1966 Mustang convertible, purchased in Arizona 20 years ago. Over $ 25,000.00 in receipts ( more than $40,000.00 spent).

This car is entirely original, Floors, Frame rails, Rocker panels, Rear quarter panels etc. This is a true survivor and you can still see the original primer from the factory under the car. It was built in the San Jose Plant in California.

Nine years was spent completing the restoration: engine was rebuilt, carburetor, power steering, power brakes, distributor and the radiator. Also, new tires, brakes, exhaust, gas tank,rear shocks, tie rod ends, completely new Pony interior, completely detailed engine compartment, new Fomoco windshield, Fomoco hoses, Fomoco belts, Fomoco headlights, Autolite ignition set. All of the weatherstrip has been replaced. The convertible top is Power.

The car was repainted, stripped to bare metal and was prepped using PPG products. DP40 Epoxy primer and painted in the original color Tahoe Turquoise in basecoat/clearcoat.  The body was blocked completely straight and extremely good gap lines.

All of the chrome has been replaced or polished to a show quality standard.  The stainless was also polished. The majority of the parts used were genuine Fomoco parts.

The only items were not addressed in the restoration: project were: the transmission - due to the fact this was done approximately 20,000 miles before the car was purchased in 1994 and the convertible Top which was new at the time of purchase and did not need to be replaced. As well the differentia.d.iginal primer under the care I did not changl was not touched

The car also has air conditioning but requires R12 or conversion to 134A. The seat belts are original and should be re-webbed.

This car was driven approximately 2,000 miles in 20 yrs.

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.

Buy my Vitara, special-effects pro says in greatest commercial Suzuki never made

Mon, May 8 2017

A month ago, Eugene Romanovsky posted an advertisement to sell "my best friend," his 1996 Suzuki Vitara, also known as the Sidekick in the United States, on YouTube. The 2.1 million people who have viewed the commercial so far may not have actually considered taking the car off his hands, but every one of them has had a good laugh. The production values of the video far surpass the production values that went into the making of the car itself. Romanovsky is a special-effects artist at the creative group Gravity in Tel Aviv. For the remaining few million of you who have not yet seen the #BuyMyViara video, it would be a disservice to tell reveal what's in it. Let's just say there's not much that isn't in it. The car's book value of a couple-grand belies the fact that it is truly the most amazing vehicle ever built. It does, after all, boast 96 horsepower and a manual transmission featuring a low gear. Trust us, just watch the video. Related Video: Weird Car News Suzuki SUV Videos viral video

Suzuki recalling 200K crossovers over airbag woes

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Suzuki may not be selling any new cars in the US anymore, but there are still plenty of them on American roads. Nearly 200,000 of those will need to be taken off said roads - for a little while, at least.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for 2006-2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara SUVs and 2007-2011 SX4 crossovers due to a faulty airbag sensor. The issue apparently results from the front passenger-side floor mat causing the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to malfunction over time, so whether there's a kid or an adult in the front seat, the airbag could deploy in the event of a crash.
As a result, Suzuki Motor of America is calling in 193,936 vehicles to replace the front passenger-seat cushion assembly. That's a whole lot of cars to recall, but it comes as no big surprise. Owners can expect to be notified in October. Full details in the recall announcement below.
