As mentioned, this is THE Viva Las Vegas Car and we are selling it to make way for a new one. I have done my best to list as much as possible but please feel free to contact us with any further questions. Let me start by saying there is very little of this car that is 1932. I believe there is one part of the chassis that enables it to be registered as 1932. Please note that the license plates are 1932 plates and are registered to the car.
Lets start with the body. This is a fibreglass body with a steel hood. The fenders are also fibreglass. It is all painted gloss black. Please note that there are slight scuff marks on the body work but no damage. It has been on display at various events and has been photographed with thousands of people. The VIVA LAS VEGAS logo is painted on the doors. It is not a sticker or anything. The logo will still be on the car when you buy it. The interior has been reupholstered as you can see in the photos. It has a vintage style dash and all of the gauges are modern vintage looking gauges that all work. Although I would not trust the gas gauge too much. The steering wheel and column are a modern vintage look from Limeworks. Hidden under the dash and out of view are speakers for the sound system and a cigarette lighter socket. The sound system is a CD/radio that is in the trunk. It has a remote control to operate it and also has an iPhone hook up by the seat. The car has seat belts for 3. These can be tucked away out of sight for display.
The chassis is a reproduction chassis. It has a Mustang front end with disc brakes at the front. The rear end has drum brakes. Coil spring suspension all around. Tires are in good shape and have plenty of tread.
The engine is a 350 V8 with automatic transmission. The car is fast as it weighs so little. The motor does not seem to have a choke so if it has not been used for a while it takes a few turns to start it up.Once running it runs great. The motor has an automatic electric fan and an expansion tank. There is a slight oil leak from the engine.
The brakes are NOT power brakes so you need to push a bit harder than in a modern car.
As the car is light you can easily wheel spin.
The electrics in the car work well and the battery charges well. It has brake lights but NO TURN SIGNALS. Lights all work well. Dashboard lights up. There is a disconnect switch in the trunk. The trunk lid opener is behind the seat. The car comes with a cover to go over the cab but not a roof.
I am proud of my Ebay feedback rating so I am going to list here a few things that are not quite 100% on the car. Some of the interior trim needs re attaching. Passenger door latch spring needs replacing. The door still closes properly. Slight oil leak from engine. Takes a few turns to start sometimes as there is no choke. Fuel gauge not accurate. Body has some scuffs and marks on it. Personally I would like stronger brakes and considered converting to power brakes. On the steering wheel part of the black coating has peeled off. The gear indicator is not accurate but is easy to get used to.
I have listed as much as I can think of. I will welcome any inspection. If you want me to email you photos of any parts of the car I can do that also. I want you to be happy with your purchase and make sure that you are informed about everything to do with the car.
The car has a clear title and is currently registered in California. It is sold with NO WARRANTY. If you are interested, I urge you to find the time to come and look at the car before bidding. We are in Los Alamitos in California (near Long Beach). To view please PHONE 562 234 9524 or EMAIL tom@vivalasvegas.net

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
