If you have ever had the urge to buy a true classic, collectible car that you need not spend a fortune to buy it or keep it maintained then this is the car for you.  Absolutely the best driving muscle car I have ever driven.  I have owned approximately 1,000 cars that I would consider muscle cars.  This car is as original as it gets.  Numbers matching engine, transmission and rear end with a 3.42 posi.  Muncie M-21 with original shifter that was rebuilt in California prior to my ownership.  Engine has had a cam change and an aluminum intake and MSD ignition added.  The engine has a nice lope through the flowmasters.  I have the original intake, distributor and valve covers.  This just gives it a little more pep but retains its originality.  Alternator is original and A/C is still on R-12 and works great.  Still has the original shifter and also the original standard-shift radiator.  Car never goes over 210 in the heat with the A/C on.  Speedometer shows 58,676 miles but I cannot verify this.  All indicators are that this is correct.  All original interior is in excellent condition.  Dash pad has a small crack near the speaker.  I have a cap on the dash at this time.  I have the build sheet for this vehicle and it matches up rather nicely.  It shows windshield antenna which is rare.  It has the original HR-70-15 spare in the trunk.  Has an aftermarket AM FM in the glove box and the original 8 track still on the dash.  Key buzzer still functions as does the shift lock from the transmission to the steering column.  It must be in reverse to get the key out of it.  Drives absolutely straight with no shakes or pull.  A pleasure to own and drive.  All of the gauges work perfectly.  Currently has 17” American Racing Hopster wheels on it - which are not my taste but look great and run smoothly.  The tires have approximately 1,600 miles on them.  2 1/2 “ true dual exhaust with flowmasters and it sounds great.  Clutch does not chatter nor slip, it engages perfectly and pulls great.  I had it painted 6 years ago and it has held up great.  Paint looks deep and glossy.  I also had a new vinyl top put on at the same time with the original material of course.  Rea end is quiet and grabs perfectly.  Absolutely no issues – get in it and drive.  The original exhaust manifolds and smog are still in place so there are no headers to leak.  Has matching number carburetor on the aluminum intake.  Engine starts great and idles at 800 RPM and lopes great.  It has great muscle car sound.  I think I covered it all, but look at the pictures and if you have a question that I did not cover, give me a call.  806-236-5911C or 806-373-9736W.  The only reason for selling is the purchase of a house.  Please do not be a bogus bidder – man-up!  If you meet the reserve, then I expect you to complete the auction.  I do not need bids to help sell my car.  The car itself will sell on its own merit.  I will help on this end to deliver it to the shipper of your choice.  Title is clear and in my name.  Payment of cash or cashier’s check prior to pick up.  Vehicle will be released after all funds are cleared and in my hand.  No warranty – I think it expired a few years ago.  Check my feedback – good luck and God bless.  Free delivery to lower 48 states if you use Buy-It-Now.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

Weekly Recap: Revisting the BBC report that ended Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear run

Sat, Mar 28 2015

Jeremy Clarkson's long run as a Top Gear host has come to an end, and the reason is clear: His physical assault on one of the show's producers crossed a line, and the government-owned BBC couldn't tolerate it. The incident between Clarkson and Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon was initially described as a "fracas," and Clarkson was suspended. But his popularity and widespread support – even British Prime Minister David Cameron weighed in – suggested that the controversial Clarkson might be given yet another chance. The BBC put this to rest Wednesday when it sacked Clarkson and revealed the findings of its investigation. The report spelled out how Clarkson struck Tymon on the patio of a North Yorkshire (UK) hotel, leaving him with a bloodied, swollen lip. It was severe enough that the producer sought medical treatment. During and after the attack, Clarkson shouted expletives at Tymon and threatened to fire him. The noise carried into the hotel's dining room and even to a bedroom. Local police investigated the incident, but Tymon isn't pressing charges. The huge audience numbers, Clarkson's popularity and the high-octane excitement of Top Gear all melted away in the eyes of BBC director-general Tony Hall, who saw an attacker and a victim. "For me a line has been crossed," he said in a statement. "There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations." In that moment, Clarkson was the bad guy, though he was actually the one who reported it to the network and made repeated attempts to apologize to Tymon. He's also urged the media to leave the producer alone. Hall voiced regret in the statement that announced Clarkson's contract would not be renewed, but the BBC decided to move on. Rumors are swirling about possible replacements for Clarkson. The network says it wants to continue Top Gear in 2016 and is looking to air the rest of this season's episodes. Despite the controversy, the show has a global audience of 350 million viewers and is one of the BBC's most valuable properties. It's unclear what Clarkson's co-hosts, James May and Richard Hammond, will do, as their contracts were also reportedly up to be renewed.

Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant

Mon, Jun 23 2014

The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
