Looks good, runs great -- I just got back from driving it. Starts right up, idles smoothly, and no smoke. No leaks -- clean, dry garage floor under it after sitting for a few weeks. TX state inspection in November and TX tags are good through August.

Opening bid is less than 1/4 of what I have in this car. NO RESERVE -- I will sell to highest bidder.

I bought this March of last year because I always wanted one and this one a) was in Texas, not too far from me; b) had a bunch of work & restoration done to it; and c) seemed like fun to work on and drive w/ my teenage son.

We subsequently did, and have had done, more work, while driving it very little. Odometer had 143,831 when I bought it, and quit working right after I got it home. It now shows just under 145,000 but I probably put it up to right at 146,000.

I was going to sell this before the holidays, but my brother drove it and parked it in his driveway and his wife backed her mini-van into the passenger-side front fender and scraped the door -- see the pics. I've been wrestling w/ whether to keep this and further restore it or just sell it -- unfortunately high school varsity baseball uses up a lot of nights and weekends so we decided to let someone else take it from here.

I always wanted one of these. Had fun working on it with my son and driving it, but ready for something else. You could say I scratched that particular itch.

The guy I bought it from was the 2nd owner. He bought it in 2007 and had it shipped from CA to TX.

Adult, non-smoker, non-racer owned (both the previous owner and me). Well maintained and garaged (previous and owner and me).

I am also offering this locally for sale and reserve the right to end the auction if I sell it locally.

Features:

- 5-speed manual

- headers and custom, stainless exhaust

- power driver's seat

- power windows & locks (w/ keyless remotes)

- A/C upgraded to R132 by previous owner. I subsequently put on a new condenser last summer -- blows cold

tinted windows

- 16x7 and 16x8 deep-dish porsche "phone dial" rims w/ zero road rash -- VERY nice!

- performance tires w/ plenty of tread

- Alpine CDR-9857 head-unit, ipod ready, w/ Kenwood power amp and Pioneer sub-woofer -- it CRANKS!

I have a ton of maintenance records, as well as a repair and owners manual (latter, printed out on a laser printer, not the original)

Interior is particularly nice for a 27+ year old car -- seats are excellent and headliner is very good. Carpet is decent, but also has new front floor mats.

Key Notes:

clear title, ready to go

car runs great. starts right up, idles smooth. no smoke.

painted in 2006 and garaged since

see the pics for the good, as well as the damaged fender and scraped door. still drives great!

Known minor mechanical issues:

2. Side mirrors, motors do not work. Glass is flat, aftermarket replacement, as shown in pics.

3. Rear wiper motor does not work. I was going to just remove the whole thing and install a "delete plug" where the arm is mounted. Never got around to it.

4. Odometer quit working at mileage shown in pics (144,794), but there shouldn't be more than 146,000 total

5. Sometimes you have to tap on the Tach to get it to work, but it does work

Other:

1. repainted in 2006. Looks to me like the original color was black. Check out the pics.

2. seller I purchased it from claimed no accidents (according to CarFax) but the driver's door was clearly previously RED, before it was painted along w/ the rest of the car.

3. dented front, passenger-side fender and scraped passenger door (doesn't look to me to be dented).

I have a leather bra and matching mirror covers that came with it (used) that I will include. I also have a new brand-new, lined car-cover that has never been on the car that I will also include.

Feel free to contact me through ebay with questions, or call me at 713-429-1516, but note that I DO NOT answer calls that don't show caller-ID. I also have more pics if you want to see something in particular.

Happy to work w/ YOUR shipper if you buy it. But I'm not interested in arranging shipping.

SoCal car culture bids farewell to an LA motoring landmark

Thu, Apr 28 2016

It had a good run, but after 84 years, LA's iconic 6th Street Bridge is being torn down and replaced with a new structure. Magnus Walker gathered members of Southern California's legendary car culture to say goodbye. The East 6th Street bridge is just one of the hundred-plus spans that cross the Los Angeles River, built during the boom era of the 1930s, but it's among the most iconic. It spans the river and the rail yards from the industrial area to the West Side that's rapidly gentrifying as LA's Arts District. Unfortunately the concrete that was laid down way back in the 1932 is far beyond repair at this point. So after years of patchwork and tentative maintenance, the local authorities are taking it down and replacing it with a new bridge in a process that's expected to take four years. The destruction of the landmark is sad news for the people who have come to embrace it as one of the city's most memorable structures – people like Magnus Walker. The so-called Urban Outlaw, known as much for his offbeat style as he is for customizing Porsches, put out word to the tuner community that it was time to say goodbye to their beloved bridge, and out they came, looking like something straight out of a Fast & Furious movie. See how it all came together in this latest video from eGarage. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

World Car Awards finalists snub American-branded vehicles — except for Bronco

Fri, Feb 2 2024

The list of World Car Awards has been whittled down to 10 finalists, but only one American brand — Ford Â— appears among the remaining nine carmakers for this yearÂ’s top award. The Bronco is there, and it also is balloted as a finalist in the design category. The other categories are performance car, urban car, electric vehicle and luxury model. Each category has five finalists except World Car, which has 10. One brand conspicuous by its absence in any category: Tesla. The winner in each is scheduled to be crowned March 27 at the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. The selection process involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. If youÂ’re counting, the brands that appear most on the six finals lists are Mercedes-Benz (four times), BMW (also four), Hyundai (three), and Volvo (three). HereÂ’s the full listing. A video clip showing all of them is here: World Car -BYD Seal / Atto 4 -Ford Bronco -Hyundai Kona / Kona Electric -Hyundai Santa Fe -Kia EV9 -Mazda CX-90 -Subaru Crosstrek -Toyota Prius -Volkswagen ID.7 -Volvo EX30 World Car Design of the Year Ford Bronco Ferrari Purosangue Toyota Prius Volvo EX30 Zeekr X 2024 World Electric Vehicle BMW i5 Kia EV9 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Volkswagen ID.7 Volvo EX30 2024 World Luxury Car - BMW 5 Series / i5 - Lexus LM - Mercedes-Benz CLE - Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 2024 World Urban CarÂ - Abarth 500e - BYD Dolphin - Lexus LBX - Suzuki Fronx - Volvo EX30 2024 World Performance Car - BMW M2 - BMW XM - Ferrari Purosangue - Hyundai Ioniq 5 N - Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush

Tue, Aug 29 2017

File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.
