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.

Details about next-gen Toyota Prius emerge
Tue, 28 Jan 2014The Toyota Prius is undeniably the king of the hybrid market in the United States, with a 39.4 percent market share in 2013. With the next-generation Prius likely to go on sale in 2015, Toyota is trying to build an even more efficient hybrid to keep its control of the market.
Keeping cost down will be one of the major concerns of the new Prius. The next generation will ride on the new, modular Toyota New Global Architecture platform. The lighter underpinnings will improve efficiency and will reduce production costs by allowing for more shared components among vehicles. Toyota will not reveal how many vehicles will use the new platform. But even with the cheaper platform, price will remain a concern. Toyota is still deciding whether all versions of the next Prius will use lithium-ion batteries or whether some models will stick with the heavier nickel-metal hydride batteries to keep cost down.
Of course, the reason most people buy the Prius is because of its great fuel efficiency. Toyota will aim for at least an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy in the next Prius, which would increase it to 58 miles per gallon city and 52 mpg highway.
Toyota begins shipping Le Yaris to America
Fri, 17 May 2013Our tiniest Toyota (Scion iQ notwithstanding) is about to get a little French flair. The Japanese automaker announced Thursday that its Toyota Motor Manufacturing France facility would begin building Yaris models destined for North America - specifically, the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. This will mark the first time in history that Toyota has exported vehicles to North America from Europe.
Initially, Toyota will export roughly 25,000 Yaris models to North American markets from France each year. In order to handle this additional production, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France has invested 10 million euro into its French facility.
Despite being somewhat of a snooze-fest (it's a car!), the Yaris carries on in North America with a 106-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with prices starting at $14,370 for the three-door and $15,395 for the five-door, not including $795 for destination.
