 I have a 1966 Buick Electra rare 2 door hardtop ,,most all of these cars were either 4 doors or convertibles ,I started the disassembly of the car and then a man walked up and bought my shop,,, just one of those days he had cash and I wont turn that down soooo here it is for sale
Solid car I took all the seats, carpet ( threw away),door panels(have), glass out of the car ,,I have All the chrome pieces in the trunk that I took off and wrapped up they each are marked on the back where they go on the car so there is no guessing
grill in good shape
tailights good
most all the chrome is there and in good shape just a few pieces missing
rear bumper gone I got one with the car when i bought it but I have since found out it doesnt fit if you want it take it
back window broken when I got it but I have one located and will give info where it is I just hadnt bought it yet
drivers window and windshield need replaced ( found on here on ebay no problem)
the old guy I bought the car from said he parked the car because the harmonic balancer "came apart" and thats the only reason he parked it but upon further investigation after purchase the balancer broke and also broke the timing chain cover housing (again found here on ebay about $150 for both parts )
the motor is a 445 wildcat that will need the carb rebuilt before trying to start but the motor turns freely by hand cranking no problem
has a few dents on one side where he backed his tractor into it
this was a complete car when I purchased it the only reason he sold it to me after 3 years of me asking is because his grandkids broke the drivers window and back window out in the shed it was sitting in so he finally gave in to sell it to me he was the original owner but I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE bill of sale only but its no problem to get a title in mississippi on a car this old
it was inside when I purchased it and has always been inside since I have had it so no rain on this one
I have $2,400 in it as it sets but I am realistic also 

buyer must either pick up or arrange shipping at their cost I will help as much as possible

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
