All Gucci emblems in-tact but hood ornament is missing. Original hubcaps with double G emblem included and in good condition. Carriage roof fabric is faded, but all other interior Gucci fabrics in very good condition. All 4 floor mats included, but have cracking and staining. Seat leather is dried and cracking and seams are splitting in some places, mainly driver's seat. Hood has some rust damage, but rust on the rest of the vehicle is limited and rust on undercarriage was sanded and sealed during engine and transmission refurbishing. Almost all mechanical parts have been replaced and fuel injection was replaced with Edelbrock carb and intake manifold. Extensive records of all parts replaced, with receipts, are included. Tires are new with 200-300 miles on them. For more details about what work has been done so far, please send a message. Milage assumed to be original, as when I had the car shipped from Florida it had 1982 registration sticker on windshield. 

I purchased this vehicle from a seller in Florida several years ago. I began restoring it, but will not be able to complete the process. Almost everything except the rear differential has been replaced or refurbished, mechanically. Fuel tank was also cleaned and resealed, and the fuel injection system was removed and replaced with a carb setup. Custom true dual exhaust was also fitted onto the car, including headers. The vehicle sat outside for over 25 years in Florida, so it needs some TLC. Paint and body work are needed, and the rear bumper filler is missing. The leather interior and dash also need to be refurbished, but all of the special Gucci fabrics are in excellent shape. This is a unique car (one of 200) that would make a fun Sunday driver or show car with some work. Buyer will need to make shipping arrangements and no warranty is offered, other than what may be associated with parts I have records for.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

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.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
