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.

Stellantis wants to trim 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs, UAW says
Wed, Apr 26 2023WASHINGTON — Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV wants to cut approximately 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs and is offering voluntary exit packages, according to a United Auto Workers union letter made public Tuesday. The automaker is looking to reduce its hourly workforce offering incentive packages that include $50,000 payments for workers hired before 2007, UAW Local 1264 said in a letter dated Monday posted on its Facebook page. Stellantis spokeswoman Jodi Tinson declined to comment. A person briefed on the matter said the figure might be lower than the figure cited in the UAW letter. In late February, Stellantis indefinitely halted operations at an assembly plant in Illinois, citing rising costs of electric vehicle production. The action impacted about 1,350 workers at the Belvidere, Illinois, plant that built the Jeep Cherokee SUV and resulted in indefinite layoffs. The automaker has warned it may not resume operations as it considers other options. The UAW letter said openings created by workers leaving would be filled by workers on indefinite layoff. Stellantis said in February that about 40,000 U.S. hourly workers were eligible for profit sharing. Last week, UAW President Shawn Fain said Stellantis' decision to idle the Illinois plant was "a flat-out violation" of the union's contract with the UAW and is unacceptable. The UAW will enter talks with the Detroit Three before labor contracts expire in mid-September. Earlier this month, General Motors said about 5,000 salaried workers accepted buyouts to leave the automaker. GM CEO Mary Barra said February job cuts of a few hundred jobs and the 5,000 buyouts "provided approximately $1 billion towards" a $2 billion cost cutting target. Ford Motor Co recently announced significant job cuts in Spain, Germany and other parts of Europe and in August said it would cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India.
