 Read this first please:
* It will not pass valley emissions as currently built.
* It's a Samurai so it's small and a tight fit for two large people.
* It's a 1300 so while it's got more power than a stock Samurai it's not going anywhere fast.
* It's 25+ years old so it needs an owner who can turn wrench on occasion.

Odometer reads 53K miles (actually 153K miles). Runs very good, stronger than stock.

It has a handful of minor things that need to be taken care of to make it 100%.
*Wheel is slightly off-set, the drop pittman arm will center the wheel,  Tracks and brakes straight.
*There is an occasional oil drip - I believe from the rear main seal, I made a mistake when I installed it.
*The passenger fender wheel had rust due to a battery overflow.  It's been repaired but if I were to keep the rig I'd replace the fender eventually.
*The filler bung on the transfer case looks to have been weld repaired.  It will on occasion leak a drop of transmission fluid.
*The air-conditioning was removed, there are two holes in the passenger floorboard where the hoses used to be.
*A couple of other small things but it's a 25 year old vehicle.

Lots of extras, including take off parts, assembly tools, shop manual, many build photos, documentation, etc.

No warranties; sold as is. $500.00 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of close of the auction.  Buyer is responsible for making all arrangements to pick up the vehicle, shipping, etc.  I'll help as much as I can on my end, but ultimately the responsibility rests with the buyer.  If you can find a nicer Samurai tin top for this price I strongly recommend you buy it.

Suzuki Vitara shows its face ahead of Paris debut

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The death of Suzuki's American automotive operations can be chalked up to many, many things. One thing it cannot be blamed on, however, is the arguable goodness of its products. The company's criminally underrated offerings included the Kizashi sedan, the SX4 compact and your author's personal favorite, the Grand Vitara.
The GV rode on a radically different version of General Motors' Theta platform, which underpins the American manufacturer's current crop of crossovers, like the Chevrolet Equinox. What made the Grand Vitara special, though, was that it wasn't just another run-of-the-mill CUV. Buying the cheapest model meant living with rear-wheel drive rather than the Theta's typical front drive. Spend a bit of money, though, and you'd end up with an honest-to-goodness off-roader, sporting selectable four-wheel drive complete with low-range gearbox. It also comfortably sat five, was reasonably efficient and was quite handsome. We aren't totally sure how it turned into this.
This, of course, being the new Vitara (it replaces the Escudo, the vehicle Americans know as the Grand Vitara), and it will make its global debut at October's Paris Motor Show, which has ditched its four-wheel-drive system for a part-time all-wheel-drive system called Allgrip.

Suzuki considering Cappuccino revival?

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

It's not a secret that a few of us here at Autoblog have a crush on Japanese Kei cars. The diminutive sizes and cheeky looks of most of the segment are certainly endearing factors, but it was the sporting Kei cars of the 1990s that made for the most delicious forbidden fruit.
Suzuki's entry in that time and market space was the Cappuccino, a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a removable roof and roll bar, powered by a 657cc three-cylinder motor. The car hung around the Japanese market until 1997 (and was booted up in Gran Turismo form for years after that). Now, rumor has it that the little coupe could be getting a reboot around 2016.
The reports are still a bit short on detail; some indicate that a new Cappuccino could be built up on an existing Kei platform from Suzuki. If the new car were to keep the RWD layout of the original, however, that would mean building up the model on the live-rear-axle bones of the Suzuki Jimny or Carry.

Suzuki recalling 200K crossovers over airbag woes

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Suzuki may not be selling any new cars in the US anymore, but there are still plenty of them on American roads. Nearly 200,000 of those will need to be taken off said roads - for a little while, at least.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for 2006-2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara SUVs and 2007-2011 SX4 crossovers due to a faulty airbag sensor. The issue apparently results from the front passenger-side floor mat causing the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to malfunction over time, so whether there's a kid or an adult in the front seat, the airbag could deploy in the event of a crash.
As a result, Suzuki Motor of America is calling in 193,936 vehicles to replace the front passenger-seat cushion assembly. That's a whole lot of cars to recall, but it comes as no big surprise. Owners can expect to be notified in October. Full details in the recall announcement below.
