  Purchased near Fargo North Dakota from an estate of an elderly gentleman who ironically purchased it from the original owners' estate in 1983. A very clean and garage kept car that runs and drives fantastic. We installed a 4 corner airride suspension to give the car a great lowered stance and a more comfortable ride, this is a procedure that we have perfected in the last 20 years of doing this type of work almost on a daily basis, unlike most systems that are on the road which leak and don't perform properly, ours is trouble free and easy to operate and there is no maintenance needed, if you like, you can just set it and forget it!! The car has an excellent body but before the new paint was applied, had its fair share of stone chips, a few door dings, and a couple of scrapes so at first we thought we would just touch up the couple areas but then deciding the car was far too nice to not to give it a show quality paint job. We straightened all the dings and scrapes, we smoothed all the stone chips and painted the car with base - clear urethane. It came out so nice most people would have left it alone but we again decided as nice as the car is, it deserved a wet sand and polish of the clearcoat. The paint is beautiful and looks a foot deep. When reassembling the car, we purchased new rubber seals for the doors and trunk. We installed new sill plates that hold down the original rubber mat, new chrome outside door handles and seals. We polished up the original dog dish hub caps and installed them on a new set of custom built 18x8" and 20x8.5" Billet wheels available only through our shop. New tires installed at the same time. We color matched the center part of the wheel to give the car a factory but contemporary look. The interior is in very nice shape for its age, the front seat bottom is starting to show some age but being a survivor interior I would leave it as it for now. Everything works on the car, horn, signals, lights, wipers, etc. We installed a new exhaust, it still had the 52 year old factory system on it and we only changed it because we needed more clearance for the rear wheels. The fuel gauge was not functioning when we bought the car so we installed a new fuel sending unit to take care of the faulty gauge but we figured we may as well install a new gas tank since we have it out. A great little car that came well equipped in 1962 if you were a cheap old man, no radio, rubber mat, 6 cylinder with a 3 on the tree. Enjoy it as is or throw in your dual quad 409 or LS3 in it and have even more fun. If you have any questions, feel free to email or call me at PatinaPlantation@Gmail.com 216-789-1647    OK, now here is the part I hate to mention only because eBay has become a breeding ground for jokers and squirrels, This is serious business not a game. this is for adults with integrity, not only me as a seller but you as a buyer. The last several successful listings I've had on eBay were non payers, flat out dreamers that thought bidding on eBay is fun and its no big deal to win an auction and than decide that they should have never done it whether they couldn't afford it or their wife wouldn't let them have it or whatever. There is a reason my feedback is squeaky clean, its because I HAVE INTEGRITY and I do the right thing. If you want to know the reserve, you will have to bid I know 100% that there are people who will not read the description and will call or email me asking how much, I know from experience those people will not buy this car or any car for that matter, they are dreaming for a great car for way under market and will troll ebay and never buy a thing, people who are serious will bid on the car. In my opinion the reserve is very reasonable. Those who bid and retract their bid will get blocked from any further bidding. Sorry for the rant

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
