I bought this car new in 1984 The engine is original and is worn out (lots of blow by). I purchased a used engine from a 1981 diesel with the intention of installing it in this car. both engines and transmissions are included in this auction. the 1981 engine was rebuilt professionally and has less than 1000 mile on the overhaul the car it was in was wrecked and then parked by the owner for about 20 years. before removing the engine from the car i just bumped the starter to be sure it was free and to my astonishment it started and ran fine. after removing it and striping it down to the block i noticed that the freeze plugs where missing? i presure checked it as best i could and found no cracks so i believe that they just rusted out. about 15 years ago and less than 2000 miles I replaced the following. All suspension bushing bearings and struts, all brake hardware hoses and lines including the master cylinder. rack and pinion. rebuilt the injector pump and injectors. has been sitting in my yard for at least 5 years I cannot guarantee that some of these items will not need to be addresses again especially the brakes. I know the rear brakes are locked up due to rust but will probably free up with a little coaxing. The sun roof drains are stopped up and it has had some water intrusion to the interior as a result. the Head liner was replaced but has fallen down again due to the moisture. All of the parts are included you get two complete engines and transmissions. This was my first brand new car and it is hard for me to let it go but there is just not enough time to put it back together as well as I am tired of hearing my wife complain about it sitting in the yard.

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
