North Smithfield, Rhode Island, United States
1966 Newport convertible - runs great - no taps or ticks even when cold - drive it anywhere - just drove it 200 miles after it was sitting for the winter - top is excellent - there are no pictures with the top down as it is too cold and I don't want to damage it. it's power and works great. dual exhaust - ac car / not hooked up - car gives a great smooth ride body is in nice shape - no rot - missing a letter on the hood - missing a piece of chrome on passenger fender - can't find them right now - car can sit out in the pouring rain as it has absolutely no leaks - we just had real bad rain right before I took the pictures the underneath has been oiled every year - it is in great shape - trunk is great - seats and dash are fine - door panels need to be redone - it's mileage is unknown as the odometer hasn't worked in a while - I have a replacement to go with the car - see the picture of it (actually didn't include the picture as only 24 pictures allowed - but it will be sold with the car) this has been the same owner since 1983 - close to 4k was spent rebuilding the motor and tranny - slips are included - there are pictures of them - also slips of all oil changes and everything else done since 1983 all registrations from 1983 to current - car has been in Georgia, New Hampshire, and Connecticut from the same owner. ct is a non title state so you will get current registration - then your state will issue you a title. you will get bill of sale and current registration. you can fly in and drive the car anywhere - it just is a great driver = no issues at all for driving it to California / or wherever. odometer doesn't work / but speedometer does / ac doesn't work - not hooked up / radio seems to have stopped - I will check it - all lights work and the charging and coolant systems work fine. the oil is so clean it's hard to see on the dipstick. the cold light works when you start the car - and shuts off in a minute or two when the car warms up. tires are great - exhaust is great. bumpers will need to be rechromed - feel free to come check the car out - checks are fine - car will stay until it clears. shipping the car is fine also. if you want any other pictures just email me and ask for them - I will do a you tube with it running when I grab my kids with their fancy phones to do it. |

NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector
Thu, 25 Sep 2014If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.
2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
Volkswagen Routan dead one last time
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Volkswagen halted production of the Routan minivan in late 2012 due to low sales volume, but there were reports swirling around that it would live on and continue production alongside the closely related Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan. But now VW says that it will indeed stop Routan production for good, The Detroit Bureau reports.
As of our report in March, VW hadn't built a single Routan in 2013, and we can't imagine things have gotten much better for the minivan since then. The Detroit Bureau reports that VW produced some 2014 Routans, but they aren't for sale to the public - they are fleet-only affairs.
VW originally intended to sell between 45,000 and 50,000 Routans per year, but since it was introduced for the 2009 model year, annual sales of the minivan have averaged only 11,500 units. VW has sold 57,683 Routans total.
