I recently purchased this car from an inpound yard in Utah. It has a clean title and the tags are good until the end of this month. The body was was very straight with very minor normal wear and tear. I had a good production quality paint job on it and have done nothing else. It starts every time and runs fine. The transmission shifts perfectly with no visible leaks. Could probably use a tune up if you were going to drive it a long distance, but certainly runs fine now.
It does require premium gas with octane booster and lead substitute to run well. I drive it around town here and get thumbs up from everyone who sees it.
Other known problems, minor as they are, are as follws. I do not have a key for the doors. It would appear the ignition switch has been changed, although it looks original. Original radio is in-op, probably a fuse. I am missing the chrome piece that surrounds the front grill. I am desperately searching for it and it will be included if I find one. Anyone out there have one they are willing to sell me? The trunk lock was punched and needs to be opened with a screwdriver. Light damage to the fiberglass behind the finger hole to get to the lock. Fairly simple repair. Absolutely not visibale from the outside unless you open the finger hole access for the trunk lock. Left side reflector below taillights is cracked and taped. However, I do have a good replacement in the trunk as can be seen in the pictures.
All payments are due within 7 days, or item will be re-listed and non-paying bidder report will be filed.
All payments are by certified check, wire transfer or in cash at time of pick-up. All funds must clear my bank before car will be released.
Non-refundable $500 Deposit Required through Pay Pal within 24 hours of auction end. Balance is due withing 7 days of auction closing. Failure to do so will result in vehicle being re-listed and negative feedback being left.
I WILL HELP WITH SHIPPING AND FINDING YOU A CARRIER AT YOUR COST IF NECESSARY.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME, BUT IT WILL TAKE ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR YOUR PAYMENT TO CLEAR MY BANK.
Please do not insult my granddaughter Alexis by asking if she comes with the deal, SHE ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT.

Aluminum lightweighting does, in fact, save fuel
Mon, Apr 14 2014When the best-selling US truck sheds the equivalent weight of three football fullbacks by shifting to aluminum, folks start paying attention. Oak Ridge National Laboratory took a closer look at whether the reduced fuel consumption from a lighter aluminum body makes up for the fact that producing aluminum is far more energy intensive than steel. And the results of the study are pretty encouraging. In a nutshell, the energy needed to produce a vehicle's raw materials accounts for about 10 percent of a typical vehicle's carbon footprint during its total lifecycle, and that number is up from six percent because of advancements in fuel economy (fuel use is down to about 68 percent of total emissions from about 75 percent). Still, even with that higher material-extraction share, the fuel-efficiency gains from aluminum compared to steel will offset the additional vehicle-extraction energy in just 12,000 miles of driving, according to the study. That means that, from an environmental standpoint, aluminum vehicles are playing with the house's money after just one year on the road. Aluminum-sheet construction got topical real quickly earlier this year when Ford said the 2015 F-150 pickup truck would go to a 93-percent aluminum body construction. In addition to aluminum being less corrosive than steel, that change caused the F-150 to shed 700 pounds from its curb weight. And it looks like the Explorer and Expedition SUVs may go on an aluminum diet next. Take a look at SAE International's synopsis of the Oak Ridge Lab's study below. Life Cycle Energy and Environmental Assessment of Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle Design Advanced lightweight materials are increasingly being incorporated into new vehicle designs by automakers to enhance performance and assist in complying with increasing requirements of corporate average fuel economy standards. To assess the primary energy and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) implications of vehicle designs utilizing these materials, this study examines the potential life cycle impacts of two lightweight material alternative vehicle designs, i.e., steel and aluminum of a typical passenger vehicle operated today in North America. LCA for three common alternative lightweight vehicle designs are evaluated: current production ("Baseline"), an advanced high strength steel and aluminum design ("LWSV"), and an aluminum-intensive design (AIV).
Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
