This Coupe de Ville was an unrestored Alberta car, never been apart when I bought it. Beautiful glass, original interior. It's been 100% mechanically restored with new engine, transmission, radiator, complete electrical system, brakes, exhaust, tires, etc. Don't waste your cash on a repainted car that still needs everything mechanical...here is a rust free car that will last a lifetime.

It's had every bit of steel work done, replaced with handmade, perfectly fit panels; several body mounts, inner & outer full rockers, quarter bottoms, trunk drops, floors. It is 100% steel, zero bodywork, what you see is epoxied & painted steel only. Even the insides of the rockers were epoxy painted before assembly. POR15 entire bottom side, seam sealed inside and out. What wasn't replaced is still in the only paintjob it ever had in the 1960s, original color which is Chantilly Maroon w/Alpine White roof.

The motor is brand new rebuilt by Precision Machine in North Vancouver, '57 365, .030 pistons from Egge Machine, 10:1 CR, factory 2x4 Eldorado cam grind, Edelbrock 1406 carb, pertronics elecronic ign, all new internally and externally, alt, starter, battery, carb, all new. Fresh paint on everything. Brand new re-cored radiator by Richardson Rad, all hoses and heater hose new. Bendstens adapter and re-built GM 700R4 OD trans, custom driveshaft, new U-joints. New custom 2" exhaust, shortened Smithys glasspacks, exits through bumper as factory.

All electrical is new, Painless deluxe kit, every bulb holder, wire, all charging system, all of it new, converted to GM 3-wire alternator. All electric windows work great.
Fuel tank got the POR tank treatment inside and out, all new fuel lines & hoses.

Blasted, epoxy & painted original rims, new Coker Firestone Deluxe Champion 8.20x15 WWW tires. Front suspension rebuild including trunnion shafts and kingpin kit, all new.
The rear leafs were disassembled, cleaned, re assembled with poly spring liner, 4" blocks, 1 1/2 coils were cut from each front spring. New sway bar dogbones & bushings. It has a perfect 1/2 drop nose to tail, and not too low.

All new brakes, re-lined shoes, new components throughout, updated to GM 7" booster and GM drum/drum dual circuit master. New lines, flex hoses, wheel cylinders etc. Stops great, drives great, sounds great. Few dings in the side trim, few pits in the chrome. Drivers seat bottom a little shredded, not bad though. New carpet kit not installed, and some extra bits of stainless I've collected will go with it.

I'm forgetting all kinds of stuff, it's been a massive job. Clean papers, passed gov't mechanical inspection, turnkey ready to go. Asking price is only the dollar investment, not including approx 800 hours of labour!!! Email me with any questions, thanks!

GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut Â– which could pressure the stock."
