62OF85conv

Not many people realize just how easy it is to get an old clock working.
Just a little spritz of cleaning and lubing and polish the points a bit
and 99% of clocks can be back in operation again.

Like you I had been looking for something else. Was looking for another 62 Pontiac
Lemans conv like I had back in 62-71 LOL

No luck for months and then saw this F85 by accident. Part of an estate settlement
in Ohio. 3 days and they had only bid it up to $1126.23 Disgraceful!!!!
Since the seller stated in the ad that as a dealer he could…[Read more]

Automotive Accents finished the upholstery on Dec 13 and I took the pictures I have posted on photobucket. You can compare with the original interior as shown on page 1.

I finally had to bring it home with one seat missing because the upholstery
shop needed their floor space…[Read more]

A follow up to my original post regarding problems with SMS product.
(to recap) I had ordered two different colors of vinyl for the bucket seats L-1416
(light gold) 6 yards and L-1418 (dark gold/brown) 2 yards.

Got a call from my upholsterer this AM. Needed to see me about the problems.

The L-1416 material turned out to be -junk-…[Read more]

After they took almost a month to send samples and then the order, I missed the first appointment with the upholsterer; had to wait for a second window
at his establishment and he only found the problem when he started in on the
project today. I dont have time to wait for them to decide what they would
do; then send the material back and…[Read more]

Thats a lot of data to digest but well worth having. Thanks Bruce.

I guess the guy who ordered up my Cutlass conv in Pittsburg figured there were enuf mountains in Pa to warrant a 3.36 – wait I think your text did say a 3.36 was standard for a 3167 model.

I do wish I had a bit more maintainence history on my car tho. I guess a…[Read more]
