but was a car with a superb ride as well. Several years ago, I spotted this Riviera Gran Sport for sale by Jerry Hammer at GM Obsolete in Phoenix, and I had to own it when I saw that it had the ultra-rare Factory MZ Code SUPER WILDCAT engine, one of only 179 of these engines ever built by Buick. Buick only built 179 of these engines , as a special advertising program , and if you don't know about them, you can easily follow these links http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2006/07/01/hmn_buyers_guide1.html http://rivowners.org/features/Ev_Stats/66-69/index.html The car was a beautiful West Coast survivor that had also been TLC'd and primped by Jerry , who is well known in the Riviera World. A couple of pictures of it when I acquired it from him are shown. After unloading it , the car was driven to cruz's and shows, then sent to the CarNut Museum , Birmingham, where it stayed on display for a year or so. Upon it's return, I decided to upgrade even further the condition of the car, and so had the White Pearl repaint removed, and returned the car to the correct Buick Artic White. No cheap paint job, the car was primered with special DuPont white primer, and finished with the best DuPont base/clear, with the multiple coats of clear blocked between coats. Hood removed, and totally refinished underneath. New hood insulation pads installed. The engine compartment was pretty nice when we got it, but we redid all the black surfaces with a lot of hand sanding and the correct Eastwood Underhood black matte, The Windshield had a couple of small chips, so I had it removed, and replaced after the paint job The front and rear bumpers were decent, but we sent them to Mike in California and had them re-chromed. When we reinstalled them, all the Silver Argent trim was carefully redone with special base/clear, including the bumper filler pans, top and underneath, and the headlight trim rings. The interior was in nice condition, except the carpet kick panel on the drivers door had some wear, so we had the upholstery shop professionally replace that piece. Doorjambs, etc were re-painted , of course, and new rubber door seals , as well as the trunk seal The top cowl panel was removed, and refinished underneath, as well as the inside of the cowl area and firewall, with special black matte from Eastwood As nice as the car is, like all 'survivors, it is not flawless. The horn ring is missing from the steering wheel..I never thought to look for one. Also I have not replaced the cardboard trunk side panels ( they are still available). The chrome on the original wheels has a few thin spots, but looks good overall, and the rare Riviera center caps are in nice condition. The rest of the chrome and stainless is in nice condition except the two small pieces in the rear are a bit pitted ( not so noticeable) , and could be redone in the Winter. The cardboard piece near the inside of the rear window is a bit out of place, but hardly noticeable.. Buick used premium upholstery materials, and the upholstery is in nice condition, with just a small amount of wear on the passenger seat edge-piping. Besides doing a great job detailing the motor, etc, Jerry did a fine job on the undercarriage, including all new free-flow exhaust. We didn't do any underside refinishing, except the bumper brackets, when we re-installed the bumpers . I have obviously tried to be a detailed as possible in describing the car, but please ask questions, as I cannot anticipate, or remember everything. For the serious buyer, I will supply any pictures desired.... of the pictures I have posted, some are as the car arrived from Phoenix, and heading for the CarNut Museum ... as well as the later pictures back in Artic White ( the wipers were removed for buffing ) I love the car...but at 71years old ...they say it's time for me to let it go This car is of investment quality Terms: $500 deposit by PayPal with 24 hours, and the balance by cash in person, or bank, within 5 days.

This is despite widespread speculation that FCA's desire to merge was motivated by its allegedly dire situation. As one unnamed GM exec who spoke to Automotive News earlier this year put it, "Why should [GM] bail out FCA?" "We are not choking. We are in relatively decent shape," Marchionne told journalists attending an FCA shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, AN reports. "We have been publicly rebuffed, we have been rejected and you cannot force these things. I don't want to. At the moment, we have no intention to do anything hostile." Instead of focusing on merging with GM, or any other partners for that matter, FCA will refocus on implementing its ambitious five-year investment plan, which would see it dump $52 billion into its various brands, with a particular focus on Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Jeep. So far the attempt has largely been unsuccessful, especially as it relates to the Italian brands. Earlier this week, additional reports emerged that claimed Alfa was pushing back the Giulia and an unnamed CUV while reassigning resources to updated versions of the Giulietta and MiTo hatchbacks. This is not the first time we've heard about trouble for the Giulia, of course. For Masearti, though, it was the first we'd heard of delays for Alfieri sports car, which allegedly won't appear in 2016, as promised. We can expect a proper breakdown of FCA's adjusted plans when Marchionne and Company reveal an updated product slate next month.

Chief among them is a Neiman Marcus edition car. Usually from a luxury or exotic manufacturer, the Neiman Marcus models are a limited edition and generally sell out very quickly. Past participants have included the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, McLaren MP4-12C Spider, Ferrari FF and, the most plebian car in recent memory, the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. For this year's catalog, the Maserati Ghibli is up for purchase. On this week's podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman are in a huddle room (again), because the studio was already taken (again). We talk about the all-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger GT (again), as well as the Jeep Wrangler, Maserati Levante, Miata RF (again), and then David waxes poetic on mediocre rental cars (or similar). The episode wraps up with the traditional doling out of Spend My Money buying advice, with some input from an S2000 owner on advice discussed last time. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?)

100th Anniversary Maserati Ghibli stars in the 2014 Neiman Marcus catalog
Thu, 09 Oct 2014
Not only will it make a great Christmas gift for the ultra wealthy, but this $95,000 Maser also pays tribute to the Italian automaker's 100th anniversary. Based on the top-of-the-line S Q4 model, this Ghibli adds a few unique features, including bespoke 20-inch wheels with centennial center caps and a black border for the grille.
The cabin features premium leather in Cuoiu, which is basically tan. Black contrast stitching can be found throughout the cabin and on the Tridents stitched into the headrests, while bespoke piano black trim rounds out the interior. Finally, the center console bears a badge denoting the Ghibli's unique edition number.From Maseratis to rental cars | Autoblog Podcast #511
