I won't go into all the fluff other postings have about the 1993 Allante, if you've read one you've read them all.
In addition to this, not a scratch, dent, chip or ding.
Premium Bose symphonic speaker system, but a great speaker system in a convertible, well, you know.
The previous owner put new Michelins on the aluminum wheels.   I replaced them with the Vogues 1-1/4" width whitewall and chrome wheels.  If you can, you should take these almost new tires.  I also have one extra matching Vogue tire, gold ring.   It is really Yellow but saying "Gold" sounds so much more classier.
The A/C has been converted from the old R12 to the new R134 system.  Keep that in mind if you are buying any older car.   Most (including me) did not think of it until I went in for a recharge, and then "SURPRISE".   The CD will not give the disc back, but the car comes with a new still in the box Alpine 6-disc changer.   The right side tailight lense has a small acceptable crack, see photo....the left side curve of the right lense by the license plate.  I also have another less acceptable cracked left tail light lense, which for what these costs (even cracked ones) I can't bring myself to throw away after I replaced it.  I am told it can be repaired, but I don't know how to get to the inside and separate the plastic lense from the housing.
Dash pad, Windblocker, fitted full car cover, extra chrome trim, chrome lower rocker panels, manuals, extra keys.  No Tag, Title, Registration and document fees.  No oil or any other kind of leakage.
I live in the extreme lower SE corner of Missouri.  
$500 deposit into my Pay Pal account, 50% refundable within 10 days of deposit for any or no reason.
The car is not insured, you must show ID and proof of your current insurance if you will be driving it off.
The car is in private storage, so if you want to see it, buy it and drive it off on a weekend, let me know by 3pm Friday.
I don't know exactly what to do about the license plates, as in Missouri the seller keeps the plates. 
I don't want to sell the car but I want to beef up my bucket list account and already have too many cars for one person.
If you want other specific photos of any area of the car, please respond thru eBay with your email address.

GM outlines strategy for new products, growth in China

Wed, 01 Oct 2014



"Our strategic plan is a pathway to earn customers for life and create significant shareholder value in the process." - Mary Barra
General Motors laid out ambitious plans on Wednesday to become the world's "most valued automotive company," a goal it says it can reach by strengthening its business in China, rebuilding the Cadillac luxury brand and fixing the foundering GM Europe operations.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
