 Read this first please:
* It will not pass valley emissions as currently built.
* It's a Samurai so it's small and a tight fit for two large people.
* It's a 1300 so while it's got more power than a stock Samurai it's not going anywhere fast.
* It's 25+ years old so it needs an owner who can turn wrench on occasion.

Odometer reads 53K miles (actually 153K miles). Runs very good, stronger than stock.

It has a handful of minor things that need to be taken care of to make it 100%.
*Wheel is slightly off-set, the drop pittman arm will center the wheel,  Tracks and brakes straight.
*There is an occasional oil drip - I believe from the rear main seal, I made a mistake when I installed it.
*The passenger fender wheel had rust due to a battery overflow.  It's been repaired but if I were to keep the rig I'd replace the fender eventually.
*The filler bung on the transfer case looks to have been weld repaired.  It will on occasion leak a drop of transmission fluid.
*The air-conditioning was removed, there are two holes in the passenger floorboard where the hoses used to be.
*A couple of other small things but it's a 25 year old vehicle.

Lots of extras, including take off parts, assembly tools, shop manual, many build photos, documentation, etc.

No warranties; sold as is. $500.00 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of close of the auction.  Buyer is responsible for making all arrangements to pick up the vehicle, shipping, etc.  I'll help as much as I can on my end, but ultimately the responsibility rests with the buyer.  If you can find a nicer Samurai tin top for this price I strongly recommend you buy it.

Court approves Suzuki bankruptcy plan

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Suzuki has won approval for its Chapter 11 plan to stop selling cars in the US and concentrate instead on the company's powersports products. Judge Scott C. Clarkson of the US Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California approved the plan after the company's creditors agreed to the conditions.
Suzuki will now sell its motorcycle, ATV and marine divisions to the newly minted Suzuki Motor of America subsidiary under the Suzuki name. The new company will be wholly owned by Suzuki Motor Company. This is the final piece of the company's restructuring puzzle.
The company says it will now be able to grow its powersports businesses here in the US and also provide auto parts and service to current Suzuki owners through what's left of the company's dealer network. You can check out the brief press release on the bankruptcy plan below.

Suzuki Hayabusa's return is teased in video

Fri, Jan 29 2021

Hang on to your kidneys, the planet's fastest production motorcycle is on its way back. Suzuki has released a teaser video for a new Hayabusa on its global and UK social media channels. Only a few glimpses of the superbike can be seen, but it's enough to get our adrenal glands pumping. Debuting in 1999 during Japan's motorcycle speed wars, the Suzuki Hayabusa immediately rocketed to the forefront, nabbing the world record for fastest street bike. Not only has it been clocked at speeds as high as 194 mph, it's held on to that title for for two decades. Notably, the Hayabusa, named after a peregrine falcon known for reaching 200 mph during its hunting dives, did not compromise everyday comfort and handling in pursuit of all-out speed. However, Suzuki had to dump the bike from its U.S. lineup in 2021, and in Europe it's been absent since 2018 due to emissions regulations. It appears, though, that sabbatical was only temporary. The teaser video gives us a couple of peeks at new hardware. Its iconic five-gauge instrument pod is still there, but updated with a TFT screen in center position. The readouts indicate a number of electronic technologies will return, including S-DMS engine power modes, traction control, lift (anti-wheelie) control, and a quickshifter. An inclinometer showing the angle of lean on either side sits in the middle. Flanking the TFT are a tach and speedometer in their traditional positions on the left and right, respectively, with the latter's needle pegged at 180 mph. Fuel levels and engine temperature sit on opposite ends. Accompanying the visuals are a finely tuned roar and plenty of wind noise as the 'Busa flies around a speedway-type banked circuit. The official reveal will take place on February 5 online at 7 a.m. U.K. time — that's 2 a.m. Eastern. You can watch the unveiling on a virtual forum called the Suzuki Motorcycle Global Salon., which requires registration. Unfortunately, there's not word on whether the Hayabusa will come to the U.S.

Suzuki Vitara shows its face ahead of Paris debut

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The death of Suzuki's American automotive operations can be chalked up to many, many things. One thing it cannot be blamed on, however, is the arguable goodness of its products. The company's criminally underrated offerings included the Kizashi sedan, the SX4 compact and your author's personal favorite, the Grand Vitara.
The GV rode on a radically different version of General Motors' Theta platform, which underpins the American manufacturer's current crop of crossovers, like the Chevrolet Equinox. What made the Grand Vitara special, though, was that it wasn't just another run-of-the-mill CUV. Buying the cheapest model meant living with rear-wheel drive rather than the Theta's typical front drive. Spend a bit of money, though, and you'd end up with an honest-to-goodness off-roader, sporting selectable four-wheel drive complete with low-range gearbox. It also comfortably sat five, was reasonably efficient and was quite handsome. We aren't totally sure how it turned into this.
This, of course, being the new Vitara (it replaces the Escudo, the vehicle Americans know as the Grand Vitara), and it will make its global debut at October's Paris Motor Show, which has ditched its four-wheel-drive system for a part-time all-wheel-drive system called Allgrip.
