1963 American Motors Corporation Rambler 220 on 2040-cars
Paris Crossing, Indiana, United States
1963 AMC Rambler American 220. Ugly car. I bought this car on EBay in February 2012 and had it shipped in from Oregon. Way more money in it than I will ever get out of it but I don't want to scrap it out. When I got it I either had the carburetor rebuilt or bought another one for it. I also ordered a water pump which was nearly impossible to find. I believe the engine is an L6, not 100% certain. It has been a while since I worked on it. I licensed it and insured it and just cancelled the insurance two days ago. The engine ran great, as far as I could tell. After I had the carburetor work and the water pump replaced and whatever else I had done to it, the transmission got stuck in two gears. Not sure if it was the linkage or the transmission itself. Anyway I got tired of messing with it and parked it and it has been sitting ever since. I have not tried to start it, it has no battery. I'm pretty sure that it is still stuck in two gears. I have an ignition key. I don't think I ever had a trunk key. I have no idea what is in the trunk or what condition it is in. The floor boards are rusted pretty badly. The body is not as bad as a lot of the old Ramblers. It is not all dented up but it does have some rust. A lot of it does not appear to be through the metal. Please check out the pictures and ask any questions that you may have before bidding and I will do my best to answer them. The head liner is still attached and not sagging. The seats have probably two seat covers so I'm not sure what kind of shape the seats are in. At least one, if not two tires are flat. They were up and holding air when I got it. I did drive the car very little. The tires may or may not hold air. I'm pretty sure all four would need replaced should you decide to try and fix the car up. The paint job on the car was done poorly and it is chipping and looks bad. I don't know what else to say about the car. Ask questions if you have them. The new buyer will be responsible for shipping. If the new owner does not live too far, say about two hundred to two hundred fifty miles, I may be able to deliver it at an additional charge depending on distance, tolls, etc. The car will be sold as-is. I do have a clear title in my name. A non refundable payment of $200.00 is due within twenty four hours of auctions end, pay pal will be fine. If for any reason you change your mind about finalizing the deal, the down payment will be non refundable. The balance can be paid in cash when picked up or by pay pal before picking it up. There is no great rush in having it picked up. I know how it is getting a trucking company. Two or three weeks unless we make other arrangements.

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
