Sadly, I have lost steam with finishing my Hot Rod Power Tour build. I didn't get it finished in time for this last years cruise and have since devoted my time and energy to finishing my 67 C10. Just don't have time for both and want someone else to enjoy this car. This is a clean looking unique car with some big money spent on big name suspension upgrades along with some other goodies to make this a cross country cruiser. The next owner will have the pleasure of setting up the suspension to their liking and cruise on to your favorite local hang out. Here are the details:

Goods:
Car really is in great, original shape. I'd rate the interior near perfect, all original. Clean up top and underneath. Runs/drives/stops. Paint is in good-great shape. Car starts right up, idles great, stays cool (even in TX). No smoke during start up.
Bads:
Has some vinyl top rust. Can feel it around the rear window. Has a few spots that have extended out of the perimeter of the vinyl top in the rear (see the walk around video). Vinyl top is still in great shape though. Needs a little tuning and suspension needs to be tweaked to really be a reliable cruiser....should be minimal work. Tires have great tread left but old. Has what I would consider typical "old car leaks" from the engine and trans (nothing major).
Title in hand. Have lots of original parts that will go with it. Some suspension parts, fender skirts, etc.

Great car with lots of sleeper potential. Although this car has been extremely reliable for me, I would highly advise against a long road trip with this. It's an old car with a lot of new parts. I feel it does require a little time with the new owner to set the suspension up to their liking.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions....I'll be happy to answer them as timely as possible.
I will cancel suspicious bidding. If you have little to no feedback or just joined ebay, I will need email confirmation from you prior to bidding or you bid will be cancelled. Item is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction prior to ending. I will require a $500 immediate deposit and full payment within 1 week of the auction ending. I will do what I can (within reason) to work with shipping the car.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
