 I've had this car about 6 years and I'd like to move on to another project. The color combination is code correct Lemans Blue (976) with Bright Blue (411) interior. The car was optioned with both tops and includes the hard top, which has been recovered with new vinyl 3 or 4 years ago (looks new still because I hardly ever use the hard top and the car never sits outside very long).  The car was built 14July69.

The paint was done about a year ago using the correct mix for the color. I freshened up the interior over the time I've owned the car and did a big overhaul on it recently including new carpet, seat vinyl, seat foam, door sill covers, etc. The top was done at the same time as the paint, along with many new badges, chrome, etc where needed.  There is new weatherstripping throughout the entire car except the hardtop.  The glass is original as far as I know and in good shape with some minor scratching on the door glass.

The car is originally a 427cui 390hp big block, but a 350 small block was installed in the mid-70s. Most of the original big block parts (distributor, radiator overflow, fan shroud, rear sway bar, heavy duty rear end, etc) are still present. It also originally had the highly desirable side pipe exhaust.  The suspension has been rebuilt using Vette Brakes components.  Most of the brake system is new or nearly new including the master cylinder, soft lines, pads, rotors and stainless sleeved calipers.  The tires have a lot of tread life left and were installed on the car just after I bought it.  They have approximately 3500 miles on them.  All gauges, including the clock work as do the headlights, wiper door and wipers.  There are so many new parts on this car that there's no way I could list everything.

The car has a 4 speed, close ratio M21 Muncie transmission. The wheel covers are the optional P02 Deluxe Wheel Covers, but I also have an extra complete set of nice, original (metal...not plastic like many reproduction) base rally wheel trim rings and centers that can be swapped out if the buyer prefers the look of the base rally wheels.

This car runs and drives great. The engine runs very strong and has been very reliable. 

The only big project left to do on this car is swap in a big block.  Aside from that, the mufflers could use replacing (I never did because I intended to put in a big block and the exhaust system is different).  The heater works well from the defrost vents but the vacuum line to the heater controls is not hooked up.  I have never run the car in cold enough weather to use the heater.  The parking brake, door locks, and door glass could be adjusted a bit better.  Other than that, I do not believe there is anything not working properly on the car.


Now for the fine print.  A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the winning.  The balance of the winning bid is due within 7 days and will only be accepted in the form of a certified check (or bank check if financing).  Payment must be in United States dollars.  Once payment has cleared, it will take approximately 1 to 2 weeks to receive the title (according to the bank).  Once payment has cleared, the car can be picked up or shipped with a bill of sale and the title can follow when received, or the buyer may choose to wait until the title comes back from the bank.  Buyer handles pickup or shipping.  I can recommend a very good enclosed car transport company that I've personally used several times.

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers

Thu, Apr 2 2015

What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt

Fri, Oct 31 2014

The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
