Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Survivor!  Mileage is accurate at 15,483 and works out to 344 miles per year! Third owner.  The only changes are new measurement-correct Coker tires (to replace the 1969 originals), front discs to replace original drums (it actually stops now but I still have the original drums if you like to live on the edge) and electronic ignition.  Otherwise, stock.  The way she rolled out of the factory.  

Base model '69 Newport. No Air, no tilt, no cruise, no P Windows or P Locks. AM only radio.  Clock not working but that's it. Always garaged.  A pristine monument to gigantic cars that will never come again.  This vehicle was originally purchased in Jamestown, NY where it actually was driven for by a little old lady.  I purchased it from her relatives in Binghamton NY and drove it across the continent 10 years ago.  It never gave me any trouble...except...no cupholders.  Has a 383 2-barrel that actually gets decent mileage.

I have service orders from the original owner that show the vehicle was serviced at McFadden Chrysler in Jamestown.  What's interesting is the first work order is from July 10, 1995 and shows a mileage on the car of 10,195.  A year later, a work order from the same dealer dated July 11, 1996 shows a mileage of 10,313.  That's 118 miles in one year.

If you're looking for a no-restoration-needed, pristine sedan, here it is.  Vehicle located in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Note:  Odometer photo indicates 15,481.  Since then I've driven it around the block a couple of times.  Started up like a champ.  The correct mileage is 15,483.

Located in Canada.  Will sell to Canada and the United States. (Lower 48 states)

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo

Mon, Jul 3 2017

When Diamond Star Motors, a Chrysler-Mitsubishi joint venture, came online in the late 1980s, the first products to come out of the Normal, Illinois assembly plant were versions of the first-generation of the Mitsubishi Eclipse. There was the Eclipse itself, the Eagle Talon, and the Plymouth Laser. Here's a somewhat tattered example of the latter type, spotted in a Northern California self-serve yard. This car is unrelated to the Chrysler Laser of a few years earlier, which was based on the K-platform-derived Dodge Daytona. The Plymouth Laser was a pure Mitsubishi design. This one has the DOHC turbocharged 2.0-liter Sirius engine, rated at 190 horsepower. That was plenty of power by 1990 standards, a year in which the wildest possible Chevrolet Camaro (the IROC-Z, of course) packed just 230 hp under the hood. The IROC-Z weighed 3,149 pounds versus the Laser's 2,483, giving the Laser a slightly better power-to-weight ratio, not to mention a price tag more than $500 lower. CD players in cars were still uncommon in 1990; this Laser has the much more mainstream "computer controlled deck" cassette player, complete with nine-band graphic equalizer. Badging in futuristic typefaces was all the rage when this car was new. The all-wheel-drive Eclipse/Talon/Laser didn't hit dealerships until the 1991 model year, so all the '90s are front-wheel-drive only. The torque steer experienced in these cars could be exciting.

Watch Jay Leno's Garage work on a Porsche 911 and others

Mon, Apr 18 2016

Jay Leno doesn't just own a bunch of cars – he restores them. (Or has people who restores them, at any rate.) For this latest video, he's showing us some of the projects he and his team are currently working on. The tour-de-garage starts with a 1953 Cunningham that had been in storage since '68, complete with a copper grille ready for plating and a 331 Hemi V8. Jay says that every one of the cars that Briggs Cunningham made is still on the road – but that's just one of the dozen or so projects Jay and company are working on. There's a suitably brown '71 Porsche 911 T in near-original condition having sat untouched parked underground in Beverly Hills for decades, and a '58 Chrysler Imperial convertible once driven by Clark Gable and Frank Sinatra, and now getting a brake upgrade. There's a Volvo 122 wagon that's been stripped down, media-blasted, and powder-coated, a thousand-horsepower Rolls-Royce, a 1960 Nash Metropolitan, a supercharged Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman, and a 1914 Detroit Electric. And those are just the four-wheeled automobiles. Over in the two-wheeler section there's a pair of Brough Superiors, a BSA, an Indian, and a custom racing sidecar that Jay's mechanic Bernard is working on. In short, Jay Leno's Garage isn't just one where vehicles are kept – it's one where vehicles are brought back to life.
