2003 Saturn Ion show car. Built for APC Automotive for the 2003 SEMA California car show. Only 10,000 actual miles - will pass any CarFax report.

This was a standard Satrun Ion sedan with 5-speed manual, A/C, power windows, locks, brakes and steering. The car was professionally customized on the West Coast for APC aftermarket car parts company to demonstrate their products (2003 SEMA car show), as follows:

Custom airbrushed paint by Steven Vandemon - google his name - he is an artist - Playing cards in flames theme exterior and interior. The car has been signed/logo by Steven Vandemon.
Custom dual outlet exhaust - sounds great
Air bag suspension on all four corners - two compressors and large holding tank. - Bolt-in installation - nothing cut. Can raise and lower back, front or both with a push of a button.
19 in custom wheels and performance tires - newer tires maybe 2K miles.
Kenwood Stereo with MP3 hookup/ CD player
3400 watt amp and 15 in sub-woofer
customized interior including alligator inlayed and leather seats, custom steering wheel, shoulder harness seatbelts, trunk inserts, etc...
DVD player and 4 screens
Under carriage glow neon lighting
Body kit all around.
Window Tint - (not shown in pics)
Sure I am missing a few items...

Mechanically - other than exhaust, wheels and suspension car is bone stock. Gets over 30 MPG, looks cool, sounds fun (not obnoxious), very reliable - a little time capsule - only 10,000 actual miles - like a new car. Awesome A/C - looks and shines like new car. Neat little car you can drive or show. Thousands spent on custom work alone ($20-30K range)  may consider interesting trades.

Car is not a rebuild or restoration - a new car that was professionally customized for auto shows - like new mechnically.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
