  1. Don't really know what your point is here. If it's to impress with your alleged knowledge of modern car manufacturers, I see no point. The guy is asking about an old Camaro or Chevelle. I don't think he gives a crap about the U.S. content of modern, look alike no style cars whether from Japan, Germany or any other foreign country. He wants American Muscle as in 60's & early 70's cars. I'll STILL & ALWAYS WILL take the ZL1.
  2. May be true, but I'd rather be driving that ZL1 than the rice burner.

First time offered.HEMMINGS DECLARED IT TO BE IN AN ARTICLE THEY DID THE RAREST OF RARE CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER HAS NO RECORD OF PRODUCTION THIS MODEL C6 IS KNOWN AS THE PHANTOM CAR.no low ballers or tire kickers will be blocked I think this guy is mistaken. I'm pretty sure this is an Airstream, not a C6. I also think slightly overpriced, nice lines on it, looks surprisingly neglected.
  4. If the aircleaner is any indication, this is a 425hp car. Same aircleaner as the Z16 Chevelles. The 325 hp would have had a single snorkle.
  5. Nice looking in the photos. Don't let the valve covers fool you. There were no 425hp 409's in '65. It's either a transplant or a 340hp with 425hp decals. That air cleaner is also for the 425hp, I think.
  6. I get a kick out of sellers who put 1 or 2 photos in their ad, a 20 word description, and expect the car to sell. Kinda like the dealers that put a phone number in the ad instead of price - “call for price.” Both must figure their sales expertise is so great that if they can just talk with 1 interested party, they can sell it. He says he has a collection. I wonder what’s behind door number 2.
  7. You can not, MUST not call this a Wil-lis. You MUST call it a Willeez. If not, you will be beaten severely about the head and shoulders with a 4 speed shifter handle. BTW, I'd give both of them & my non-shifting arm for this car.
  8. Judging by what people want for a car they don't have a clue about, I'll bet Matt's off by $15-20K in his estimate. However, Ed asked for a realistic price & Matt's was probably correct.

  10. Peter, Didn't see where we could give you a "like" for that post. So here's a big - for it, & for a good job.
  11. What do you expect for $19500? I bet you'd get a lot of looks & a lot of what is its.

  13. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/d/canoga-park-1937-cadillac-fleetwood/7303653765.html 1937 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Touring Sedan Movie Star! All Orig! - $35,000 (Canoga Park) image 1 of 24 © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap 1937 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan condition: excellent cylinders: 8 cylinders drive: rwd fuel: gas odometer: 83172 paint color: black size: full-size title status: clean transmission: manual type: sedan Here we have a magnificent survivor of the period between Art Deco and Streamline; a period from which some of the most magnificent, imposing automobiles in history have emerged. This Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Touring Sedan was a very expensive limited model between the smaller Series 60 and 70, and the Limousine. Riding on a 138-inch wheelbase and powered by a smooth, torquey 321-cubic inch flathead V8 and backed with a three-speed manual gearbox, it was a favorite choice of tycoons, moguls and mobsters alike. That said, it was chosen by studio transportation directors for many period films, three of which are especially iconic. It appeared as a background car in The Godfather and The Sting, and as one of the hero cars in Chinatown. It was driven by Hollis Mulwray and Jack Nicholson's character J.J. "Jake" Gittes places a pocket watch beneath the left rear tire of this car to determine when Mulwray left that night. You all remember that scene. The car is seen being driven in several scenes in the movie. This example was first sold at Don Lee Cadillac in Los Angeles, Calif., on February 4, 1937, as was stenciled on the firewall. Don Lee Cadillac was the largest Cadillac dealership on the West Coast, and the famed "Hollywood" sign is located atop Mount Lee, named after Don Lee, a civic giant of the day. Lee was friends with Harley Earl, the famed General Motors design chief who penned this particular model amongst many other eventual classics. The car lived its entire life in sunny Southern California, aside from—in 1975—when its owner of 47 years drove it with his wife across country to New Jersey, had it loaded onto a luxury ocean liner and cruised to Germany, where it was offloaded and they toured in the Cadillac all summer, even scaling the Swiss Alps! Imagine the heads turned along European roads when this mammoth American icon motored by! At the conclusion of their tour, they returned to German where the car was loaded onboard and they sailed back to New Jersey and then drove back home to Los Angeles. It performed flawlessly. The black paintwork is all original aside from the front fenders, and there are areas where the paint is actually worn thin enough to see the original primer showing through. Seen clearly in video. This mark of unmistakable originally is highly prized by collectors and automotive historians (and obviously, movie studios as well). Of course there is a patina of random chips and scratches as expected, but no dings or dents of any meaningful size. It is as rust-free as you'd expected a lifelong California car, and the only noticeable areas of rust are a couple places on the floorboards where the original rubber covering chipped off and water accumulated there. The chrome plating is also original, as are all the trim and fittings. The longtime owner had all the window glass replaced as the originals were delaminating, and while replacing the glass, all the rubber seals were replaced as well. Inside, he refinished the gorgeous varnished wooden window surrounds. The original mohair upholstery is still in place, with just a small tear on the driver's side of both the front and back bench seats. There is also some wear to the piping on the driver's door panel and the armrest. The mohair headliner is fully intact and in good condition. The owner was somewhat of a craftsman and designed and built the custom bar in the back of the front bench seat for the enjoyment of his passengers. The bar is mirrored, has automatic lighting when opened and a full compliment of French crystal barware is included, as shown. One of a kind. There is also another locking compartment beneath the bar, presumably for your valuables...or your Tommy gun. The car is mechanically excellent. The flathead V8 was fully rebuilt in 2002, using a replacement block, new bearings, pistons, rings and timing components. Stainless steel valves with hardened seats were used to run properly on modern lead-free fuels. A new radiator was installed and an auxiliary coolant overflow tank was fitted. Two new Optima 6-volt batteries were fitted in 2018. The original hydraulic drum brakes and suspension have been serviced as needed over the years as the car was in fairly regular use for tours, club events, etc., and the longterm owner put roughly 40,000 miles on the car. Sixteen-inch Lester whitewall tires were fitted in 2009 and show no dry cracking and have deep tread. This historic Cadillac starts easily, runs as smooth as a pocket watch (other than the one it backed over in Chinatown) and drives beautifully. The ride is smooth, quiet, the steering is quite good, the brakes adequate for normal use (even in the Swiss Alps!). All the original gauges function properly, except for the clock. An auxiliary water temperature gauge and Blaupunkt AM/FM/Cassette player have been added beneath the dash. Extensive service records and the original factory jack are included. It comes with a clear California title, and is currently located in the Los Angeles area. This magnificent survivor is ready for its next cross-country road trip! Or its next closeup! $35,000 firm. Here are three YouTube videos of the car you'll enjoy!

  15. Those dryer sheets don't work. The mice make nests out of them.
  16. I'll go out on a limb here and say yes, being the wsw is in the same line as the tires.
