Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The engine compartment heater boxes are missing, the passenger seat has an open seam, the horn doesn't work and somebody installed a really silly radio and a goofy fan. No significant rust; the floorboards are rusty but not rusted through and probably can use some attention. Bumpers/grill/star are in excellent condition. It won't go into reverse; it is thought to be a linkage problem. Also after sitting still for a year and a half the brake pedal is very low and soft. It starts right up every time and the engine runs extremely well. The left rear fender was hit at some point in the past and the repair work was done poorly. The interior is OK. I've never understood the brown and red interior. The headliner has a bad spot in the left rear; New one in the trunk. There are four matching Michelin tires that look very good but probably need replacing before long road trips are done.This car has been an absolute pleasure to drive & work on."

 

About four years ago a woman in her seventies walked up to me as I was parking and said, ""I dated a rich guy once and he had a car that looked just like this. It's very nice." .I smiled and thanked her. I promise you that I am not that rich guy but I have enjoyed this car every time I drove it and worked on it.  It won't win the concurs `d elegance this year, but it could if  you put a few bucks in it.    Except for the left rear fender, the body is excellent. It's obvious that it was hit a some point in the past and whoever repaired it did a really crappy job.   It has a dings and scratches and needs a good paint job. It is in remarkably good condition for its 52 years. There is no significant rust. The floor is rusty but not rusted through.  The bright work is amazing. The bumpers are flawless, as is the grill and star. It has a transmission problem that we think is a linkage issue. It won't go into reverse.  Also since its been sitting for about 1 1/2 years the brake pedal is extremely soft/low.    Everything else is very good.  It starts the first crank, every time. The headliner looks a little shabby in the left rear corner, but there is a new one in the trunk.  I'm not sure how many miles are actually on it. The odometer shows 66598 but it could be one hundred or two hundred thousand more.  I'm not sure how many owners there have been. I bought it from an elementary school librarian (honest) about 6 years ago, who bought from some one in Connecticut. It has been in Georgia for nine years and I shipped it to Texas about 1 1/2 years ago.    I smile every time I get in and the interior light goes on. It still works!  This is a solid car, remarkable for its age. Please ask questions; I will answer to the best of my ability..

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Mercedes teases massive new Maybach coupe

Wed, Aug 10 2016

Mercedes-Benz hasn't done a lot with its Maybach brand over the last few years. After killing the slow-selling standalone Maybach line, the badge sat unused, until MB slapped it on a luxed-out S600. But today, Mercedes posted a teaser of a new, two-door Maybach on its social media channels. Immediately given away by the Maybach badge on the C-pillar (and possibly one on the nose), we could be looking at a modern-day Exelero – a successor to Maybach's last coupe, a one-off, 700-horsepower rocket ship that deserved all the Darth Vader's car cliches – capable of extremely high speeds and stunning comfort. Everything from the long hood (better to accommodate some monstrous V12 engine) to the windshield's aggressive rake, to the absurdly long tail, signals a 200-mile-per-hour-plus top speed for this concept. And yes, we're thinking this is a concept. Kick the exposure way up with Photoshop and you can see that the side mirrors are too slim to actually function as normal mirrors – they're almost certainly cameras. Other details? Whatever Mercedes calls its new Maybach, it's going to be huge. According to the caption accompanying the teaser, this car is six meters (19.6 feet) long – that's over three feet longer than an S-Class Coupe and nearly four feet longer than a Bentley Continental GT. Like we said, it's enormous. And that's about all we know. Mercedes dropped this teaser out of the blue, nearly two months before the auto show season kicks off in Paris. It's possible the company could continue to tease out a new Maybach concept until early October, but more likely, we'll see an online debut ahead of the Paris show. Stay tuned.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?

Fri, Sep 22 2017

Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.
