IMAGINE YOURSELF ROLLING THROUGH SPRING AND SUMMER IN THIS FINE RIDE. WARNING: THIS IS NOT A LOW PROFILE SLEEPER. EVERY HEAD TURNS WHEN THIS BEAST CRANKS UP WITH THE BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF THE COBRA MOTOR. IT IS TASTEFULLY MODIFIED AND UPGRADED FOR FUN, DEPENDABILITY, AND INCREDIBLE DRIVABILITY. IT IS NOT A MONSTER HORSEPOWER DRAG RACER THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS IS ONE FINE MACHINE WITH LOTS OF SPORT TOURING CAPABILITY BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSIVE EFFORT TO MAKE IT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE MONEY SPENT AND THE PREPARATION TO GET THIS CAR TO THIS POINT IS HARD TO DESCRIBE. TO START IS THE EYE POPPING PAINT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FINER PAINT JOB THAT WAS NOT IN A CAR SHOW. IN FACT, THIS CAR WAS BEING PREPARED FOR THE CAR SHOW CIRCUIT AND SPENT MANY YEARS IN HEATED/COOLED GARAGE STORAGE BEING DRIVEN ONLY TO KEEP IT FUNCTIONAL. THE SUSPENSION IS TIGHT AND LOWERED JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT. TAPPING ON THE THROTTLE IN 1ST OR 2ND AND YOU GET THE BACK TIRES TO CHIRP. GIVE IT THE GAS AND IT WILL DO A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN CHIRP! THE INTERIOR IS A DELIGHT WITH ALL THE LIGHTS, BUTTONS, ACCESSORIES WORKING AND EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. POWER WINDOWS, POWER DRIVER SEAT WITH POWER LUMBAR, CRUISE CONTROL AND ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING MAKE THIS A COBRA WITH MORE THAN JUST A TOUCH OF LUXURY. THE WEATHERSTRIPPINGS ON THE DOORS ARE SO TIGHT IT IS EASIER TO LOWER THE WINDOW WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR. THAT'S A TIGHT FIT!  NO SURPRISES OR DISAPPOINTMENTS.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU BID, YOU ARE CONTRACTING TO BUY THIS CAR. NO MONEY? NO BIDDING!  THERE IS NO WARRANTY WITH THIS SALE. CAR IS SOLD AS IS FOB LONGVIEW, TX. ALL STATEMENTS MADE ARE TRUE AND CORRECT ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT TIME OF BIDDING.

THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN REGISTERED SINCE 2000 WHEN WE PURCHASED IT EARLIER THIS YEAR. WE TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO OUR TRUSTY MECHANIC WHO GAVE IT THE THOROUGH INSPECTION AND IN DEPTH PREPARATION FOR BEING DRIVEN (INVOICES TOTALED $2,100.00 FOR THIS VISIT). PULLED THE BRAND NEW WHEELS AND TIRES TO CHECK SUSPENSION AND BEARINGS. ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AND SAFETY CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED. THIS PRECAUTION WAS TAKEN WITH NOTHING FOUND OTHER THAN A ROUGH IDLE (OLD GASOLINE) AND SOME SERIOUS HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE MECHANIC FOUND THERE WERE LIGHT BULBS NEEDING REPLACED, TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, FREON WAS LOW IN A/C, ETC. AS WE LIFTED THE CAR IT WAS OBVIOUS THIS WAS NOT A LOW BUDGET RIDE. THE SUBFRAME CONNECTORS, THE EIBACH SPRINGS, THE BRAND NEW CROSS DRILLED ROTORS AND COBRA R WHEELS AND TIRES WERE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. WE PULLED THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK OFF TO CHECK THE FUEL FILTERS AND FACTORY PUMP. THE GASKETS WERE NEEDING REPLACEMENT SO WE REBUILT THE TANK AND PUT ON A BRAND NEW COBRA FUEL PUMP. 

THE BEAST THEN CAME ALIVE! THE FLOWMASTERS MADE SOUNDS THROUGH THE BBK HEADERS THAT ARE MUSIC TO A MOTORHEAD. IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS 5.0 WAS STOCK INTERNALS BECAUSE WHEN WE GOT IT DOWN AND DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST REAL TEST DRIVE WE FOUND IT PULLS LIKE A TRACTOR AND CANNOT GET TRACTION IN 1ST OR 2ND IF YOU ARE MASHING ON IT. GOOD THING THE BRAKES ARE UPGRADED.THIS THING STOPS ON A DIME WITH GREAT PEDAL FEEL AND SOME SERIOUS BRAKING POWER... WHOA BABY!

THE GEAR RATIOS ARE STOCK (IT LOAFS AT 22OO RPM AT 70MPH IN 5TH GEAR OVERDRIVE). IT GETS WELL OVER 20 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. SOME SAY THESE CARS CAN GET 25 MPG BUT I HAVEN'T CONFIRMED THAT NUMBER. THIS CAR IS WAYYYY TOO FINE FOR MY SON TO JUST BANG AROUND IN THE PARKING LOTS AT COLLEGE (SORRY ABOUT THAT SON!) SO WE ARE PUTTING IT UP FOR SALE. THE RETAIL VALUE OF THIS CAR WITH 41K MILES ACCORDING TO ONLINE ESTIMATES IS $15-17K. THE AMAZING THING IS THIS WILL MAKE ALL THE OTHER 1994-1995 COBRA'S LOOK WEAK BECAUSE OF THE ULTRA FINE PAINT JOB AND THE TASTEFUL MODIFICATIONS. 

YOU CANNOT GET QUALITY LIKE THIS FOR LESS! THIS IS THE CAR YOU'VE BEEN WAITING ON... SPRING IS HERE AND IT'S TIME TO SLIP OFF THE 7 LAYER CUSTOM CAR COVER (INCLUDED WITH THE SALE) CRANK UP THE 5.0 COBRA MOTOR, PUSH THE DOWN BUTTON FOR THE WINDOWS AND LISTEN TO THE 5.0 MAKE MUSIC WHILE YOU ROW THE GEARS. IF THAT GETS BORING YOU CAN PUSH THE POWER WINDOWS UP AND FEEL THE ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING AND LISTEN TO THE 600W SUBS GO BOOM BOOM BOOM. THIS CAR ATTRACTS MORE ATTENTION THAN CURRENT SHELBY GT500'S BECAUSE IT IS RARE, FINE AND... WELL IT'S JUST GOT THE STANCE AND SOUND THAT ONLY COMES FROM THE LEGENDARY 5.0 COBRA MOTOR. 

THE NEGATIVES: ALL OF THESE ARE MINOR ISSUES - 1. THE THROW OUT BEARING MAKES A NOISE THROUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THIS IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE FORD FACTORY NON-ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH CABLE SYSTEM ON THE 1995/5.0 ENGINE. HE SAID HE HAS TRIED REPLACING CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE AND THROWOUT BEARING ON THESE MODELS AND THE NOISE WOULD STILL BE THERE! THE CLUTCH IS FINE BUT THE MINOR NOISE IS SOMETHING I WOULD WANT TO FIX WITH AN AFTERMARKET ADJUSTABLE CABLE KIT OR MAYBE EVEN A WHOLE NEW CLUTCH WITH ADJUSTER.  2. THERE ARE TWO DOOR DINGS FROM PARKING LOTS. JUST TWO! BUT THE PAINT IS SO FINE THESE REALLY SHOW UP WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING. ONE IS 3/4 INCH AT THE CHARACTER LINE ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR JUST BEHIND THE MIRROR. THE OTHER IS 1/4 INCH ON THE PASSENGER DOOR A LITTLE FURTHER BACK. 3. IT NEEDS A NEW RUBBER GASKET ON THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL. 4. THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT HAS A BROKEN PIECE IN THE SEAT TRACK. I AM ORDERING A REPLACEMENT NOW AND IT SHOULD FIXED BY 04/20/14 UNLESS IT SELLS BEFORE THEN. 5. THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK LATCH HAS THE PLASTIC BUTTON MISSING. 6. THE STEERING WHEEL IS 1 OR 2 NOTCHES OFF CENTER. THE FRONT END MEASUREMENTS ARE ALL PERFECT AND IT DRIVES STRAIGHT AND TRUE WITH NO VIBRATIONS. 7. IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO LOUD FOR ME. I LIKE TO HEAR THE HEADERS THROUGH A MODEST MUFFLER. THE FLOWMASTERS DRONE A LITTLE AT CRUISING SPEED BUT NOT ANNOYINGLY SO. BUT IT SURE DOES MAKE AN AWESOME SOUND AT START UP AND TIPPING IN THE THROTTLE. YOU CAN EASE AROUND FAIRLY QUIETLY BUT YOU CANNOT GO UNNOTICED WHEN YOU MASH ON IT. IT'S L-O-U-D!

THE EXTERIOR OF THIS CAR IS ALMOST A 10 OUT OF 10. THE INTERIOR IS A 9 OUT OF 10. THE DRIVETRAIN IS A 9 OUT OF 10. IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT IT IS BY FAR THE BEST 1995 COBRA I HAVE EVER SEEN OR DRIVEN. THIS CAR IS ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE AND FOR SALE LOCALLY, HOWEVER, YOU CAN END THE SALE IMMEDIATELY WITH THE BUY IT NOW PRICE.

THANKS FOR READING AND GOOD LUCK ON BIDDING. CONTACT ME THROUGH EBAY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE SHIPPING. I HAVE SOME IDEAS AND ADVICE THAT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY AND TIME WHEN CHOOSING A SHIPPER.

Suzuki has to take out $45M loan just to shutter US dealers

Thu, 08 Nov 2012

Bloomberg reports American Suzuki is set to borrow up to $45 million to to close its automotive dealerships and freshen up its it motorcycle and marine business. Suzuki Motor Corporation will loan American Suzuki the funds at three percent below the London Interbank offered rate in order to offer dealer owners a cash payment in exchange for voluntarily abandoning franchise agreements. The company's 216 dealers have 10 days to make a decision on the matter. Under the plan, Suzuki would give dealer owners half of what they're owed in one lump sum, and the dealers would then be able to pursue the remaining debt through the company's bankruptcy procedure.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Scott C. Clarkson granted American Suzuki interim authority to borrow the funds, but Bloomberg reports the company will likely return to court in a few weeks to seek up to $100 million. According to Richard Pachulski, a lawyer for Suzuki America, the automaker may owe its dealers somewhere around $50 million.

2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Motorcycle trends come and go like fashion, and the latest two-wheeled style du jour is the adventure bike. Chunky and rugged, these (sometimes) dirt-ready rides often take cues from the massive, Armageddon-ready rigs you'd find on the Dakar Rally. In their most neutered form, they can start as street bikes and adapt for adventure duty by adding taller suspension setups, removable saddlebags, bigger fuel tanks, and better wind protection.
Lying smack in the middle of that dirt/road matrix (and leaning toward the tarmac side) is the 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS. A venerable fixture in the adventure scene, it developed a primarily urban following after the model bowed in 2004, though it's also proved itself worthy of tackling trails and light offroad scenarios. For automotive folks not steeped in the vagaries of the motorcycle world, the V-Strom is the two-wheeled equivalent of the late, great Mitsubishi Montero: capable, no-nonsense, and a bit of an unsung hero in the face of more glamorous offroaders like the Land Rover LR4 and the Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen.

Next Suzuki SX4 spotted again

Wed, 05 Sep 2012

Thanks to a sketch of the Suzuki S-Cross concept, we can already see the styling direction that the next-generation SX4 will take, and Suzuki is still hard at work on the production version of the car as evidenced by this latest batch of spy shots. These photos look almost identical to those captured back in July, but we see a little more detail at the rear of the car and get a better idea of the next SX4's proportions.
With the baggy camouflage lifted up at the rear of this prototype, we can see that the SX4 replacement has a very Mazda-chic look to it with downward-angled taillights that stretch into the liftgate. Aside from this, the big news is that we're finally getting a sense of the new SX4's size. Suzuki's press release attached to the Paris-bound S-Cross sketch said that the SX4 replacement would be growing to the compact segment rather than being a subcompact like the current car. Recent reports indicate that the next version of this car will be sized closer to the Grand Vitara, and in these pictures, you can definitely see how much the car has grown.
Still unknown is when we can expect to see the production version of the new SX4, or what will be inside it (available turbo power?), but hopefully Suzuki will not delay things like it did with the Kizashi and its numerous concepts.
