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 and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.
10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
