I am 72 years old. I did have 5 old cars, now I have 3 and want to get down to 1. I did like to tinker with cars now I would rather play golf. 

Interior is excellent. I have been told the front seats and console are out of a Thunder Bird but don't know that for sure. Speedometer is about 8-10 miles off because of 3:90gears installed last year. New Gauges except fuel gauge. The original fuel gauge is fine. 

Exterior is a 10-15 foot car. Up close has a few bad spots to close to see in pictures. Left front trim needs replaced. I have a like new one that I have not installed. Trim and chrome looks good. I had the rear bumper re-chromed. There is an electric popper for the trunk.  

Engine is a 428 Cobra. There is a list of things I have done to the engine in the last few miles. Transmission - C6 Rear end I have been told is from a pickup truck. It had 2:73 gears I hade them changed to 3:90 gears,

New Carburetor, New Valve Springs, Electronic Distributor, Power steering pump sent off and rebuilt, new starter, new fuel pump, new Griffith aluminum radiator, new battery. 

New heating and cooling unit cost $2,400 last year. I added power brakes, disc in the front, drum in the back. New Mufflers and Tale pipes. New Front tires and new tubes in rear.

car has very wide Mickey Thompson tires in the rear. I have a new set of normal size chrome rims for rear. If you want normal size tires.

Problems: Passenger side door window is cracked

Radio/cassette player work fine as long as you don't turn it off.  If turned off it takes a while for it to turn back on.

Biggest problem now is that to install heating and cooling unit the installer had to remove the fan blade and install an electric fan. I think it needs a more powerful fan because it runs about 210 degrees on a hot day.

Fri, Jan 25 2019

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Green Editor John Beltz Snyder. They address a couple interesting news topics, including an upcoming Ford pickup that's smaller than the Ranger, as well as a future electrified Dodge Challenger. They also opine about the new Honda Urban EV prototype that's scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Then they talk about the cars they've been driving, including the new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, Volvo V60 and Audi A6. Finally, they take a question from Autoblog's recent Reddit AMA to help spend a Redditor's money.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year

Sat, Dec 27 2014

It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change.

But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.
