This car is an easy restore and excellent investment. It will need tires, repainting, oiling of hinges, etc., eventually a new windshield (recently bb'd by a drive by miscreant but while the pellet struck low and causes no vision problems eventually you will want to replace it. Frame solid, rust almost non-existent with a few bubbles under the paint, mostly along the rockers. Plan on a brake shoe replacement from so long sitting and a new battery. Probably a muffler system too and maybe a new set of keys. But we're going thru piles of keys from former cars over the years and a good chance we'll find the right ones. Mostly plan on tinkering and elbow grease; few parts other then those mentioned and nothing of major expense that we can see or anticipate. Why pay a 'restorer' to send his kids to college when you and a friend or two can do the work yourself in your own garage. Even if you put $2,000 in it including paint, windshield, etc., put your pencil to paper look at the value you'll have compared to the resale value! At least $10,000+ on the current market. Car is complete except one wheel cover is missing. Has original 12-volt electric from the factory. Standard a/m radio and heating. No major dings or scratches. Windows rull up and down easily. Interior shows no major wear. Glass has standard factory tints. Alll lguages worked fine when last driven. No accidents. The week before I purchased it it had been driven in cross country from the west coast area U.S. to Michigan where it is now. Last started when driven into storage. Radiator kept full with anti-freeze and no leaking. Keep that in mind when you restart her. There is a proper way to do that which is safe and easy, costs about $10 and takes about 3-4 days. But the payback is a sound engine with no damage or smoking. Have used this proceedure many times on cars, trucks, farm tractors and other infrequently used motors over the last 40+ years and it has never once failed. Selling low because of failing eyesight to the point where I don't drive regular anymore except on very bright days and then only in familiar areas. Tempus Fugit. Being sold as-is, where-is with no warranties but confidence that what I am telling you here about his car is how it is. Sale is final. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required received via USPS money order within five days of sale. Balance also by USPS money order to be forwarded within 10 days of sale and before car is removed. You can ask any additional questions which will receive a quick reply. Recommend and invite you to come and examine the car personally or send your own mechanic or friend in the area to look the car over for you including any additional pictures The CV is currently in a locked storage area with a low monthly rental. We will cover the storage rate for the balance of the month (12th day) after which you can remove the car or leave it there at the same low rate while you make your hauling arrangements. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Buyer will be responsible for all loading/hauling expenses and any insurances you might want. . We will check & confirm the mileage, vehicle & title numbers and whether we have the right keys for ignition, doors and glove compartment and advise accordingly or just try to change the listing. Thanks

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
