Year:1977 Mileage:53862
Location:

Morgantown, West Virginia, United States

I started this as a project, but marriage, a new son, and a new house have gotten in the way. I spent well over $3000 in parts, etc, and this will be a really nice car when completed, but I no longer have the time or space. My loss is your gain. Car has been garaged since I've owned it. Too nice of a car to part out, but at this price, you could buy it for parts. I was told when I bought the car that the miles were original and actual. From the condition of the car when I got it, I believe that to be accurate. Car is complete, minus carpet and rubber door and window seals. Body is in good condition for the age. The car was Ziebarted when new. The only real rust on car was the driver's side floor (which has been cut out for repair) and rocker panel. All removable body panels are off the car. Most of the body has been stripped back to bare metal for a respray. Some body work was started. Some of the body panels have been primed with PPG self-etching primer. All glass is good, including windshield and backlight with defrost. New upholstery for the interior. New front brakes, clutch master and slave cylinders, etc. Clear WV title.

Buyer is responsible for shipping. Car ran and drove when parked, but the clutch slave cylinder was bad. Fuel tank has since been drained and removed. All running gear is still in car. Rolls and steers. I will help with shipping as far as: boxing all parts, temporarily re-attaching doors, fenders, hood and hatch, and helping to load. I would recommend a closed trailer to prevent any parts from being lost if a box falls over, etc. Most bolts are in baggies attached to the part they hold on, or in the original threaded bolt holes. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PARTS OR FASTENERS LOST, STOLEN, BROKEN OR OTHERWISE MISPLACED OR DAMAGED IN TRANSIT!!!!!

This car is for sale, complete, but disassembled. AS-IS, Where-is. I strongly urge anyone bidding to visit and look at the car in person, or send a trusted representative so you know exactly what you are buying. I have tried to make my description of  this car as accurate and honest as possible. Description is for informative purposes only and is my personal opinion. In no way is my description to be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any type. Please understand that this is a 37 year old car, not a new car. This car has been disassembled for restoration, it is not a running and driving vehicle. 

This is a NO RESERVE auction. Whatever the final bid price is what the car will sell for. I have 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence. By bidding on this car, you are entering into a legally binding contract. Non-paying bidders will be prosecuted. Buyer responsible for securing shipment or transport of vehicle at buyers cost. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close. Full payment due within 7 days of auction close. Neither the car nor the title will be released until payment in full is made.

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:

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
