As mentioned, this is THE Viva Las Vegas Car and we are selling it to make way for a new one. I have done my best to list as much as possible but please feel free to contact us with any further questions. Let me start by saying there is very little of this car that is 1932. I believe there is one part of the chassis that enables it to be registered as 1932. Please note that the license plates are 1932 plates and are registered to the car.
Lets start with the body. This is a fibreglass body with a steel hood. The fenders are also fibreglass. It is all painted gloss black. Please note that there are slight scuff marks on the body work but no damage. It has been on display at various events and has been photographed with thousands of people. The VIVA LAS VEGAS logo is painted on the doors. It is not a sticker or anything. The logo will still be on the car when you buy it. The interior has been reupholstered as you can see in the photos. It has a vintage style dash and all of the gauges are modern vintage looking gauges that all work. Although I would not trust the gas gauge too much. The steering wheel and column are a modern vintage look from Limeworks. Hidden under the dash and out of view are speakers for the sound system and a cigarette lighter socket. The sound system is a CD/radio that is in the trunk. It has a remote control to operate it and also has an iPhone hook up by the seat. The car has seat belts for 3. These can be tucked away out of sight for display.
The chassis is a reproduction chassis. It has a Mustang front end with disc brakes at the front. The rear end has drum brakes. Coil spring suspension all around. Tires are in good shape and have plenty of tread.
The engine is a 350 V8 with automatic transmission. The car is fast as it weighs so little. The motor does not seem to have a choke so if it has not been used for a while it takes a few turns to start it up.Once running it runs great. The motor has an automatic electric fan and an expansion tank. There is a slight oil leak from the engine.
The brakes are NOT power brakes so you need to push a bit harder than in a modern car.
As the car is light you can easily wheel spin.
The electrics in the car work well and the battery charges well. It has brake lights but NO TURN SIGNALS. Lights all work well. Dashboard lights up. There is a disconnect switch in the trunk. The trunk lid opener is behind the seat. The car comes with a cover to go over the cab but not a roof.
I am proud of my Ebay feedback rating so I am going to list here a few things that are not quite 100% on the car. Some of the interior trim needs re attaching. Passenger door latch spring needs replacing. The door still closes properly. Slight oil leak from engine. Takes a few turns to start sometimes as there is no choke. Fuel gauge not accurate. Body has some scuffs and marks on it. Personally I would like stronger brakes and considered converting to power brakes. On the steering wheel part of the black coating has peeled off. The gear indicator is not accurate but is easy to get used to.
I have listed as much as I can think of. I will welcome any inspection. If you want me to email you photos of any parts of the car I can do that also. I want you to be happy with your purchase and make sure that you are informed about everything to do with the car.
The car has a clear title and is currently registered in California. It is sold with NO WARRANTY. If you are interested, I urge you to find the time to come and look at the car before bidding. We are in Los Alamitos in California (near Long Beach). To view please PHONE 562 234 9524 or EMAIL tom@vivalasvegas.net

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
