Here we have a genuine, low mile one family owned survivor. I think you would call this Dresden Blue with a blue cloth interior ( that has sunfade and the dash and steering wheel have cracking ), the body has some very minor surface rust -- look at the detail photo of the wheel well -- that was all I could see, while under the hood, anything that wasn't factory painted now has a rust skin on it. The cassette AM/FM stereo was added about 10 years ago along with the 150 watt Alpine amp.The whole car was repainted to factory original color. A new replacement vinyl top was installed, and again to the original color match.

The battery is newer, the exhaust was also renewed and the brakelines also were replaced.

Miles are actual -- the 56,710 is real. I drove the car around a bit and spotted it under the tree for photos -- tried the A/C and radio and the radio plays and sound good, but the A/C will need recharged and/or repaired as it just blows warm air.

Now, please note that this car has a Clear Ohio title...but it has some history too.

IT WAS STOLEN.

THE THIEVES BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED THE VIN PLATE ( it's not there anymore )

THE CAR WAS RECOVERED

THE VIN WAS CLEARED AND RE-ISSUED BY THE STATE -- it is now tagged on the B pillar...see photo.

It will need tires as there is only 25 to 30 % tread left.

They are off brand P 195 75 R 14 92S M&S

231 V6 Auto

Drivers door needs ( just like all GM cars of this era ) a new set of pin bushings as it sags. My 80 did the same thing and it was a quick $9 fix to change out the plastic sleeves.

OK. NOW THE OFFICIAL STUFF.

I list all autos and parts "AS IS" used condition with no guarantees, wuarantees or promises. It is a used car and is not perfect and definetely NOT A MUSEUM PIECE.

I am only the listing agent and I will require a $500 paypal deposit within 48 hours after auction end and vehicle muse be paid in full within 7 days of sale end. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PAID IN FULL AND REGISTRATION HAS CHANGED OVER to the new owner, the vehicle may then be removed from the property and its legally yours to enjoy, race, modify or do what you want to it. Convert her to a V8, a roundy round or derby pace car.

You are invited to see the car and try it on for size before the auction is over -- or just email questions and I/we will try and answer all questions.

This is the only thing Monte I have to list, so please don't ask.

Nissan Leaf sells 1,553 in April, Volt climbs to 905

Fri, May 1 2015

After three months in the 500 and 600 range, sales of the Chevy Volt climbed to 905 in April. That's up for the year so far – likely due to increasing discounts – but still down 41.5 percent from April 2014. As we've been saying every time the Volt turns in less-than-exciting monthly sales numbers, we suspect a large number of potential Volt buyers are waiting for the next-gen model to arrive in the second half of 2015. While the price for that car has not yet been announced, the updated tech specs show that it will probably be worth the wait for drivers who want the latest and greatest. Over on the Nissan Leaf side of things, April sales were 1,553 units this year. That's the second-best month of the year but down from the 2,088 units sold last April. After the Leaf finally climbed to the top of the cumulative best sellers list for plug-in vehicles last month, the difference between these two leaders is now 1,824 in favor of the Leaf. Nissan says that sales were influenced by the launch of its No Charge To Charge promotion in Indianapolis and Fresno, CA. This deal gives new Leaf buyers and lessees two years of no-cost quick charging in these markets. No Charge To Charge is not available in 15 US markets for (San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta) and will expand to 10 more by the middle of this year. As we do every month, our full wrap-up of US green car sales is coming soon. For now, enjoy discussing these sales figures in the Comments below.

Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
