1986 Fleetwood Brougham.  Car is really straight, the paint is pretty good but has had paint work on portions of the car at different times, so there are some noticeable color matching issues.  This car has had ALL of the bumper fillers replaced on it within the last year, so you won't have to worry about that issue for another 20+ years, or pay hundreds of dollars to replace them because they all crack on these cars eventually. The top has some splits in the vinyl, but there is no bulging anywhere that would indicate rust issues underneath whatsoever.  This car seems to have spent almost all of its life parked inside a garage, there are no signs of sun-fading on the interior and even the window sweeps are crack free.  

The interior is really nice.  The carpet looks almost like new, the seats are in good shape and don't have any rips or cracks. The dash doesn't have a single crack anywhere.  Both front arm rests have minor cracks, but the car will include a replacement arm rest for the passenger side.  The headliner is pinned up into place.  This car has the Delco/Bose stereo and it sounds surprisingly good.

The climate control unit works great, the heat and defrost work good.  The AC cycles, so it's probably low on refrigerant, and it uses R-12, so it would probably be wise to convert to 134-A instead of paying a fortune for R-12 to fix and fill it.

Mechanically this car runs great and gets 23-24mpg on the highway.  The engine doesn't smoke and runs smoothly and pulls cleanly.  The transmission shifts and runs perfectly with no flaring shifts or problems.  The front suspension and steering are really tight, all of the ball joints and steering components are free of slack.  The shocks are noticeably worn, so it "floats" a little, but it tracks and drives really straight.  The tires are around 50%, but are beginning to show some cracking from age.  They are drivable, but showing their age.  I have driven this car on a 400 mile round trip within the last year, so I wouldn't be worried to drive it anywhere.

The odometer reads 4,xxx miles.  My title says "Mileage Exempt" and the prior owner bought the car about 13 years ago, so I doubt there is any carfax information out there, but I haven't looked it up.  If the odometer said this were a 60k mile car it would be easily believable.

Overall this car is a really straight and original car that is reliable to drive.  It would be a great car to restore because most of the expensive stuff is there and in good shape and it doesn't have rust issues.  I am only selling it because I simply have too many projects right now.

Thanks for looking!

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

No, Eminem is not giving away the Cadillac Ciel concept, Facebookers

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Damn it, Facebook people, stop being so gullible. When you see something on social media that requires you to share or like a status or page in exchange for a chance at winning something, it's almost always a hoax. This goes for iPads, or Bill Gates giving away cash or, yes, an Eminem fan page giving away a Cadillac Ciel. Now, normally we'd simply ignore this utter hogwash, but it's getting some traction on Facebook and, annoyingly, is beginning to clog our newsfeed. Ignoring the fact that the Ciel is a pure concept car that likely can't even be registered for regular use, there are more than a few things that should give this nonsense away as a hoax. First, Eminem has only ever gotten in bed with one automaker – Chrysler. It seems unlikely that he'd defect simply to give away a car on Facebook. Secondly, the page that is putting on the giveaway isn't even a verified page – Eminem's real Facebook fan page has 97 million likes, this one has 622,000. Third, a quick look at the caption for the Ciel's photo, shown above, reveals the sort of grammatical mess that no serious contest would allow. Take a look (sic implied throughout): "Only 24 Days Until Christmas, Can you Imagine yourself driving this Car? I'm about to make that happen, Its Official, I Will be giving away this 2014 Cadillac Ciel to one random lucky fan, all you gotta do is follow these three easy steps, Step 1) Share this photo, Step 2) Like my page, Slim Shady Step 3) Like this photo, Winner Will be picked On December 5th 4 Days Away, Good luck to Everyone!!" We reached out to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell just for fun. Apparently, this photo and schtick pops up every few months with virtually the same text, only to vanish at the end of the "giveaway." You're as shocked as we are, right? So, once again folks, just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it's true. If your friends, family and acquaintances are blowing up your Facebook feed and social network channels with this nonsense, be sure to set 'em straight with a link to this story – we're sure the real Slim Shady will appreciate it.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
