This is a rare 1980 Sunchaser and everything works. This is a 33 year old car that is by no means perfect. Please dont email asking if it has dings and scratches, yes it does, the paint is original and is weak. This is a fun car to drive and be different it is not a show car. That being said here is a list of everything that has been replaced on the car: New -vinyl on targa, convertible and convertible boot, tires, front rotors and pads, rear shoes, clutch master cylinder, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, spark plugs and wires, many new hoses, gaskets and vacuum lines, all new fluids and a rebuilt carburetor, A/C has been converted to R134a and is cold. Now for the bad: The power steering motor leaks a little and I have a new one but probably will not install it before selling. The paint is weak and has one small spot of surface rust that has been covered with primer(I tried to show in the picture). It has not rusted through! ( There is no rust damage anywhere on the car) Chrome trim pieces should be replaced along with some weatherstripping. The car is not completely waterproof and Im sure most never were but has no major leaks. I keep it under a cover just to be safe. Upholstery has some tears or holes, its original (tried to show the largest one in picture) and carpet is ok but not great. One speed on A/C heater fan does not work, 2 other speeds are fine. I also have a front end rebuild kit with new bushings, springs and struts that I will sell with the car. The car drives and tracks straight but I bought them on a closeout and felt it would be good to replace after 33 years. Just like most people I never found the time to do it. I bought the car to drive on weekends but new baby means no time for toys. Again the car runs and drives fine for such an old car and I drove it home 200 miles when I bought it before everything was replaced. I have the original owners manuel and 2 service manuels along with a Motor Trend magazine featuring the 1980 Sunchaser as well. The car is supposed to be original miles and was in storage for many years. My local mechanic had no reason to doubt the miles but these are only 5 digit odometers so there is no way to be sure. I have covered everything I can think of but feel free to ask a question before bidding. Winner must make arrangements to pick up vehicle within 2 weeks of end of auction. Purchase must be made in person with cash or at your bank in the Birmingham/Hoover AL area.

Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue
Wed, Oct 9 2019Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra. In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors." The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem.Â
Toyota World's Top-Selling Carmaker For Second Year
Fri, Jan 24 2014Toyota remained the top-selling automaker for a second year in a row, beating U.S. rival General Motors by some 270,000 vehicles in 2013, and set an ambitious target to sell more than 10 million vehicles this year. That would mark a milestone as no automaker has ever topped annual worldwide sales of 10 million. Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday it sold a record 9.98 million vehicles worldwide last year, up 2 percent from the previous year. The Japanese automaker has made an impressive comeback from an earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan in 2011, damaging auto suppliers and hobbling production. Toyota also outlined plans to sell 10.32 million vehicles and produce 10.43 million vehicles in 2014. General Motors Co. sold 9.71 million cars and trucks worldwide last year, outselling Volkswagen AG of Germany at 9.5 million. Toyota recaptured the global sales crown in 2012 from GM, which had been the top-selling carmaker for more than seven decades until being surpassed by Toyota in 2008. Toyota, which makes the Camry sedan, Prius hybrid and Lexus luxury models, had strong sales growth last year in overseas markets, although sales fell in long stagnant Japan. Toyota's U.S. sales totaled nearly 2.24 million vehicles, up 7 percent from the previous year. Its China sales were also strong, surging 9 percent to 917,000. Toyota remained optimistic about prospects this year for both regions, expecting sales to grow 3 percent in the U.S. to 2.3 million vehicles, while adding 20 percent in China sales to 1.1 million. The company was typically low-key about the bragging rights for being No. 1, reiterating its comments from previous years that it was merely making one car at a time to appeal to global consumers. GM has also expressed similar sentiments, but being the top seller is a key morale booster for the employees and related companies. The healthy results at the three rivals reflect the momentum of growth in the auto industry. Toyota has undergone tough times in recent years, such as a massive recall fiasco in the U.S. involving more than 14 million vehicles for sticky gas pedals, faulty floor mats, problematic brakes and many other defects, spanning several years from 2009.

Car thief caught in McDonald's drive-thru after placing order with owner
Mon, 20 May 2013If you're going to drive a stolen car in a town of roughly 77,000 people - about the same size as Scranton, Pennsylvania or Ogden, Utah - you want to be very careful about where you drive that stolen car to eat. That's the lesson Katherine York of Kennewick, Washington learned when she was arrested for being in possession of a stolen Toyota 4Runner that also happened to have a bunch of stolen clothes from JC Penney and Sears in it.
Virginia Maiden woke up Tuesday, May 14 to find her 1995 4Runner - that she thought she forgot to lock - swiped from her apartment building. At 3 PM that afternoon, while working her shift at the drive-thru at McDonald's that day, she saw her truck in line. York hadn't even gone far - the McDonald's is not even five miles from Maiden's apartment. Maiden called the police, they showed up just as York was leaving, and York made another vehicle switch, this time into a black-and-white for a trip to the Benton County jail. They don't have McDonald's there, but she won't have so far to go to eat.
