Lansdale, Pennsylvania, United States

I bought this car 5 years ago off ebay and got screwed. It was supposed to be a daily driver that ran and looked ok. IT WAS FAR FROM IT!!!!! I was left no choice but to fix it, im an autobody tech and the last thing I wanted to do was to work on my car during my time off. So here is a list of what Ive done. Engine and Trans were rebuilt, And I installed the following brand new, Master cylinder and brake booster, Steering box,carburetor,fuel lines on motor, complete engine wire harness from firewall to engine including all the lights and horns etc. calipers, rotors, pads, AC compressor, Power steering pump, motor mounts, belts, Y pipe coming off exhaust manifolds, battery, condensor, heater core, all coolant hoses, all rubber brake lines, Every single component of the front suspension....EVERYTHING! All new rubber for the windows, trunk and doors, 4 brand new tires, while engine was out I painted the engine bay including the engine and front section of frame. Its basically brand new from the winsheild forward. 

I have a used dashboard, rear springs, engine decals, lock cylinders for trunk and driver door. This car runs really good but needs some TLC to be a perfect daily driver. All the hard work is done now it just needs some minor body work and paint to be beautiful again. I have twin boys coming next month and Im assuming I wont have much time to finish this car and plus Im going to need the room for strollers now. I have over $25,000.00 invested in this car NOT including my labor. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Just to answer some of the emails I received I wanted to add this to the page. When I say "20 footer" I mean it looks amazing from 20ft away. There are other things that do not work and may be missing on this vehicle such as trunk lock cylinder but I have one for the buyer in the vehicle so it can be installed. Also the turn signals do not work, needs a turn signal cam. The engine runs pretty good but due to the choke and fast idle cam and possible vacuum hoses not being adjusted correctly can be the cause. Like I said Everything was relpaced new and now its just a matter of adjusting things and getting the vacuum correct. If your expecting a perfectly running car DONT BID!!! Before bidding please email me to go over any specifics that may not be listed. This is a great car to restore, The hard greasy miserable part is done. Dont pass up this oppertunity! I spent $1400.00 alone just on rubber seals, $600.00 for a engine wire harness, $1000.00 for the transmission. I spent $6000.00 on rockauto.com on parts! $1000.00 on tires, $50.00 for a original 1968 fuel filter. If you are unsure of anything please email me before bidding and ill get back to you as soon as I can. I don't want to screw anyone like I got screwed years ago. ASK QUESTIONS!!!!

Having said all of that keep in mind I drive this vehicle on the highway at speeds over 65mph.

I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Driving the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V at the old Elkhart Lake road course

Wed, Jun 24 2015

The placid community around Elkart Lake, WI, looks about as far removed from a glorious motorsport venue as you can imagine. A turn of the century downtown gives way to old-school resorts, beaches, and boat launches around the picturesque lake, with farms framing the rolling hills all around. But it was those very same meandering country lanes that gave birth to one of America's greatest racing circuits, some 65 years ago. Between the first race in 1950 and the opening of the dedicated Road America track in 1956, the roads around Elkhart Lake provided the setting for some great post-war racing. Competing on public streets was ultimately outlawed across the country, but not before drivers risked life and limb in the name of glory in the Wisconsin summer. Cadillac asked us out to the area recently, not to talk racing history, but to look forward at one of the most track capable cars the company has ever offered: the 2016 CTS-V. We got to drive the 640-horsepower beastie for an entire morning of hot laps at Road America, but unfortunately, we're not allowed to tell you about all of that right now. You'll have to wait until the embargo lifts on August 3, at which point we promise a full recounting of our adventure. Having the CTS-V for a full two days though, and in the spirit of the motorsport that imbues the air in Elkhart Lake, we took the Cadillac on a drive around the old 6.5-mile road course. Come for the new Caddy, but stick around to find out what the hell Wacker's Wend is. Cadillac Luxury Performance Videos
