This Landau was built in Canada and has had 2 previous owners. The 1st ordered it new with the only options as follows; power windows, windscreen antenna, split cloth notch back seat. He drove it until 2003 and 63 900 miles. The 2nd owner drove it on occasion until 2012 and 67 268 miles. Car now has 70 800 miles original. I have replaced all brakes, exhaust, front wheel bearings, suspension (including heavy duty coils with 2" lift) and coil over shocks in front with adjustable rear air shocks. Car has brand new rubber all four corners 275/60R15 mounted on vintage 1976 corvette slots. Exterior paint is original never painted never repaired. Car was always garaged. Minor surface rust associated to stone chips and minor rust below rear window trim. Entire car was sprayed with Krown rust inhibitor last fall. Interior is mint and I mean mint with zero flaws. The rear seat was never sat in until my kids. Car drives great with expected oil seeps from 38 year old gaskets. Very dependable and would drive it cross country tomorrow. Original windscreen is cracked. Next on the list was to do were oil seeps. New door pins and bushings on order for 1/4 mile long front doors which I will include with car if I don't get the chance to install. I have original manuals, mud flaps, suspension, wheels, tires, hub caps and steering wheel. Also have original dealer installed cassette player with anti-theft quick release. Spare tire original in trunk and never removed? I have all paper work including transfer from original owner.


Car blows small puff of blue smoke on start up due to original valve seals needing replacement. I also have new valve gaskets to throw in.

I think you would be hard pressed to find another in this strong original unmolested ORIGINAL condition.

Reserve is fair market value based on comparables sold in last 12 months.

Fly into Winnipeg MB and drive it home or will help with loading with shipper of your choice.

Thanks for looking.....

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

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.
