This is a 2 year old partial restoration of a
rust free very nice California car. The matching numbers 440 motor and 727 transmission were rebuilt less than 6K miles ago. The whole brake system was rebuilt with an upgraded dual reservoir master and individual brake cylinders. The brake booster was sent to a specialist in Oregon and rebuilt too. I live in the hills and drive my little kids around in the car so brakes are the most important thing. The car was in great shape with really good original paint. I debated keeping it original, but it lack luster, so I had it stripped and painted with an
expensive two stage paint and color sanded and polished. It's been professionally detailed a few times since too. The car received a new convertible top and carpet. The convertible top motor and systems were rebuilt and work really well. The car sounds and drives amazingly. The 440 does not even blink racing up hills and on the freeway. This car is so smooth and quiet. It handles like a dream. It does not sway around corners like Cadillacs or Lincolns. The gauges all work, Shifting out of Park still disengages the emergency brake. The clock and the am/fm radio are not working, However the power antenna does work well. Other
than that the car is great. The glass is perfect. The chassis is rust
free and straight. The trunk is rust free and has never been replaced.
There are no problems in the paint of any kind. ZERO scratches, chips,
dings. The tires and rims have about 500 miles on them tops! The more you research these
cars the more you'll see how nice this car is. I bought a trunk liner but it turned out to be for a hardtop only. The trunk and engine compartment are not as pretty as the rest of the car, but would cheap and easy to do. The car is an A/C car, but the system was in the truck when I got it. I live near the ocean and never have a day that I would need it. Therefore all the A/C mechanical parts remain in a tub that is included with the car. Despite that, I think if you found
10 of these cars you wouldn't find one as good with this straight rust free Southern California history and the best color combo offered. The trim around the wheel wells are there and straight. The
car runs great and can be driven with one finger. I've taken friends and family out to Hollywood and around LA a lot in it and its always a great
time. I also have pick my kids up from school and their friends and teachers love it. Anyway, I've had my fun restoring
and driving it, and like guitars and watches, my ADHD kicks in and I get
bored. There are always other cars I want to experience and I thought I
would start selling the car now. I am ready to take a loss, but not
give the car away. This is a recent restoration of a California car. Considering the car was more expensive than a Cadillac Eldorado, Lincoln Continental and even a Rolls Royce in 1966, and it's life in So. California it was surely driven by somebody important back in the day. The car is housed at the Torrance Airport
generally but can be brought home to Palos Verdes Estates for viewing
with one days notice. Call 3102595195 to schedule. I reserve the right
to end this auction at any time, as I have friends that are interested
in buying or trading. Who ever gets this car will be very happy and have something way cooler and better luxurious driving than anything else of the period. Thanks for looking and bidding.

NHTSA looking into non-Takata airbag shrapnel case
Tue, Jul 14 2015The global airbag inflator recall from Takata has been one of the biggest topics in auto safety for months. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the components from Arc Automotive to investigate whether two reported ruptures and two injuries signal a wider problem. So far, only the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country and 2004 Kia Optima are believed to be affected. If a safety campaign is deemed necessary, it could cover an estimated 420,000 of the minivans and 70,000 of the Korean sedans. NHTSA first noticed these ruptures in December 2014. The agency received a complaint of a 2009 case in Ohio about the bursting of the driver's side inflator in a 2002 Town & Country. According to the report, the incident broke the woman's jaw and sent shrapnel into her chest. The government investigated the case, and this was found to be the only known occurrence in these vehicles. The analysis indicated the part's gases were possibly blocked somehow and caused the component to explode. FCA US spokesperson Eric Mayne told Autoblog that the company is "cooperating fully" with NHTSA. "Also, we no longer use that inflator," he said. A second incident came to NHTSA's attention in June 2015 with the driver's side rupture in a 2004 Optima in New Mexico. The agency lists fewer details about the case, and a root cause isn't known. This is also the only currently known example in a Kia vehicle. According to a statement from Kia to Autoblog, "We are taking this matter very seriously and support NHTSA's action and will continue working cooperatively with the agency and suppliers throughout the process." Arc's components are sealed within a steel housing that's meant to protect them from "external atmospheric conditions," according to NHTSA. Multiple suppliers also use them. In the Chrysler, the airbag module came from Key Safety Systems and from Delphi in the Kia. In a statement to Autoblog the company said, "We have received NHTSA's notification and are cooperating fully with its Preliminary Evaluation." At this time, NHTSA admits that it doesn't know for certain whether these two cases are linked. The agency is conducting this preliminary evaluation to learn more.
Apple picks up former FCA quality boss Doug Betts
Wed, Jul 22 2015Apple made a significant personnel move that further signals its entry into the automotive world, hiring former Fiat Chrysler executive Doug Betts for an unspecified role. The information was obtained by The Wall Street Journal, which cites Betts' LinkedIn page. His career included stints at Toyota and Nissan before joining Chrysler Group (now FCA US LLC) in 2007, although his time there didn't end well. He left FCA, where he served as the automaker's head of quality, after the company's dismal showing in Consumer Reports' 2014 Annual Auto Reliability Survey. According to Betts' LinkedIn profile, which has since been pulled down, his job title reads "Operations – Apple Inc" in the San Francisco Bay area. Apple, meanwhile, was unwilling to divulge anything to the WSJ, although there's plenty to infer based on the hire. Betts wasn't the only big auto-related hire. According to the WSJ, Cupertino also lured an unnamed but "leading" autonomous vehicle researcher from Europe, who will be part of a team being setup to study driverless systems. Related Video:
