1989 V12 Roadster All Original Garage Find ( Found In My Garage! ) Low Miles on 2040-cars
Lincolnwood, Illinois, United States
|
I bought this car in 1992 to use as a summer second car. I drove it on nice days until about 1996 when the company I worked for sent me to the east coast for " about six months". Six months turned into nearly three years of almost constant work. When I finally left them and got back to Chicago life got in the way for several more years; all the while the car was stored in a private storage facility in Chicago where it was started regularly. Then 10 years ago last month I moved it to my house/garage located right outside Chicago. It has been there ever since, raised up slightly to take the weight off the wheels and axles. It has not been started in ten years. I have been saving it as a fun car to drive again but I am moving back into the city and can no longer store it, so it has to go.
I hooked it up to my truck battery and everything works (power antenna got a little bent but works). The motor turns over with the starter but I have not tried to start it, and I will not attempt to so please don't ask.To eliminate the risk of damage I think that at the very least the gas tank and fuel injection needs to cleaned, and lubrication forced in the top end. I am selling this as a non running project vehicle with clear Illinois title in my name. Only 31,690 true miles. I believe I am the second owner and that it has never been in the snow since new. In fact I can only remember getting caught with it in the rain twice. Very clean rust-free body. The top and interior are very nice, no tears or sun fade. It has a very nice Nardi wood steering wheel. The wheels are in great shape. Pirelli P600 tires are in great shape condition-wise and hold air well, but they are past the age of use. The paint is original and looks good from 10 feet away. There are numerous light scratches all over the car from storage. Many could be removed or minimized by a good buffing, but some will remain. The chrome has some light pitting, especially the center of the front bumper and grille. I counted about six very small dings around the car. Additionally, there is a small dent in the lower right front fender panel panel right behind the front wheel, and there is a crease on that side in the lower rear panel behind the rear wheel (see pic). Lastly, it looks like the driver door lower area has been repainted; I suspect to fix a door ding. Sold as-is with absolutely no warranties or guarantees. I have done my best to accurately describe my car, Should you have any questions or need more pics feel free to ask. Please do so before bidding. If you are local I encourage you to come inspect the car in person. Cash or certified funds cleared before I release car or title. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will do my best to assist, but you must make arrangements and payment. Thanks for looking! |

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe is here, will debut on stage in LA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013When Jaguar previewed its new sportscar two years ago with the C-X16 concept, it showed a coupe form. But when the car hit production as the F-Type, it rolled out in roadster form only. Not that we're complaining, but we all knew it wouldn't be long before Coventry revealed the production coupe, and that's just what it's doing at this month's LA Auto Show.
Jaguar hasn't given us much to go on yet - just a single shot of the vehicle from above and nothing in the way of technical details - but we all know the drill. The F-Type Coupe will essentially be the same as the existing roadster, only with a fixed roof - with a large glass panel, mind you, to let plenty of light in and keep the cabin from feeling markedly more claustrophobic than the open-top version.
That ought to make it a little lighter (though not much) and a little stiffer, but otherwise we can expect more or less the same specs as the convertible. We'll have to wait until the evening of November 19 to know for sure, though, so watch this space for more.
Autocar compares new Maserati Quattroporte to Jaguar XJ
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
However, citing Maserati's desire to not just increase its sales to 50,000-per-annum by 2015, but to sell many more of its cars in China, Sutcliffe wanted to find out if the livery side of the Quattroporte could match its sport sedan side. So after taking the pilot's seat and trying out the sport settings, Sutcliffe hops in back to test out the CEO's seat.
Then he compares the Quattroporte against the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ with its supercharged V8, a sedan that's 15,000 pounds less expensive than the Maserati. It doesn't take long for him to find that one of them is a clear winner when it comes to transporting VIPs. To find out which one, enjoy the video below.
