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.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
