I am the third owner of the car. It was purchased new in California in late 1968. Within a year the original owner installed the American Racing wheels that are still on the car and have been for 45 years. He had the car for most of its life. The next owner rarely drove the car but made good investments into its upkeep including new paint and some interior work.

I have owned the car for a couple of years. All of the projects are now complete. The car is ready for the next owner to enjoy. Here is a breakdown of work completed and the condition of the car.

The car is rust free. The only issue was the front passenger floor. A small hole in the firewall allowed water to accumulate under the carpet. That was repaired. There is no bondo on the car. The paint is very good but not show quality. A professional shop repainted the threshold areas, inside of the doors, underside of hood and trunk. Dash was also repainted. Rear bumper was rechromed. Passenger side mirror installed.

Dynamat sound deadening was installed on floor, in trunk and inside doors. New carpet installed. New speakers and wire installed. The original AM/FM radio works great. A previous owner installed speakers in the door panels. While I replaced them, I never would have cut the panel for speakers. I acquired another set of matching door panels which you can swap out if you choose. New trunk mat, tire cover, board inserts and tool bag in the trunk along with original jack.

The air conditioning system was completely replumbed and converted to modern materials. It works perfectly. Front end is new, oil pan is too. Front disk brakes and rear drums are new. Battery, plugs, ignition wires, cap etc all recently replaced. A new Holly carb was installed and performance has never been better. The original carb comes with the car. The car starts immediately and runs beautifully. It needs nothing.

I welcome your questions.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
