 Here is a HOT ROD that your friends will envy you for having.  This has the best of the both the HOT ROD worlds.   It is an attention getter of the classic old hot rods of the 60's but the performance and handling of the latest sports cars out there.   At 80 MPH on the highway, you will be cruising at around 1400 RPMS resulting in about 17 MPG.   This makes this an awesome day trip cruiser to the lake, out to eat or wherever you desire.   However, if you are looking for sheer power and wheel spinning torque, this car has more than most avid drivers can handle.  I assure you, this vehicle will get away from you in a heart beat if you don't know how to drive one, and even if you do you should leave it up to the professionals on the track.

The first owner of this vehicle was a wealthy older gentleman who put most the miles on it.  Approximately 26,000 to 27,000 miles to be exact.  The second owner had for only a short period as he was a private contractor for Iraq and not long after having purchased, picked up another contract job that was sending him overseas for 12 to 18 months.   So, that leads to me...   I am a conservative and cautious buyer.   I purchased approximately 3 years ago with around 29,000 miles and have put around 1,000 miles a year on it driving to and from my office.

I religiously changed the oil in the spring and fall with Mobile One Ultra Synthetic oil.   2 years ago I put new brake pads and rotors on the monster, changed the plugs and replaced the tires.   Since then, I have put approximately 1500 miles on this car.   The reason I have decided to sell is because we recently moved out in the country and our driveway is approximately 1/2 mile long and is dusty and dirty.   I can't keep the car clean and I have to spend 25 minutes cleaning and wiping down with Windex every time I leave the home.  So, time to move on to some other toys and can get dirty and not fret about.
 
ABOUT THIS CAR:

Never been in an accident.  (NOTE:  Carfax reports an incident in 2004.  Seller advised what this was for but I have unfortunately forgot.  I own an insurance agency and when we run a prior insurance claim history check, we don't find any previous insurance claims.
Has the 3M clear bra on the front and mirrors.
Black racing stripes added aftermarket.
Upgraded exhaust, no idea what it is but sounds like a Nascar and much more aggressive than stock Viper.
This car looks virtually new with only very minor blemishes near the wheel wells from small rocks and stones that any car with 32,000 miles would have.
There is a small blemish on the back hood but is almost invisible after having used touch up paint (1" by 1/16")   Car Hauler nicked corner of trunk with wrench while undoing tie downs while I was taking delivery.
Never smoked in and have Viper OEM floor mats.

Call Steve at (517)663-0600 with questions.

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION.   VEHICLE IS LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY AND SELLER RESERVES RIGHTS TO END AUCTION EARLY.

CLEARED FUNDS REQUIRED IN ADVANCE.   CASHIERS CHECK OR CERTIFIED FUNDS.   PAYPAL MAY BE AN OPTION AS LONG AS BUYER AGREES TO PAY ALL PAYPAL FEES!
 

* NOTE:  Drivers seat the outside edge is slightly pushed in, most likely from getting in and out of the car.   It has zero impact on comfort or where your back rests.

*  And finally, there is a small rattle coming from the drivers side exhaust pipe when vehicle is stand still and idling.  Most likely an easy fix by tightening down a bracket or something on the pipe.   OTHERWISE, VEHICLE IS 100% FUNCTIONING AND RUNS STRONG!   BID WITH CONFIDENCE.   SEE MY EBAY RATING OF 100%.

Fiat Chrysler's profit boosted by Ram and Jeep in North America

Wed, Jul 31 2019

MILAN/DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler took the market by surprise by sticking to its full-year profit guidance on Wednesday after a strong performance from its Ram pickup truck in North America helped it defy an industry slowdown. Chief Executive Mike Manley, in FCA's first earnings release since a failed attempt to merge with France's Renault, also left the door open to that or other deals. "We are open to opportunity," Manley said on a call with analysts. "I have no doubt why there still would be interest in it," he added, when pressed on what it would take to revive talks with Renault. Manley declined to comment further. FCA last month abandoned its $35 billion merger offer for Renault, blaming French politics for scuttling what would have been a landmark deal to create the world's third-biggest automaker. Manley said a merger was not a must-have and Fiat Chrysler's business plan was strong. The company said it remained confident its adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) would top last year's 6.7 billion euros ($7.5 billion). Given disappointing forecasts from other automakers this earnings season, FCA's confirmation of the outlook sent Milan-listed shares in the Italian-American automaker, whose other brands include Jeep, up over 4%. A broad-based auto sales downturn has rattled the sector, forcing FCA's competitors — including Renault, Daimler and Aston Martin — to cut their sales forecasts after second-quarter results, while U.S. carmaker Ford gave a weaker-than-expected 2019 profit outlook. Japan's Nissan, a long-term partner of Renault, said it would cut 12,500 jobs by 2023 after its earnings collapsed. In the second quarter FCA's adjusted EBIT totaled 1.52 billion euros, versus analysts' expectations of 1.43 billion euros, according to a Reuters poll. FCA's U.S. shipments were down 12% in the second quarter but the group said that the successful performance of its Ram brand resulted in an enhanced share of the large pickup truck market of 27.9%, up 7 percentage points from last year. Adjusted EBIT margin in North America rose to 8.9% from 6.5% in the first quarter, thanks to strong demand for the heavy-duty Ram and the new Jeep Gladiator pickup. Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer also said FCA expected to report up to 10% margins in the region in both the third and fourth quarters.

Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
