If you have visited the Saturn Sky Roadster forum you know me.   Liveaboard74  Been on there the whole 5 years I've owned the car.  
Bought the car out of Calif cause I really liked the look and had fun turning it up a notch. Wanted something that was fun to run out to dinner with and looked sharp, got good fuel millage and it does get 30+ mpg and easy to get around in traffic. 
 
 Dropped it off at DDM in Spartingburg SC and they installed the supercharger, stereo and heavier clutch for me.  Car had 24000 miles on it when I bought it 5 years ago and only has 35000 on it now. 
Car was fixed when I bought it and GF liked it so let her have it  and bought a Corvette.  Did some fixing up on that then we went our different ways, so I got the Sky back. 
 
Keep the vette for three years, just traded it for a 08 STS Caddy then daughter called right that change   and said she was losing her G6 so I paid the note off on that and we got her something cheaper that I paid for that had more room. .  Daddy is tapped out and she has 2 kids so the sky was way off base for her.  Needed room anyway.   

So I've ended up with three cars and a 35000 pickup truck and want a boat. !!!   LOL   
Between the vette and the caddy I got back into pro drag racing so the "SHOW Street Cars"  just won't that important any more.  The About ME on here has a couple of photos on it of the dragster and stuck a photo of the two new additions in there.  (Cars) .   

Sky is perfect. Needs nothing.
, AC will freeze you out, tires are all about new, and the Foose Rims shine like new and they are standard size.  I don't ever change the size of the tire the car is suppose to have.   
Month  after I bought the car took it to DDM in Greenville SC  and had the supercharger , clutch and stereo installed.  Pioneer stereo twin amps, twin subs, solo exhaust and tips, high flow cat, but  the car DOES NOT sound like a ricer.  I had a silencer installed after I got it home and didn't like the little to loud for me noise and it does have a wind screen.  Two actually .  One is still new, the one on it has Fountain wrote on it for Fountain Boats.  Little River Motorsports on the back window but both are stick on so easy to remove. .   
Aftermarket clutch , gauge pod on window side with boost and fuel.  Rubber SKY floor mats, leather sun visor covers, knitted center console, and a dash cover so I fixed it up nice but didn't want it busy looking.  

Payment. 
If you buy it now or I accept the offer put 300 on pay pal within 12 hours and the rest is BANK CHECK  ONLY. I will contact you right after auction ends with a phone number.  
PLEASE READ >   No personal checks, no money orders, money grams and cash works any day of the week and bank check can ONLY be for the remainder of the pay off.!!! 



Shipping. 
Three ways to do it.  
1.  You can fly in and GF or I will pick you up out  of Norfolk VA Airport and get you to the car or have the car there for you. .. No charge. 
2.  I'll drive it to you if your less than 1000 miles.  Pay the fuel, my eats, and a plane ticket home.  You own me nothing.  I'm a coast to coast car hauler so 1000 miles a day is nothing to me. I'd enjoy the ride. Might even bring the GF I'll pay her way home and expenses. .  :) 
3.   Ship it by car hauler.  I can help you set that up with someone also. 
If your over seas its all on you.  I work out of the Brunswick GA port hauling cars from there or the Norfolk port I have a pass for both of those but anywhere else its up to you to do all the planning. 


SPAMMERS>   Don't waist YOUR TIME wanting to send me a check for more than the amount of the car and me send money to someone to transport the car at a totally stupid rate.  I am a transporter and actually had something try and pull this on me.   Those guys don't give up. 

Not interested in any types of trade.   Wanting to sell the sky to buy a pontoon boat so if it rolls on tires i'm not interested.  LOL  
Thanks for taking the time to read it all.  Just wanted to let everyone know why its being sold and over 800+ feedback i'm not going to sell you something that would hurt my rating or come back on me.  
Thanks and be safe.

A chopped-up General Motors EV1 shell sold for $23,662

Tue, Apr 7 2020

Despite not having a VIN, a powertrain, a frame, or any doors, a decrepit General Motors EV1 shell recently sold for $23,662.10 on govdeals.com. Sold by the University of Cincinnati, the car — or what remains of it — is headed to an electric vehicle collection called The Beata Electric Motor Carriage Collection. Technically, the GM EV1 was the first mass-produced and purposed-built electric car in America. When it was released in 1996 for the 1997 model year, however, GM strictly leased the car as part of a "real-world engineering evaluation." The limited production run was meant to test real life with an EV and judge the interest from the public. GM only built 1,117 units, all of which were recalled, and most of them ultimately were sent to the crusher. But a select few were stripped of their powertrains and donated to universities and museums for educational purposes. One of those non-functioning cars made it to the University of Cincinnati in 2008. The post says it "has been in storage since," but it's not clear if the car sat in storage untouched or was stored and used by the university. According to EpiclyEpicEthan1, who posted the sales listing to r/cars, the car was purchased by The Beata Electric Motor Carriage Collection in Colorado. The Beata (derived from the Latin word for blessed) collection is a gathering of '90s OEM electric vehicles and a general EV hub. The website says the vehicles are used for testing, diagnostics, education, events, and overall preservation and documentation. The rare and niche collection also includes a 1993 Dodge/Chrysler TEVan, a 1997 Honda EV Plus, a 1999 Dodge/Chrysler EPIC EV, a 1998 Ford Ranger EV, a 2002 Toyota RAV4 EV LongRanger III, a Tesla Roadster, a 1998 Nissan Altra EV, a 1998 Chevrolet S-10 EV, a 2011 Nissan Leaf, and a 2012 Tesla Model S. Beata also has several other projects under construction such as the 2000 Toyota RXT-G Prototype, a 1997 RAV4 coupe EV prototype, the 1995 AC Propulsion eCivic EV, a 1995 ACP RXT-G Prototype LongRanger II, a 1995 ACP RXT-G Prototype LongRanger I, and a GM EV1. Beata acts as a resource for EV1 owners and helps place parts it finds and doesn't need. The parts it does need are put into building a working EV1. Beata's current EV1, which is 80 percent complete, is made up from more than 50 different parts sources, including from all three versions of the EV1, the 1994 LPF4 PreView "Impact" series, the 1997 EV1, and the 1999 EV1.

Guess when this car will plunge through the ice, win $1,500

Mon, Feb 18 2019

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a sad-sack Saturn raises money for charity while awaiting an icy fate. The 1998 Saturn is a bright orange beacon inviting folks to make a bet on the coming of spring. When the weather warms up enough and this Saturn sinks, someone is going to take home $1,500. It's the Iron Mountain–Kingsford Rotary Club's annual car-plunge contest, a fundraiser that takes bets on when this car will fall through the ice. The contest had been run in years past and was resurrected in 2015. In the old days, the hapless cars sank to the bottom of the lake, which is actually a flooded old iron mine. In today's more enlightened environmental era, this Saturn is attached to a cable affixed to an anchor on shore, allowing it to be yanked out of the water. It also has been drained of all fluids, degreased, and had its powertrain, battery, and radiator removed (which means it weighs about 1,800 pounds). The lake sits alongside a main highway, assuring maximum visibility for the car and the contest. But it's not only locals who are invited to take a chance; anyone 18 and over can bet via this online link. Ten dollars buys three chances. Whoever most closely guesses the date and time that the Saturn slips under the waves takes home $1,500. Betting closes March 15. The past four years have seen the car fall through on March 17, April 2, April 4, and April 26 — although, as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And remember: Bet with your head, not over it. Here's video of last year's fateful moment ...

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
