Diamond in the rough. I'm not sure, I don't know Sonett's that well, but the nose has been modified to be full tilt, and the pop up headlights eliminated. Kinda sweet really. Also both bumpers removed and body filled.

You could certainly start with worse but make no mistake this car is in somewhat rough condition. There are several places on the body where previous repairs are evident, and just places where the gel is bubbled for some reason or another, like on the front hood where there is a seam running the full width of the car. The rivets are now bubbling under the fiberglass. Maybe that was part of the mods to make it a one piece tilt nose, not sure.

Rust in pan and particularly the passenger side rocker.

Interior tolerable, but both door panels need some refurbishing, passenger seat has a few tears. Carpet must have been replaced. Headliner is falling down but not torn up. Dash pretty decent, gauges look pretty good.

This car has been sitting for a number of years. The brakes and clutch are frozen. Currently the passenger front wheel is stuck, I'll try to free it up. Exhaust was rusty and got ripped off winching the car up onto my trailer (whoops). It was pretty much trashed anyways.

I put a battery in, hooked the engine up to a remote fuel tank, and it fired up immediately. Sounded pretty good, but loud with just an open pipe, settled into a smooth idle. Seemed to rev just fine. I only ran it a few minutes, while there is some antifreeze in the header tank, not sure if the engine is full, probably is. Oil pressure light and the alternator light both go out immediately upon firing up. Turn lights work, interior light works, wipers work, radio works, no gas light works, gauges in general seem to work. I did not get the blower or headlights to work. Brake pedal frozen so I can't say if the brake lights work. The added on gauges seem to work. Oil pressure showed 30-40psi, vacuum gauge moved appropriately. Temp gauge did not move, but as I said, I did not run it long.

Tires hold air.

Windshield has crack in lower left corner. Other glass is good, door glass crank up and down.

If I wasn't tripping over cars all ready I'd fix the hydraulics and drive as is (also with a muffler). I'm not saying everything else is 100%, but it does seem doable.

Have a good look at the pictures, I can get more.

I'm Doug 937 two 31 zero193

Thanks for looking. What you see is what you get.

GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.

Former Saab chairman Muller faces summons in tax inquiry

Thu, 23 May 2013

Former Saab Chairman Victor Muller may be called in for questioning as part of an official inquiry into suspected tax evasion by three of the automaker's former executives. A prosecutor has officially named former CEO Jan-Ake Jonsson and two other executives in the investigation, and official court documents say that Muller will be called in by the Financial Crimes Unit. According to Reuters, prosecutors are currently looking into allegations that the executives worked to dodge taxes between 2010 and 2011, when the automaker finally went into bankruptcy.
The Truth About Cars reports the investigation may center around the $540,000 paid as consulting fees to Latin America Tug Holding NV, a company Muller owns. It's possible that the Swedish authorities believe the Saab executives were using the tug boat company as a tax haven, and that the automaker should have paid taxes and social security contributions on the money. Muller has not been charged.
Meanwhile, Muller is defending his earnings in a new interview with Automotive News. Having come under fire for his $773,000 salary at Saab, the Spyker CEO said his pay was commensurate with an executive running a company with 4,000 employees.

Spyker's $3B lawsuit against GM for blocking Saab sale thrown out

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

US District Judge Gershwin Drain has dismissed a $3-billion lawsuit Spyker filed against General Motors. In the suit, Spyker accused GM of attempting to bankrupt Saab after the US automaker had already sold the company to Spyker. GM in effect blocked the sale of Saab to China's Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile Company by prohibiting the transfer of some of its intellectual property. But the court found that GM had a "contractual right" to approve or disapprove any change of ownership. Furthermore, Reuters reports Judge Drain said the contract between GM and Spyker "is clear, unambiguous and absolute" on the matter.
GM, meanwhile, says it is pleased with the ruling. Spyker CEO Victor Muller has not said whether or not his company will appeal the ruling. The Dutch automaker is expected to make a final decision once the court issues its written order on the case.
