  • I bought this car at the end of January of 2013.

  • This car was in Pennsylvania before we bought it. We have copy of previous owner’s car title of this car. This Pennsylvania Department of Transportation title copy is dated 7/20/11 and it has odometer miles showing as 016182 on that date. i.e. 16,182 miles. This confirms the low mileage reading.

  • This car now has a clear/clear Oregon Vehicle Certificate of Title.

  • I believe this car has never been wrecked, including anything minor.

  • My mechanic says this car is very clean in the engine bay and the under side of the car it was very clean with no rust and little road wear. That was the first thing I had checked since the car came to us from Pennsylvania.

  • In 2013, we paid a professional auto detail shop to have the under side of this car power washed and then a preventative undercoating was applied. We decided to do this to prevent any rust from happening ………the coating that was applied provides an added barrier between the underside of the car and the road/rocks/debris, which keeps the inside of the car ride slightly quieter, too.

  • All items below were done at a professional mechanic shop with ASE certified mechanics and all work is one year guaranteed at nationwide NAPA Auto Centers.

  • 2013 - AC Convert. Evac AC system retrofit to R-134 recharge and performance test install retrofit kit as per manufacture specs.

  • 2013 - Replace Radiator Hoses – upper hose, lower hose, four new hose clamps

  • 2013 – Coolant Fluid Serv Extd Afrz – Back flush cooling system, add anti freeze to specs, pressure test system &rad cap, checked thermostat & elec fan operation.

  • 2013 – replaced battery & terminal protection pieces.

  • 2013 – I decided that now matter how much I hand washed the front bumper, that it had a dirty white look/tone that was like tea stained teeth. So I had a local auto body and paint shop take off the front bumper and factory bumper stripes off of the bumper and then had it repainted whiter shade to better match the actual color of the car's original paint. Over twenty two years the front plastic bumper over 16K miles of travel had faded and darkened a different shade of color than the car. So I had the front bumper removed, then repainted and re-striped to a more uniform color look. The front bumper (or this car) has never been wrecked or dinged. The front bumper is the only part on the car that is not the original paint. But it looks better now than before I had got it re-painted.

  • 2013 - New front license plate frame/support piece for the front license plate - we also had it painted the exact white color of front bumper.

  • 2013 – Replaced broken/worn shift cables – replaced two custom made heim joint shifter cables, drilled oem fasteners, modified and fabricated connections as needed, adjusted and performance test as required to confirm integrity of repair. Replaced 4 new clips.

  • 2013 - Brake Inspection – test drove and removed all four wheels, inspected integrity of brake fluid, inspected master cylinder for leakage, Inspected brake lines front and rear, inspected for brake leakage, investigated rear auto adjusters and adjustment.

  • 2013 – resealed shift gear

  • Car has never been smoked in. In fact, I think it still slightly has that ‘new GM car smell’ inside.

  • Car is something that the former owner represented to be in mint condition, etc….the reality truth is that this is a very nice original condition car.....but is not perfect mint condition. But very nice. Previous owner also made claim that this low mile rare car will increase in value over time. I am not sure if that is the case or not. I do know these are real hard to find like this in real good condition with such low actual miles. But what I have learned is when you do get a nice low miles car that is older, most need new tires right away and then more (see above items I have done in 2013, for example) to get the car actually functioning and operating as well a it looks and feels.

  • No windshield cracks, no dash cracks that I see. I have brought this car up a level or two from the level it was at when I got it at the 16K mileage level.

  • Have the factory floor mats.

  • I do drive the car on occasional sunny afternoons every week or two just to keep everything working and flowing well. So there may be up to a hundred or two hundred more miles added, depending on if and when it sells.

  • There are two 1992 factory Chevy Lumina Service Manuals/books in the trunk. These books from 1992, book 1 and book 2, are each a couple inches thick. These books are specific to the Chevy Z34 model and each have tons of illustrations and literally spells out every detail part of this car’s body and engine. Great for future repair shop quick reference, or for plan B reference if you/they don’t have the info electronically as plan A.

  • Original factory owner’s manual booklet from GM is in the glove box.

  • The car comes with three pairs of original sets of GM keys – ignition and doors/trunk keys.

  • All lights work, everything works as it should, down to the unused cigarette lighter.

  • Reason for selling : an unforeseen recent IRS tax bill is due for us this year, so we are selling our collector car. Absolutely hate to see it go, was hoping to keep and enjoy this for a long time. But IRS is needing our $ this year soon, so car must go up for sale to raise funds. No trades.

  • Our family has invested over $15,000 in this car in total. The $13,900 ebay 'Buy it now price' sells this car for us at a loss of a couple thousand $ when all is said and done. We'll make no profit on this eBay sale compared to the grand total $ we have invested in the car to date.

Sunday Drive: Taking a gaze into the automotive crystal ball

Sun, Oct 22 2017

Mankind has long been fascinated by the future. So it makes sense that this past week's top stories were all about cars, trucks, and SUVs that won't be hitting the market until the 2019 model year. And right at the top of the list is the Ram 1500. We've come to know Ram as the truck maker that styles its pickups with cues cribbed from big rigs, but that look has slowly evolved over time into something uniquely its own. The next Ram 1500 continues this trend, with a newly refined look that we can't wait to see in person. Up next is the 2019 Chevy Silverado. Pickup trucks have been, continue to be, and will remain the best-selling vehicles in America. And General Motors is a leader in the field, with two distinct offerings with which to entice buyers, one from the bread-and-butter Chevrolet brand and one wearing the slightly more upscale GMC badge. The Chevy looks to get LED lighting elements for 2019, which ought to keep the truck from looking dated when compared to the Ford F-150 and the previously mentioned Ram 1500. From there we move past pickup trucks and into SUVs and sedans. The 2019 Jeep Cherokee looks to get toned down a bit with its next refresh, and the '19 BMW 3 Series continues its slow evolutionary journey at the top of its aspirational sales pedestal. Finally, spy shots give way to official production reveals for the 2019 Audi A7 and Polestar 1. This pair of European luxury cars won't compete with one another – one is a rakish hatchback and the other a sports coupe – any further than for the eyeballs of our readers, but both proved popular enough to merit inclusion in our weekly roundup. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2019 Ram 1500 spotted without the classic crosshairs 2019 Chevy Silverado spied with new LED accents 2019 Jeep Cherokee reveals a much more normal face 2019 BMW 3 Series spy shots reveal production lights, new interior details 2019 Audi A7 revealed: More torque, refined styling Polestar 1 First Look | The 600 horsepower hybrid Scandinavian Green Audi BMW Chevrolet Jeep RAM Volvo Truck Hatchback SUV Future Vehicles Hybrid Luxury Performance Sedan sunday drive polestar 1

This week in EVs: Electric Jeeps, Chevy Equinox, reborn VW bus

Sun, Sep 11 2022

There's going to be tons of car news next week as the Detroit Auto Show makes its return after 48 years. OK, so the pandemic and the show's shifting calendar only made it feel like 48 years, but January 2019 was still a long time ago. As we await that wave of headlines, let's look back at the substantial week that already was, specifically in terms of the electric car news that broke. Electric Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S blaze trail to brand's EV future Jeep declared Thursday to be 4xe Day as it revealed loads of previously unknown information about its future electrification efforts. The biggest surprise was the extremely cool and 100% electric Jeep Recon. Although it looks like a Wrangler, it's absolutely not a Wrangler replacement, and is indeed quite different for reasons besides its powertrain (independent front and rear suspension, fully enclosed fenders, fixed roof). As the photos attest, though, you'll be able to remove the doors and rear-quarter windows just like a Wrangler. And again, it's electric. Expect the Recon to be one of the most eagerly anticipated new vehicles over the next couple of years. Yes, years, plural. Production will start in 2024 with reservations accepted starting early next year. Jeep Recon View 5 Photos   There was then the Wagoneer S. Despite the name, it isn't a sportier Wagoneer variant or even an electric Wagoneer. In fact, the name is temporary according to chief designer Ralph Gilles. This sleek SUV, which sure looks like Jeep's attempt at a Range Rover Vilar (not a bad thing), will apparently have a 600-horsepower electric powertrain. It too will be produced in North America starting in 2024 with reservations starting early next year. Jeep Wagoneer S View 4 Photos   There actually WILL be an electrified Wagoneer, however: the Grand Wagoneer 4xe PHEV. That's good since the Grand Wagoneer gets pretty atrocious fuel economy. Details were light regarding specs, but we did get a half-decent photo. Finally, the first of these electrified Jeeps to launch will be the Avenger. Yes, Chrysler/Stellantis is dusting off an old Dodge name for a Jeep. That Dodge in question wasn't sold in Europe, though (good for them), which is important since the Jeep Avenger will only be sold on the other side of the pond. It's mechanically based on the same platform as several French Stellantis EV SUVs, and only goes 249 miles on the far more generous European WLTP test cycle.

Is the skill of rev matching being lost to computers?

Fri, Oct 9 2015

If the ability to drive a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox is becoming a lost art, then the skill of being able to match revs on downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. The usefulness of rev matching in street driving is limited most of the time – aside from sounding cool and impressing your friends. But out on a race track or the occasional fast, windy road, its benefits are abundantly clear. While in motion, the engine speed and wheel speed of a vehicle with a manual transmission are kept in sync when the clutch is engaged (i.e. when the clutch pedal is not being pressed down). However, when changing gear, that mechanical link is severed briefly, and the synchronization between the motor and wheels is broken. When upshifting during acceleration, this isn't much of an issue, as there's typically not a huge disparity between engine speed and wheel speed as a car accelerates. Rev-matching downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. But when slowing down and downshifting – as you might do when approaching a corner at a high rate of speed – that gap of time caused by the disengagement of the clutch from the engine causes the revs to drop. Without bringing up the revs somehow to help the engine speed match the wheel speed in the gear you're about to use, you'll typically get a sudden jolt when re-engaging the clutch as physics brings everything back into sync. That jolt can be a big problem when you're moving along swiftly, causing instability or even a loss of traction, particularly in rear-wheel-drive cars. So the point of rev matching is to blip the throttle simultaneously as you downshift gears in order to bring the engine speed to a closer match with the wheel speed before you re-engage the clutch in that lower gear, in turn providing a much smoother downshift. When braking is thrown in, you get heel-toe downshifting, which involves some dexterity to use all three pedals at the same time with just two feet – clutch in, slow the car while revving, clutch out. However, even if you're aware of heel-toe technique and the basic elements of how to perform a rev match, perfecting it to the point of making it useful can be difficult.
