Looking for the nicest Samurai to be found, to possibly pull behind your RV, or trek to your favorite hunting spot or fishing hole? You have found it! The Samurai can be flat towed and we have frame mounts and tow bars available for extra $$.
This Samurai has a clean, current Iowa title and has been previously titled in Georgia. We have run a Carfax that shows this SUV has never been wrecked. Rod's Auto Sales (also known as SamuraiSalvage {google to find our website--offering new and used parts for Suzuki Samurai, Sidekick and Tracker}), is offering this super nice, unique, restored Samurai for auction. This Samurai has never seen a salty road and is 100% rust free. It had no rust before the restoration. Restoration included: new white paint (look at it shine!), new front and rear bumpers and new bumper end caps, new front and rear light assemblies, new white spare tire cover, new (new style -1992-1995) grille with S emblem. One of our 100 horse, high performance engines was a major part of this restoration (this engine is our featured product on our website) with only a few break-in miles. Engine comes with a 1-year, unlimited mile warranty. This engine includes: new flat top 10:1 pistons, cylinders bored .50 mm, hi-po head with new intake and exhaust valves, 3 angle valve job, premium Victor valve seals, mid range cam shaft, new oil pump, new water pump, reground crankshaft with new main and rod bearings, new timing belt and timing belt cover, new electric choke Weber carburetor, new Pacesetter header with high flow exhaust all the way to the back, new high flow radiator, new motor mounts, rebuilt distributor (this engine package alone, goes for $5,000 at our shop). New battery. New heavy duty clutch. Rebuilt transmission with rebuilt shift lever. Rebuilt transfer case with rebuilt shift lever. New starter relay. New brakes. New wheel bearings. Emergency brake works perfectly. The front top of cab has a custom non-removable tin top roof. Rear section is a new Rally pickup style insulated top with sliding rear window. It is removable and lockable. This makes for a very unique and user friendly Samurai--(it makes for a much quieter ride in the cab). Interior has all new ABS textured black panels (see photos). Panels cover the doors, rear quarters and tailgate. Perfect dash with new cubby door. Nice comfortable seats with new seat covers. New 215x75R15 MT BFGoodrich tires on new 7" polished aluminum American Racing wheels. New center caps and lug nuts. New AM/FM/CD player with new antenna. Suzuki made many upgrade improvements for the 1988.5 Samurai which include: new improved dash, steering wheel, more compliant leaf springs with teflon inserts, a larger outboard sway bar (making this much more stable) and lower and more usable 5th gear ratio. This Samurai originally came with air conditioning--the wiring switch and the evaporator are still intact...to make functional the hoses, compressor and condenser would have to be added back by the new owner. Parts are available. Call Rod. Google SamuraiSalvage to see our Facebook photo gallery for other restorations and to see our inventory of new and used parts for your Samurai, Sidekick or Tracker. Reasonable transport quotes are available to the potential serious buyer. We can also meet buyer at the Des Moines International airport, train station or bus depot at no extra fee. Call Rod with questions at 641-751-2468. This Samurai is also available for sale on our Samurai lot, and we reserve the right to end the auction early, but once the reserve is met, it will no longer be for sale on our lot, and the high bidder of the auction will win this Samurai. This is an expensive restoration--- If you are looking for a cheap Samurai--this is not the one. |

Suzuki considering Cappuccino revival?
Tue, 13 Aug 2013It'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 Jimny displays Samurai spirit in Japanese snowstorm
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Say what you will about its smallest SUVs, but you have to hand it to Suzuki: the likes of the Samurai, Sidekick and Vitara were doing the little-sport-ute-that-could thing long before most of the rest of the industry caught on. And the formula remains relevant enough that Suzuki is still selling the same basic Samurai overseas as the Jimny.
That could be why the Samurai still has something of a cult following. Well, that and the name - which, as it turns out, may not have been such a stretch after all. A Samurai warrior, after all, was just one man - but like any other knight, he was worth more than his headcount on the battlefield. Or in this case, a Japanese snowstorm. Just watch the half-minute video below to see what we mean.
This is the facelifted Suzuki SX4 that we won't get
Tue, 05 Feb 2013The car you see above is, according to China Car Times, the facelifted Suzuki SX4 crossover. We've always had a soft spot for the SX4, so the fact that it's finally getting a significant update makes us a wee bit sad - after all, Suzuki just announced late last year that it's leaving the US market, so we'll never get this upgraded little 'ute on our shores.
Changes we can see include aggressively resculpted lighting units, interesting mold lines on the front bumper cap, redesigned air intakes and unique trim fillets on the doors.
At least we can take solace in the fact that there apparently aren't any significant alterations under the new bodywork, so our crop of used SX4s should be just as capable out on the road. In China, Suzuki's 1.6- and 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are expected to carry over to the new year, along with the current model's CVT and manual drivelines.
