      Hello, my name is Terry Maxwell the owner of terryscars. I personally have served the car buying public for over 30 years. Most of my career I managed a new car dealership. I am now semi-retired and sell most of my vehicles on eBay. I am licensed and bonded, bid with confidence. I own a small independent pre-owned car dealership. I am the only employee. I started buying and selling on eBay over 7 years ago. I have been an avid Harley rider for over 25 years and try to buy and sell them when ever I get a chance.

      The majority of my vehicles come from new car dealer trades . My dealership is located in Troutman NC just minutes from Statesville NC. Take I 77 to exit 42 , turn left and go 0.4 mile. We are located on the left 820 S Main St Troutman NC 28166. Look for the US boat propeller sign, we share the parking lot.

      All of the great feedback I have is for vehicles sold. (I have another account that buys and sells other items) The majority of my vehicles are sold with NO RESERVE !!!

      GUARANTEE 100% SATISFACTION : I will refund all your money if vehicle is not as described or you are not pleased in any way when you arrive for delivery. If vehicle is shipped and not as described I will refund full purchase price (buyer pays for all shipping of vehicle, must call within 2 days of delivery and have been driving less than 100 miles).

      I personally drive all vehicles and check them out before listing them on eBay. I drive motorcycles around my neighborhood and I drive all cars at least 20 miles to get the fluids warm. I then check all electrical items, A/C, brakes. etc. I park the vehicles and let them sit 45 minutes and check for any fluid leaks on the ground. If anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course I am only human and these are mechanical creatures

      All vehicles are on retail display . I may or may not have hand books, floor mats, and additional keys. I generally do, if not I can obtain them at a minimal cost. I try to give the most accurate description I can. Do not assume anything not listed is included. If you are not sure about something, please ASK.

      A large number of the vehicles listed are recent trades that are being sold at great prices and will not be detailed or serviced by me. Please plan on servicing and detailing the vehicle when you get it home.

      Pre Owned vehicles are sold AS-IS. Pre Owned vehicles are subject to certain wear and tear both cosmetically and mechanically.

      Please review terms of sale for tax, tag and $299 Document Handling Fee information. This fee helps cover my expense in listing and selling vehicles as well as the paper work involved. This fee applies to all buyers including other dealers. A free 30 day temporary tag will also be provided.

      Any questions please contact me. My cell phone is 704 902 9258.

      Buyers are responsible for pickup or shipping. If you wish to use a transport service I will gladly cooperate. I offer free Airport pick up at Charlotte NC (CLT) for buyers flying in. Please make arrangements at least 48 hours in advance of your arrival and call before you finalize your flight.

      Please call with the time and date you wish to pickup your vehicle. I am never in the office. I will meet you there by appointment. Normal pickup times are Mon-Thur 9-5 and Fri 9-3, but I will try to accommodate all buyers. Sorry closed every Saturday, Sunday and all Holidays. THANKS FOR LOOKING !!!!!!!!!!! and good luck bidding

      Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII

      Fri, 17 May 2013

      Now With More EcoBoost
      There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
      For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.

      UK's Loughborough University improving Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine

      Wed, May 21 2014

      How much does it cost for college students to study zero emissions vehicles? At Loughborough University in the UK, a new Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is being built at a cost of a billion pounds ($1.7 billion US). The school has just announce that it will fund a number of grad student positions and is creating a new Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, which sounds like a fun job to us. We're weird like that. There will be a total of four professor-type positions in the new Center, including the chair, all focused on teaching students about low-carbon vehicle technologies, specifically electric and hybrid ones. The school is investing 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million) for the new positions. There is a bigger picture as well, a 26-million pound ($44 million) Advanced Combustion Turbocharged Integrated Variable-valvetrain Engine (ACTIVE) project, which uses funds not only from the school but also from Ford and others. The point of ACTIVE is to study Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine and "improve further its efficiency and ensure it exceeds 2020 emission regulations." This is already a popular engine for the automaker, and it will need to stay at the bleeding edge of efficiency to remain as important in 2020 as it is today. Loughborough University has been working with automakers on advanced energy technologies for years, for example with Rolls-Royce and fuel cells in 2007 and the Lotus Hotfire engine in 2008. University invests GBP1.5M in advanced propulsion research to advance zero emissions vehicles challenge Loughborough University is investing GBP1.5M over five years in strategic research appointments, inspired by the global challenge to develop the new advanced propulsion technologies required for the move to zero emission vehicles. These appointments reinforce the University's world-class research in low-carbon vehicle technologies, adding new dimensions concerned with electric and hybrid drives. Four appointments will be made, including a Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, supported by a number of PhD studentships. The GBP1.5M investment is part of the University's commitment to the recently announced Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) to support the development of new supply chains for low carbon vehicles. APC is an initiative established by the Automotive Council that will see GBP1 billion of investment from government and industry over the next 10 years.

      Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

      Tue, 21 Oct 2014

      Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
      Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
      Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.
