Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car runs WELL and is super reliable, but the inside has plenty of wear. Has a dent on the right rear side, seats have some wear and tear, tail light has minor cracks, passenger side door only unlocks / locks from the outside, A/C needs freon, upper roof upholstery is pretty so-so, wiper blades have become a little slow, washer fluid no longer squirts out, there is wear and tear on the inside of the hatchback area, and the hatchback area carpet is just so-so. So the car definitely has some minor annoyances, but overall this car is super-solid, mechanically. It was my every-day driver for almost ten years, and I think it's still ready to be an every-day driver. Even with the flaws I mention, if you look at the pictures of the insides, it still looks overall decent and clean. The hood is slightly sun-scorched, but nothing terrible at all. Cleaned up, this car still looks sharp. As far as rust, there is only a very tiny spot of rust along the bottom of the front windshield."

I am the third owner. Before me, an old lady almost never drove it, then a tug boat captain bought it and continued to take great care of it. So most of the wear you see came from me, as I used the car for work in the movie business for almost a decade. If you happen to be a fan of the TV show "The Office," you would probably want to know that this car can be seen in the parking lot all the time in seasons 3-5.

I will only accept cash or postal money orders. After auction end, we can meet up in a grocery parking lot or something and I will take you for a spin, before we finalize the deal.

Great car. With some love, it should still have a lot of life left in it. Good luck!

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
