I originally had this vehicle listed in Seattle, but the reserve was not met.  I since drove it from Seattle to Las Vegas with no mechanical issues.  The car cruised nicely and comfortably on cruise control at 75 mph the whole way down.  Upon arriving in Las Vegas I had the oil changed and the new tires rotated.

I have since taken two trip once to LA and the 2nd trip to San Diego in the car and have had no mechanical issues.

Power windows, cruise control, interval wipers, adjustable seats are all in excellent working condition.  AC was recently services and blows ice cold and the heater heats up the entire car in less than two minutes.  All climate control features are in excellent working order.

Original mats (front & back) have been covered for most of their lives and are in excellent condition.  Spare tire and ALL the original chrome tools are included and are in trunk with the original jack.

This vehicle was purchased new in Germany as part of the German Delivery Program (vehicle as the original badge on the front grill).  Does not burn or drip any oil and transmission shifts smoothly. 

Vehicle as NOT been smoked in - ashtrays and lighter are unused.

MINOR ISSUES - the power antenna works but sticks occasionaly, when I got to Las Vegas I oiled it and it is now functioning.   The speedometer sometimes sticks on zero, but jumps up once you hit highway speeds. 

In Seattle I put on four brand NEW white wall tires (with approx. 2,000 miles on them) and installed a brand new full sized battery (with seven year AAA warranty).  I have managed to accumulate most of the original manuals and books which I have all scanned copies of into my computer.

The leather seats have no rips or tears and for the years are in good condition.  The wood interior is not chip or blemished and the dash is in excellent condition with just three hairline cracks which are hardly noticable.  Only thing required for the interior to be original is to replace the Sony cassette deck (which was installed by the owner in the 80s) with the Becker unit (I have not been able to locate one of the original Beckers in working order).

Exterior is in amazing condition for being the original paint and chrome.  The chrome as is not pitted.  The paint is in good condition, it does have some minor scratches and parking lot dents, but these are barely noticable.

Cetificate of title is clean and platet tags are current.   Please call me with any questions - 702-666-7131 - vehicle is located in Las Vegas, NV.

Race recap: 2015 Singapore Grand Prix full of odd sideshows

Mon, Sep 21 2015

What greeted the Formula One teams in Singapore? Confusion. The haze was so thick that observers wondered if the race would be held at all. Then practices began, and Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg took the first one, but the team fell away after that. Mercedes said it couldn't get the tires turned on, but no one believed the Silver Arrows was in genuine trouble. Then qualifying set the confusion in stone. Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel laid down the best time in Q3, taking the team's first pole position since Germany in 2012. Daniel Ricciardo got his Infiniti Red Bull Racing into second, about one tenth behind Vettel. (That may make the team feel better after Ricciardo publicly asked for a better engine than the current Renault unit, and team advisor Helmut Marko said the outfit will quit F1 at the end of this year if it can't get a stronger powerplant for 2016.) Kimi Raikkonen put the second Ferrari in third, Daniil Kvyat put the second Red Bull in fourth. And only then came the Meredes'. Lewis Hamilton's best got him fifth, the Brit saying, "We don't really know what we have got wrong. For some reason the tires are not working on the car. We do the warm-up the same as everyone else and then you see someone one second up the road." For added emphasis on the reversal of fortune, his time was 1.6 seconds behind Vettel's. Teammate Rosberg is next to him in sixth, a further half a second back. Williams is still a hurting a bit on slow tracks, so Valtteri Bottas could only get into seventh ahead of Max Verstappen in the Toro Rosso and teammate Felipe Massa in ninth. When the red lights went out, the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix would get both less interesting and more interesting all the way to the final lap. The men up front got good getaways, and the order into Turn 1 was Vettel, Ricciardo, and Raikkonen. The race finished with those three in that order, never having conceded position. Vettel's Ferrari enjoyed the track so much that he laid a second per lap into Ricciardo for the first five, then relaxed. He'd let the gap come down later in the race a couple of times, but any time he wanted to see what his mirrors looked like without anyone in them he'd take off again. Rosberg took fourth position after holding down sixth for the first stint. It looked like he'd have an even worse day - for a Mercedes driver - when he had problems getting his car started and onto the grid before the race.

They discuss the practical-yet-luxurious Lincoln Nautilus, as well as the state of Lincoln as a whole (did you hear it just got a new design boss?).

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt

Fri, Oct 31 2014

The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."
