NOTE: In the product details it says "Drive Type: U/K". I don't know if that implies "unknown" or if that means "United Kingdom". But it wouldn't let me create my listing unless I selected that. Just to be clear: the steering wheel is on the left-side, and it is a completely United States car.
I bought this car 3 years ago for my son, did some work, he ended up not driving it. Don't have time to drive it myself, so it's sitting in a storage garage. On top of that, I have another one I want to restore, so I have to sell this one to make room.
This is a nice looking, mostly original car that starts/runs/drives extremely good. After sitting in storage for a two-month stretch it starts right up. This is NOT a show-car restoration by any means, but it does look nice and is fun to drive. We did have a body shop repair some minor rust and dings and paint it three years ago with PPG basecoat/clearcoat. Haven't touched it since, and it looks pretty good, but it could use some buffing now and it would be even better.
New stuff I installed:
- Edelbrock carb and air cleaner
- HEI distributor
- Plugs & wires
- Alternator
- Windshield
- Tie rod ends and other stearing linkage parts.
- Rear transmission seal.
- Front brakes - pads and calipers. Rear brakes checked, they're good.
- Tires are still nearly new, as you can see in the pictures.
Problems:
- Has one cigarette hole in the front seat, otherwise interior is in excellent shape - headliner in great shape, no cracks in the dash.
- Shifter linkage (on the column) is a little sloppy, probably needs to be tightened up. But it works.
- It's got an aftermarket radio in the dash, but it doesn't work.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.
