Here is a very straight southern car with original paint and absolutely no rust...NONE! I am third owner. It drives and handles like a new car and can be trusted to go anywhere. It's been kept inside since new and looks to have been pampered. It has the original paint that isn't perfect by any means but hey, it is original. All of the emblems look good with no pitting or oxidation. Front and rear bumpers are straight but the rear bumper could use a plating job. All of the wheel covers are original to the car and look nice. Also, the fender skirts are straight and solid. The seats are original with no tears and the stitching is tight. Springs in the seats are firm also with no sag. I replaced door panels only because the driver side had a very small tear. The carpet had very minimal fading but I replaced it, also. The dash is so soft that you can squeeze it without it cracking.....seats are just as soft. The wood grain on the dash is perfect! The windows (tinted) go up and down like a new car. I sent the tilt column off and had it redone with new wiring, bearings, etc. Also, I sent the AM/FM radio off and had it cleaned and tuned......it works GREAT! The front and rear speakers are new with the factory option front and rear speaker control on front dash. Door, window, and truck seals are new. I removed all hard and flexible air duct from under the dash and cleaned it. The flexible duct under the dash was not hard and dry rotted like most cars, reaffirming what I was told about it being a garage kept car. The original carpet, dash and seats imply the same.

As far as mechanical, the car is near perfect. The original motor was gone through from top to bottom 4500 miles ago. I put a new carburator on the car so I could send the original off to be rebuilt.......both will go with the car. The transmission shifts perfect with the kick down working properly. It has new A/C that blows cold and the climate control works properly. Also, it has a new radiator, new heater core, new starter, new belts and hoses, new wheel cylinders, new brakes, new shocks and springs, new front end, and new Cooper tires (including spare). The hidden headlights work perfectly and open and close evenly with no sagging. All the gauges work except the fuel gauge seems to not be working properly.....probably the float assembly in the tank.

I have spared no expense to get this car mechanically sound in every way. With attention to paint, rear bumper, and fuel gauge, this car will be very near perfect. Another car that I've had my eye on for a long time is available and that's the reason for my selling. My reserve is well below what has been spent on the car. Please call me with any and all questions. If I don't answer, leave a message. 662-719-3307 Thanks for looking!

What's driving the spike in air-cooled Porsche 911 prices

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Classic car prices have been racing skyward in general, but prices for air-cooled (pre-1999) Porsche 911s are ascending like they're strapped to rocket boosters. It's been going on for years, and every year people are surprised by how outrageous it's getting: Classic Driver covered it this month, as did The Truth About Cars who included this example of a "scruffy" 1993 RS America with 215,000 miles asking $80K; Mike Spinelli at Drive riffed on it at length last year along with a host of classic-car-market observers; Porsche forums were at it two years ago; and let's not even get into the 993 Turbo, going for prices so high you have to lie down to look at them. Speed Academy has run a piece looking at why it's happening, one theory being that regular-guy owners are hopping on the runaway-price wagon without any good reason. As in the example of that high-mileage, scruffy 911 RS America at Bring a Trailer, the owner sees pristine examples valued by Hagerty at $170,000, and even though the average value is $93,238 he thinks something like, "Mine's got to be worth half of top dollar ..." The tide - even one rising on air - makes it hard to find decent prices. Then there is the flood of money into the market. In spite of articles that try to temper investors' outlooks on collectible cars, other articles in places like the Financial Times and the Guardian promote vintage metal as a safe place to put money and reap astonishing returns. Speed Academy thinks one side effect of high 911 prices is that responsible enthusiasts are turning their attention to cars like the BMW 2002, E30 M3, and E9 3.0CS, saying their prices are "sharply on the rise." The entire article is worth a read since it goes into markets far afield from pricey German steel, but incredibly, the entire piece was actually inspired by a 1997 Acura Integra R that sold for $43,000 on eBay. So while this could be the best time to get into the classic car market if you know what you're doing, it is certainly the best time to do your homework. Related Video:

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
