Original motor is gone as well as the trans, when I bought the car the owner thought he might have them buried somewhere in storage but they have yet to surface. Car is sitting on original rims and still has the original 10 bolt posi and everything is free, she rolled right on and off the trailer when I picked her up originally. Sequoia Green with "Covert" (light tan) interior. Interior is all there including the original AM/FM pushbutton radio, nothing is hacked up. Original dash and U-14 gauges and correct tach are all there. Seats will need recovering and door panels will need replacing, etc... but it's all available repro. All the glass is decent (factory tinted) and I put a solid OEM hood on the car since the original was shot.

Front and rear correct sway bars are all there as are the spoilers. The original console was missing, I found a correct 4-Speed console from a 71 which is in excellent condition and I have the correct 72 shift plate without the shift pattern on it and the correct ITM shifter for the car that will be included. Also have the hard to find Z-28 Exhaust Heat Shields, these go with the car, they were removed as I was cleaning them up and sandblasting them, I've been offered $250 just for these, they are not reproduced anywhere. Since last look I also realized that the mileage on the clock is most likely original, the previous owner told me that the car was parked sometime in the 80's and it's not likely the car had 150 something on it by then, so I'm betting that it's got 56153 original on it.

On the rust side, there are two rust-throughs on the rear framerails but it's where they swing up into the axle well and the rails themselves are structurally intact up into the trunk pan and to the tail panel. The wheelhouses, shock towers and metal above the rails back to the rear are not bad at all. Trunk floor is rusty but not full of holes, original jack is still in there. The rear suspension is intact and sitting right and sway bars are in place, springs don't look half bad either for that matter. It's got the typical Camaro rust in the rear quarters at the bottom and into the doors, it's not the worst I've seen, can  probably get away with 1/2 quarters unless you want to put fulls on. Again, inner and outer wheelhouses are good in the rear and shock towers are solid. Rockers have some holes but again, not bad.

Floors are not bad in rear and under rear seat but some holes in front floors. Front fenders have the typical rust on the rear lower portions but I would say are salvageable with lower patch panels. Valance and header have surface rust but no holes, definitely can be retained. Rear lower valance has rot. The urethane nose has a cracked part as is typical. Radiator support is intact but has some typical rust below where the radiator was. Roof looks good as do the a-pillars and top of cowl down the firewall to the toeboards, nothing bad for the most part. Bumperettes are not bad and neither are the lights and markers and trim, not show car material but would clean up for driver/survivor look. Front subframe does not look bad and the body mounts are not all torn up and shot so again this is a good sign. You can see from the engine bay photos that someone literally yanked the motor and trans and just left everything else there, even wiring harnesses and accessories. The Z-bar and lockout linkage is even still there for the trans.

There are no keys for this car but I have a full new cylinder set with ignition, doors and trunk that I will provide with the car.

I have 4 boxes of parts for restoration I will include with the car valued over $2000 with reserve price met.

Reminder - this car needs a complete restoration, ask any questions you have before bidding please!

Buyer must come with a trailer, pay cash and pickup the car, we will not be shipping but will assist with loading.

Car is for sale locally so reserving right to end auction early however will not sell locally below my Ebay reserve.

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever

Tue, Jun 3 2014

Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
