My step daughter had a boyfriend who needed a car. She co-signed because his credit was bad. He found another girlfriend and skipped town. We finally tracked him down. In the meantime, he blew a radiator hose and drove it until it seized. He had no problem with the repossession and skipped town again. We were stuck with a car with a $6800 pay off and a blown engine. I found a used engine with only 45000 miles on it and installed it. It started right up and runs perfectly. I put on new front brakes and had the interior detailed. We've driven it 3000 miles with no problems. It gets around 30 MPG on the highway if you don't put your foot in it but will get up and move if you do. It is currently licensed until 2014 and has a clear title.
The car is not perfect by any means and I will tell you the problems that I know of so that there are no surprises. First is that the air conditioning isn't working. I might have lost the charge during the engine swap or it's something else. Next is that the cruise control is out. I have a new switch assembly but don't feel confident enough around air bags to pull the wheel off to replace it. There are areas of wear and abuse in the interior that are shown in the pictures. The right front corner is scratched up where he misjudged. nand lastly is the roof that was damaged when he locked himself out and mangled the paint getting in . Luckily, it's not noticeable when the door's shut. The gauge cover has a crack, the console has some damage and the rug has a stain.
Local pick-up is best but I will work with you if it needs to be shipped. I'll take a deposit through Pay-Pal but the balance should be in a certified check or cash.
So there you have it. I'm not a big car guy or a GM guy but I will say that I'm fairly impressed. It's a nice highway cruiser that won't wear you out on a long ride. The engine fires right up and runs like a clock every time. With only 4800 miles on it, it should last a very long time.
I'll be taking a bath on this project (the engine wasn't cheap) but it is what it is. I hope you will find that it meets your needs.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
