I bought this car in November of 2011 from an eighty year old man where it had been parked in his garage for the last ten years. The cars original color was green as seen in some of the pictures. The owner before me wanted a red car and had the paint work done (not top quality). The cars dash was sprayed black and door panels changed. Someone was in the process of removing the black paint from the dash when I bought it. This car was restored many years ago and reportedly came out of California. Point is the body work is average, not top shelf, but there is very little rust. A few spots in the trunk floor and a few bubbles behind the rear tire. Everything else is solid. Within the last year and a half I have replace the complete exhaust system, the complete brake system (master/wheel cylinders, shoes, and rubber lines), water pump and cooling system parts including a new aluminum radiator, and repaired some leaks in the power steering system. The fuel pump has been replaced and all fuel system/carb issues resolved. New distributor vacuum spark advance along with a tuneup and battery. The car has a shell of a hardtop (just the fiberglass) that could be finished out. I purchased an original soft top with swing arm. The top fabric needs to be replaced but the frame is in excellent condition. This car is a driver, starts and runs fine. I insured it and bought the license plate. I drive it whenever I can (pleasure only). It is very dependable and has earned my confidence. I'm selling because I have got to a point where the body work needs to start. I'm more mechanical than body work and have lost some interest. I also have an old chevy truck I want to finish, so its time for this one to go. I know I'm not going to make money or even get my money out of it, but I won't give it away either so there is a reserve. Please contact me with any questions. I will send additional photos as requested.

Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA
Sat, Aug 23 2014Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight."

The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China
Sat, 19 Apr 2014According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
