up for sale is a well maintained $50,000 sports car with just under 200K miles on it.

drivetrain: when I bought this the oil cooler was leaking into the oil, so the previous owner had it parked for a few years in dry storage. I had this fixed, compression checked and motor gone through with all fluids changed at 196k and everything checked out. Compression numbers were not written down, but was well above levels requiring rebuild. It has been running mobile 1 full synthetic 0-40 for at least the last 40k miles. The timing belt was changed at 160k, was what I was told; there is no paperwork to substantiate this. according to the dash instruments, oil pressure is typically at 4 of 5 when under any sort of load. drops to 2-3 at idle. Big brake kit, with stiff suspension system. I think one of the previous owners had track prepped it...

bottom line: it pulls hard, doesn't smoke at all. I had it over 100 mph one time and was surprised just how much the car calmed down.

Interior: there are cracks in the dash, the center console is a little rickety but intact. The sunroof motor runs well, the gears were changed a month ago, but unfortunately there is a slight bend in the drive cable which causes it to hang up: taking the sunroof off requires removing the screws holding the gears in place (boo!). the headliner has been torn around the sunroof latches and to access the hatch. The hatch has been rebuilt. the passenger recarro seat could use some refastening/clips as it is "coat-tailing" on the back of the seat! kenwood stereo, CD with auxiliary input. Stock speakers still work fine, one cuts out occasionally. rear wiper turns itself on when you round corners, otherwise doesn't respond so I have it unplugged.

Exterior: midnight blue paint, some oxidation on the roof. there was a bit on the hood as well, so carbon fiber vinyl was placed to help hold it over until paint time comes. One of the previous owners put tacky red stripes on the passenger fender, which were oxidized and showing through to the blue paint, so I had these vinyled with the orange as shown. personally, I think it should be consistent color, but was concerned that if I had these removed that it would cause a worse problem. that said, I'm sure there's people out there that would like it this way. factory wing is paint matched. body is straight, no bumps or paint nicks noted to bumpers. some body work has been done, but done well (I can't tell what they did and I have a discerning eye). front driving lights cracked but still functional. headlights work well.

wheels/tires: SSR racing 18" 3 piece wheels with sumitomo HTRZ III, front 235/40ZR18, rear 275/35ZR18. Rear tires have about 300 miles on them, front indeterminant, but plenty of tread left. cost: 400/wheel, 160 per tire. 3 of the stock rims are also available for an extra $200 (one was stolen out of the garage!), tires are almost new.

local pickup only. I reserve the right to end the auction early due to other listings.

Five cursed and haunted cars

Fri, Oct 31 2014

Any kid lucky enough to grow up in Detroit is familiar with the Henry Ford Museum. It's huge, full of shiny things and a great place to take a child and let them burn off some energy. After several field trips and weekend outings however, the dusty concept vehicles and famous aircraft tend to lose their punch for youngsters. As a fifth grader, I was already gazing on the museum's many gems with glassy eyes. On yet another school trip, we made our way to John F. Kennedy's death car, a gleaming black Lincoln limo. The aging volunteer docent told our little group something I had never heard before. "You know, this car is haunted. Several employees have reported seeing a gray presence right here," he said, pointing to the back passenger side seat. I perked up. Now here was something I had never heard before. A haunted car? Sure, it happened in Goosebumps, but this was real life. It made sense, in a way. Cars can be violent, emotional places. That's certainly the case with JFK's limo, as well as the other four cars on this list. And maybe those gut-wrenching deaths can permanently doom a car. 5. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's Graf & Stift Death Limo World War I tends to be a forgotten war, despite being pretty terrible in its own right and setting the stage for the entire 20th Century. The French forces, for instance, lost more lives in the first month of WWI than the US did in the entire Civil War. Everyone who has been through a freshman world history course knows the conflict started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were shot by a Bosnian anarchist. The crazy thing is, Ferdinand had already avoided an attempt on his life that day, and was actually on his way to the hospital to comfort those who had been injured in the crossfire. One of the would-be assassins simply walked out of a cafe and saw his intended target sitting in front of him where the open-air limo had stalled. The archduke and his wife were shot through their heads and throats. Their deaths would not be the last caused by the limo. Throughout the war and into the 1920s, the limo was owned by fifteen different people and involved in six accidents and thirteen deaths, not counting the 17 million or so killed in the war triggered by the Archduke's assassination. The first person to own the car after the Archduke was an Austrian general named Potiorek, who went insane while riding in the car through Vienna.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
