You are looking at a true survivor.  This is a great original condition two owner car that has always been in the same family.  A father to son situation.  The paint is not original, but is the original color and as you can tell by the pictures, it was done very well.  This was not a cheap respray.  There is no bondo on this car.  The car is very drivable and would make an excellent weekend or daily driver as is.  If you chose to make it a show car it would be an easy restoration.  The only known defects are as follows...

  •  The dash clock is not currently functional
  •  There are a few dings along the passenger side of the body (I did the best I could to show those in the pics)
  •  This is a factory AC car, but the system could use charging.  It's not blowing as cold as it should (but since it's February, it wasn't a priority at the moment)

I would consider this excellent considering it is a 42 year old vehicle!

This car started out as a CO car, but spent most of it's life as a Florida car.  The pictures pretty much tell the story.  My loss of storage space is your gain!  Someone is going to get an amazing deal on this car!!!

The car is also available locally through several other sources of media and I reserve the right to end the auction at any point.  If you are serious about it, I would highly suggest the buy it now, this car will get a lot of activity and if I get a good local offer it's gone, since I could use the space!

Terms:

A non refundable deposit will be due within 24 hours of the end of the auction through Paypal, unless you are local and paying in cash.  The remainder of the payment will need to be made either by cash in person if you are local or coming in to pick it up, or by check drawn on a bank where there is a reasonably local branch where I can cash the check and have cash in hand before it leaves my property or goes on a truck.  I have also used Escrow.com in the past and would be willing to consider that option and split the escrow fee (which is minimal)

Please serious inquiries only.  Please only bid if you have your funds available.  I am not willing to hold the car. 

If you need a ride from the airport to pick it up, I can probably help with that.  If you need to ship the car, I can refer you to some carriers that I've used successfully in the past.  Shipping would of course be at your expense, but I am willing to do everything possible to facillitate the delivery.

Please ask any questions prior to bidding.  If you want to make an offer, I'm always willing to listen to reasonable offers.  The worst I can say is no, so don't be shy.

Title is in hand.

Check my feedback, it's all good.  

Thanks for looking. Good luck and happy bidding!!!

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
