Preserved And Babied - First Year Of Last Generation on 2040-cars
New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
|
The TA has 84K miles, LT1 350 & auto trans and is a Louisiana car with no rust. . It has 17" Corvette rims with new tires but I have only 2 of the original rims (They are in perfect condition). It has a later model Ram Air hood - a friend has the original hood for me in storage. The car can be all original with little effort. Their is no work done to the engine and it has always used synthetic oil since it was new. It does not burn or leak any oil, no smoke, no stalling, no high idle, no tranny slipping, no hidden issues here. Their are no rips in the seats and the dash is not cracked. This car has been babied its entire life and that shows all over.
It has SLP sub frame connectors and a strut tower brace, a K&N cold air intake, improved OptiSpark, and that's all for aftermarket parts. NEW: All four shocks are Monroe Sensa-Track All four tires New Battery AC compressor AC Orifice tube AC receiver/ drier New Optispark and MSD vented cap W/weep drain away from unit New water pump New thermostat Headlight motor rebuild New electronic air pump Driver side window motor New alternator Power steering pump New tune up - Plugs and wires New high flow cat converter Recent transmission fluid change at 70K Recent rear end fluid change at 70K Recent synthetic oil change at 84K Needs: The paint under the spoiler is faded a little, and there is some small paint chips here and there - standard stuff. Paint is 9 out of 10. The passenger side ground effect is cracked and needs to be replaced A small quarter sized dent above the rear passenger wheel (pictured) It comes with a California car cover, thick shop manual, original owners manual & CD, window sticker, and 2 working key sets with fobs. I also have the Carfax from a few months ago. I'll be very sad with this car gone since I feel it's the one that I should just hold on to, but we do need a house. That being said - $5,500 is firm...I'll turn you down at $5499. Email with any questions. I'm happy to work with you on getting it shipped, or I'd even be willing to meet you somewhere within reasonable driving distance. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
