For Sale:  1995 Mustang Convertible – 3.8 Liter V6, Automatic Transmission, and an original car with original paint and a very clean interior and a new top and tires. This is a two-owner, non-smoking    family car that it used for weekends and around town errands and was previously used for college transportation. Now everyone has graduated, car gets only occasional use, so it needs a new home.  It is selling without reserve for a fair price, given upkeep etc…. Car is located in Central Illinois (zip 60970) and is an everyday driver (good mpg) with a clear, clean title and all maintenance done etc…*****

Car has 148,000 original miles and runs and drives great - pictures were taken at our local dealership  as I had the car gone over mechanically prior to listing it; required repairs and lube were done. Car has previously had its timing chain redone, head gaskets redone, intake gasket redone (typical repairs on these), new mass air flow sensor, alternator (last year), new main drive belt and the factory cassette unit was replaced with a factory Ford AM/FM stereo CD unit when the car went to college. Within the last two years we did new struts up front, shocks in the back, new convertible top (tan $2100), rack and pinion steering rack replaced (rebuilt $400) with pump flush and refill, tune up, and new injectors (rebuilt ones). Pulling it out of storage as we decided to sell it, a new set of Goodyear radial tires all around (w/alignment $830), and a new battery from the Ford dealer were installed.  Fluids and filters are up-to-date and always have been maintained.*****   

Car runs and drives great and is used off and on during good weather here in Illinois. Car needs only its headlight lens polished out as they are yellowing slightly, there is a small tear in the seat material on just the driver’s side as shown, and the floor mats were shot from use so it will need a new set. Body-wise there is no rust on the body, there is one area on the driver’s rear quarter panel (top lip) where the clear paint coat is starting to peel, but minor (paint is original on the car). The hood on the car also has some chips and some imperfections in the paint given age, but still very presentable. Top is perfect on the car (pictures shows it slightly still wet in parts given the shop’s courtesy wash). Mechanic showed me the underside of the car on the rack and it also is very presentable with minimal rust, just usual wear. Driver’s door pinstripe is also slightly worn given top down, arm on door edge driving!*****  

Car is selling on eBay with no reserve, I don’t have it for sale locally and won’t do so locally till later this Spring if it does not sell. Deposit by Paypal of $1000 within three days of sale’s end, balance to be paid by either cash at pickup or by bank wire transfer prior to coming for the car (call for bank name, bank contact, and account/routing numbers) within two weeks after depositing. I will receipt new owner for each step in the payment process. If not picking up and paying within two weeks, car can stay stored here for 30 days at no cost as long as it is fully paid for (bank wire option). After 30 days, I will be unable to return the deposit funds, however, I will return the rest of the funds. I am just looking to find a new owner for this nice car and to get some of my garage space back! Please feel free to contact me with questions, come personally or send someone to look at and try the car if needed, or contact me with any other needs. Can’t hardly buy a running/driving convertible car, with no issues or rust, for under $4000!*****

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker

Wed, May 22 2024

When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.

Ugly Moto makes beautiful motorcycle art [w/video]

Thu, 08 May 2014

Ugly Moto is a horrible name for a company that makes such wonderful motorcycle art. The creation of artist Francis Ooi, the company's illustrations focus on some of the iconic racing bikes of the 1960s and 1970s.
The artwork has an elegant simplicity that really makes it pop. It would fit just about anywhere from a home office to the bedroom of a young gearhead. Ooi has completed six illustrations so far covering classic cycles from Honda, Ducati, Yamaha and even Harley-Davidson. According to his site, the Suzuki RGB500 ridden by Barry Sheene will be the next one released. All of the prints are priced at $65 and are limited to 100 copies. They are all about 16.53 inches by 23.58 inches in size.
According to his website, these prints are just a hobby for Ooi and his real career is as the creative director at an ad agency. He creates the illustrations on his Mac, and he estimates that each design with about 800 components and layers takes about a month to complete. You can get idea of the process involved in the time-lapse video below.

Suzuki details 2019 Jimny engine and safety specs

Thu, Jul 5 2018

Last month, we were able to publish official images of the upcoming new generation Suzuki Jimny SUV. Now, Suzuki has released a detailed mega-gallery of the boxy 2019 Jimny and some essential information on its powertrain and safety tech. The big news is that the Jimny's introductory engine choice will be bigger than anticipated, as it will be the 1.5-liter, 100-horsepower four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 96 pound-feet of torque. For the time being, no other powertrain options are available, and there's no word yet of a hybrid variant. The offered transmissions are a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic, and 4WD mode is switchable from a separate gear lever with high and low range. Curb weight is mentioned to be as low as 2400 pounds. As for the Jimny's safety, there's now automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning combined with "Weaving Alert," and also traffic sign detection — certainly high tech for a very small SUV. But it's outside the reach of any road signage where the Jimny is designed to shine, as the image gallery shows with photos of the vehicle off-road. The Jimny's approach angle is 37 degrees, the ramp breakover angle is 28 degrees and the departure angle a nice 49 degrees. The minimum ground clearance is mentioned to be roughly 8.3 inches.
