CONDITION:


This Cruiser is in very good condition and runs good but could use a little TLC. Let me get the worst out of the way before the best! 
  • One of the break lines i changed needs to be double crimped at the end. I used an old single crimper, so the system leaks off every two months or so (an easy fix).
  • There is a dent in the front right fender (both fenders are new however and have only 5000 miles on them).
  • I removed the old headliner so the inside roof isn't so pretty, in fact the whole top needs to be restored. Its condition is very usable but to finish off this cruiser the top and doors must be gone over.
  • The front doors are in terrible condition (the normal bottom section). I obtained a set of older doors w/wing windows several years ago and planned to swap them out, just never found the time. The older doors are not in excellent condition but are in good condition and come with the cruiser.    
  • Trans. the original 1st gear has worn a bit and will pop out under extra pressure. I have an extra Trans and transfer case that I know to be solid, it also comes with the cruiser.
  • Cracks in the original dash.
On to better stuff
  • It has 5 new tires that are awesome tires (Goodyear Duratrac)
  • New Power steering pump
  • New Starter
  • Stainless Steel dual Exhaust back to the rear axal (new turbo mufflers).
  • New Carburetor (Edelbrock Performance series 500CFM 4 barrel)
  • New MSD high performance ignition/distributor
  • Rebuilt high output alternator (170 amps)
  • Link-arc Dual batt. system designed for a under the hood welding system (welder not included).
  • Winch; WARN M8274 with 150' of great cable.
  • Aluminum tub from British Columbia, Canada (nice thick Alum) that WILL NEVER RUST !!!!!  
  • New polyurethane bushings and pins with grease fittings (some installed & some waiting to be installed).
  • Heavy Duty Rancho springs/shocks
  • Newly reupholstered front seats
  • New Centerforce heavy duty clutch plate.
  • New Voodoo Cam
  • Engin is a rebuilt Chevy 307 small block (1970) 200 HP with 5000 miles on it  (so cheap and easy to work on, no computers, no pollution control just the mere mechanical basics)
  • 4wd works great! High and Low range.
  • New gas tank
  • Stainless Steal bolts used throughout the body.

Tons of Extras come 
with it.
  • Front doors with wings (Needs some glass and weatherstripping)
  • Trans/transfer case
  • Heavy front brush guard (not currently attached)
  • Large roof rack
  • Extra wheel
  • Nice Bikini top
  • Extra jump seats for the back
  • Extra rear heater
  • military rifle rack in back
  • Upper and Lower Sideband CB radio with Leniered
  • Tachometer   
  • Boxes of small extra parts (too many to list)
HISTORY:

I bought this Cruiser in Fairfield, Ohio in 1989 and it has been my long standing friend since then. I did leave the country for a few years and transfured the title to my father for a short time incase something happened to me but it is in my name currently and has been in my possession since 1989. I am the 3rd owner (excluding my father) and it has always been in the Greater Cincinnati area since it was bought new. The second owner was a young lady that became pregnant and was afraid it would be to rough a ride for the baby thus sold it to me. I met the first owner when he recognized it one day shortly after I had bought it. It has always been a great vehical and a daily driver up until last year when I got a very badly needed small truck. I don't have anywhere to store my old friend and cannot afford the extra vehicle right now. I am half heartedly selling it in hopes that someone else will take care of her and enjoy her for many more years like i have.

eBay find of the day: Ed Begley's Toyota RAV4 EV

Fri, Jun 6 2014

You might know Ed Begley, Jr. from his Emmy-nominated role on St. Elsewhere or as one of the dead drummers in This Is Spinal Tap, his appearances on Arrested Development, Six Feet Under, and Battlestar Galactica, his reality show Living With Ed or from his years as an environmental activist (or, better yet, from previous coverage of him on AutoblogGreen). Ed Begley, Jr. has been advocating on behalf of our planet for several decades now, and the man walks the walk, too. He has done loads of work with environmental organizations. He's got his own line of environmentally friendly cleaning products. Begley is even in a long-standing rivalry with his friend Bill Nye (yes, The Science Guy) to have the lowest carbon footprint. Since 2002, he's been driving the drive as well. That's when he purchased a Toyota RAV4 EV, which is now up for auction on eBay. This car has 119,000 miles on it, but it had its battery replaced in early 2011, and it should have another seven years or so left in it. It's white with a charcoal interior, and has a little bit of cosmetic wear and tear, the normal sort of stuff for a vehicle with over 100,000 miles on it. It was in one accident back in 2003, but doesn't show any other issues. All service history is available from the dealer that sold it in the first place and maintained it since. Additionally, this RAV4 EV comes with a White Clean Air Decal, which allows the driver use of the HOV lane in California. Mr. Begley will even autograph the inside of the hood if you want him to, but it's doubtful the car comes with a Cinco-Fone. The buyer will also get to meet Begley is person and get some photos. Back in 2002, the car sold for $42,000. The current bid is $4,650 with six days to go, and the reserve has not yet been met. Check out the auction for more details.

Recharge Wrap-up: Q50 Hybrid video, Iran's biodiesel weed

Mon, Aug 10 2015

A new video from Infiniti showcases the Q50 Hybrid's kinetic energy recovery technology, borrowed from Formula One. The video details what is going on inside both the Q50 Hybrid and the racecar when it gathers energy to store for later use, offering better performance than an internal combustion engine alone. In the Q50 Hybrid, that electric energy helps the car accelerate from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. The video also serves to highlight the relationship between racing innovation and performance and efficiency improvements in production vehicles. See the video above. The 2015 Toyota Prius C has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The compact hybrid, updated for the 2015 model year, has been upgraded from a "poor" to "acceptable" rating in the small overlap crash test, placing it on the Top Safety Pick list. Beginning in the 2016 model year, cars will have to score a "good" rating on the test to make the list, which means further improvements will be necessary if Toyota wants the Prius C to maintain its safety status with the IIHS.

John and Lisa Brichetto's Northington Energy LLC received a state loan to produce biodiesel in 2011, but the facility never started production and was later foreclosed upon. In addition to the $142,215 the Brichettos defrauded from Tennessee, the state also invested in utilities and roads, while the US Department of Agriculture also paid for site improvements. Read more from the Times Free Press. Researchers in Iran have developed a way to make biodiesel from a weed. Scientists at the Islamic Azad University have created two liters of biomass for biofuel from flixweed. Flixweed, also called herb-Sophia and tansy mustard, is a non-edible weed that grows in various climates with little to no effort. It was found to contain 22 percent oil and fatty acids, and the biomass contains oxygenated chemical components. "This issue is important because the atomic oxygen in the fuel of a car directly cuts exhaust and the dangerous carbon monoxide and cancerous particles suspended in air," says Mehdi Alami, a chemistry graduate working on the project.

Trucks, SUVs drive U.S. October new vehicle sales

Wed, Nov 1 2017

DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. new vehicle sales in October on Wednesday, though America's love affair with high-margin pickup trucks and SUVs remained in full bloom as larger, pricier vehicles fared better than passenger cars. Auto industry publication WardsAuto put the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for light vehicle sales in October at a robust level of 18 million units. But after a long boom cycle, carmakers are still ill-prepared for the slight decline in sales anticipated for full-year 2017 and have taken too few steps to trim production, said Doug Mehl, a partner in consultancy A.T. Kearney's automotive practice. "When you make a new vehicle, you have volume assumptions tagged to it, and who wants to be the guy who says, 'I'm going to make less of this really cool model'?" Mehl said. "But eventually the market is the reality, and it's going to force companies one way or other here." General Motors GM reported a sales drop of 2.2 percent for the month, with consumer sales down 6.6 percent. But sales of high-margin pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers all rose. GM also cut its inventory of unsold vehicles — a source of concern for the market — slightly. The automaker has worked to reduce its volume of excess inventory, including through significant production shutdowns in the third quarter. GM had said its inventory would rise in October. "We are heading into the fourth quarter with good momentum, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and very strong pickup and crossover sales," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president for U.S. sales operations. GM slightly reduced consumer discounts as a percentage of average transaction prices to 13.5 percent, from 13.7 percent in the third quarter. Industry experts believe consumer discounts above 10 percent of the average transaction price are unhealthy as they erode resale values and are unsustainable in the long term. Consultants J.D. Power and LMC said last week that based on preliminary October sales numbers, discounts have exceeded 10 percent in 15 of the past 16 months. Ford The U.S. auto industry posted record sales of 17.55 million vehicles in 2016. New sales received a strong boost in September as consumers replaced vehicles damaged in southeast Texas by Hurricane Harvey the previous month. Full-year 2017 sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2016.
