Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1961 Fleetwood at NO RESERVE. As you can see by the low low miles, this car has been driven very little. As it was told to me it was purchased new in Michigan where it was kept in a heated garage every winter for te first few years of its life until the owners relocated to sunny Florida to retire. That is where the car is and has been ever since. There are very few negatives to speak of about the car. It has some normal wear showing on the driver seat that I just couldnt make myself repair for the sake of retaining its originality. There is a piece of trim that needs a clip on the left rear fender (trim is fine). There is also a small ding in the hood that happened while I had the car that can be repaired very easily and inexpensively. Rear seal has a slight drip (common in old cars). But nothing worth addressing. I had planned on doing a complete repaint and customization of the car, but as I said, I don't think this is the right car for that. I plan to find a more 'seasoned' car to customize and let this one carry on in it's existing form to someone who will appreciate its originality. Details- The car smells like a 1961 Caddy inside. Never any smokers. Ashtrays are clean with no indication of ever beeing used. The car is beautiful. The chrome work shines. The doors have no sag or slop. The radio works. The original power antenna goes up and down. Power windows, vent wings and seats work. Car starts and runs beautifully. Steers great. No wander or slop. Motor is quiet. No smoke. No hesitation on accelleration. Idles nice. Radial tires are great. Plenty of rubber. No rot. The original muffler formed a rust hole last month on the way back from Daytona. I replaced the entire exhaust from the manifold to the tailpipe. Don't think anyone has ever sat in the back seat. What a pleasure to drive. This car is like a time capsule. These cars are the reason for the term 'Rides like a Cadillac'. My wifes 2013 doesn't ride this nice. If there is anything I have forgotten to cover, please send me a message and I will gladly respond. If you are in N. Florida and would like to inspect before you bid or purchase, please contact me to set up a date and time that's good for you. I can help deliver the car within a couple hundred miles for a fee that can be worked out before the sale. I obviously can't warranty the car since it's not new, but I am confident it will leave here and take you anywhere you feel like going. Bid with confidence. Ask questions before bidding. I will answer them. $500 deposit due at end of auction. Balance due on or before pickup date. Cash is best. All other forms of payment must clear my bank and be liquid before car leaves my garage. Good luck bidding!

Also forgot to mention that the original spare with jack and original wooden wheel chock is included. All in great condition. Note the cardboard instructions on the inside of trunk lid is still in perfect shape. Never got wet or damaged in all these years.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year

Mon, Nov 9 2015

With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.

GM's Mark Reuss explains why a performance Cadillac ELR-V won't happen

Tue, Mar 18 2014

Hey, I've got enough things to worry about. That's one interpretation of General Motors executive vice president Mark Reuss' response to a question posed by Driving the Nation about the recently-introduced Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid. Reuss said GM will "definitely expand the tuning envelope" for the ELR. The question was whether GM would consider adding magnetic ride control to the quite-powerful-for-a-plug-in Caddy, creating an "ELR-V" model in the process. Reuss' non-answer: "Good question, can't really answer that," but then elaborated that magnetic ride control uses up "a lot" of power otherwise spoken for in terms of providing the longest electric-only range possible. Interestingly, he did add that GM will "definitely expand the tuning envelope" for the ELR, as you can see in the video below. With the model retailing for north of $75,000, fewer than 60 percent of US Cadillac dealers were carrying the ELR as of last month and just 99 ELRs were sold during the first two months of the year. In an effort to sell more vehicles, GM said in January that it would offer the ELR for a 39-month lease for $699 a month for qualified lessees and with a $5,999 down-payment required. Autoblog's First Drive impressions of the ELR can be found here.
