Originally an Arizona vehicle, this Nissan has never seen a Minnesota winter. It has 84,400 miles as of this writing. I've always kept it garaged during the cold months. Runs great with no motor or drivetrain issues. I call it a "personal responsibility" vehicle as everything is so hands on with it - manual window cranks, no power anything, wheel hubs to lock and unlock, manual transmission. It's wonderfully "trucky" and rides like a lumber wagon on newer heavy duty shocks and Firestone Destination A/T tires. The only real concession to creature comfort is the AC, which works great.

The best part about this truck though is the body. It was well worth a very thorough and very expensive paint job in 2011, at which time it also received a replacement bed since the old one had some issues. The vehicle is entirely rust free, and by that I mean no old rust damage or extra holes that have merely been repaired either. It is completely sound, including the floor pans, rocker panels, anyplace you can think of. All the paint work was done by a professional auto restoration firm in Minneapolis with the bed off and all the necessary bits and pieces removed, not just masked off. The wheels are reconditioned originals and look absolutely new. Overall a splendid old truck - it even still has its original factory tape player. Very clean and well maintained. It's just time for it to have a new home with someone who will care for it as well as I have.

Now the disclaimer: This tuck is 18 years old. It's not perfect but certainly about as nice as you're likely to find. There are going to be odd nicks, dings and scratches here and there, maybe even a couple I haven't noticed. The interior probably ought to be refreshed eventually and the exhaust is good but has likely been in place since the vehicle was new, so it might be a good idea to think about replacing that down the road too. But really that's about it as far as I can see

The pictures show everything pretty well so look at them carefully and ask any questions you have before bidding. Any sale is necessarily final.

Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, Jun 14 2015

The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.

Daimler and Nissan venture to build cars in Mexico

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Nissan and Daimler have been partnering ever closer for years, and now an unnamed source has told Reuters that the automakers have agreed to a 50-50 joint venture in Mexico that would build Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz models. Given that the rumors about just such a deal go back nearly six months and similar rumblings are years old, this arrangement has been a long time coming.
The insider tells Reuters that a memorandum of understanding was signed between them last month to build the Mercedes GLA-Class and new Infinitis at Nissan's Aguascalientes factory. The rumor didn't say when production would begin. It wouldn't be the first time the two automakers have decided to share this platform - Infiniti will build its Q30 compact on it in the UK next year.
The partnership between the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler goes back to 2010 when the companies signed an agreement to share engines, factories and platforms. Since then, products of the partnership have included the underpinnings for the next-generation Smart and Renault Twingo and shared engines among some other models.

Nissan Shows Self-Cleaning Car Coated In Nano Paint

Fri, Apr 25 2014

Washing the car is an activity like mowing the lawn that some people love and others find to be an absolute chore. For the latter group, Nissan may have an answer. Nissan is testing a nano-paint coating that could make the car wash a very infrequent place to visit. Shown on a European Note hatchback, the key is a special layer of super- hydrophobic and oleophobic material called Ultra-Ever Dry that is sprayed over the paint. It creates a protective layer between the body and environment, and it means that when dirt or water come into contact with the car, the gunk just sheets away. Nissan admits that the coating is still early in testing. The key will be if the stuff can actually last for the long term, and the company will be analyzing it over the coming months to see how it will react in different conditions. At the moment, the automaker has no plans to offer Ultra-Ever Dry as a standard feature, but it may make it available as an aftermarket addition in the future.
