This car was a barn find. It was sitting there for 17 years. We pulled the car out of the barn. I replaced the distributor cap, spark plugs and wires and the car started right up. Except for the carburetor needs work and the old gas in the system. The car never smoked and it sat and idled and ran great. Except for the old gas in the system and the carburetor not working right the car is drivable. I think the accelerator pump inside the carburetor has dried up. The windshield is not cracked and there is no broken glass in the car. The car had a vinyl top on it. Someone had stripped it off so I do not have the moldings for it. The holes are still in the roof where the moldings were. I've looked the car over and I can't find any indication that the car has been wrecked hard but there is some body filler in a few places around the car. The car does need some body work. The lower left and right rear quarter panels are rusted out and the valance panel under the front bumper is damaged but there is a good one to replace it in the trunk. I haven't looked under the car but all the floor pans seem to be solid. I tried to take pictures of everything on the car that may be a problem so please pay attention to the pictures. THIS CAR HAS 83,000 ORIGINAL MILES. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. At the end of the auction, $500 will be paid to PayPal. If money is not deposited in PayPal within 24 hours of the end of auction, the sale is voided. Negative feedback will be left and the car goes back on eBay for sale. For local pickup only. Any cost of moving this car from this property is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Balance to be paid when the car is picked up. The car has to be moved within 7 days. Serious bidders only. Good luck. |

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]
Mon, 25 Mar 2013The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.
