I have been wanting a Skyliner for over 30 years, so when this one got listed locally I quickly bought it before checking it out thoroughly. As it turned out, it is a bigger project than I think I'm currently capable of. It is very rusty underneath and probably needs its frame replaced. I'm not an expert by any means, so I might be mistaken. However, if it doesn't need to be replaced, it definitely needs major repair. I have an available frame with a '59 wagon and was told it would interchange, but, after buying the car, have been convinced that it is not a direct interchange. As a result, I am making this car available for someone more able than I am.

The frame is rusty. The floor pans have some rust, but they are not all rusted out. The eyebrows above the headlights are rusted through. Also, the driver's door sags due to rust. I don't think the trunk floor is rusted out.

I have put a battery in it and cranked it over. It acted like it wants to run, but I haven't tinkered with it enough to get it to actually run. With a battery in it, I cannot get the top mechanism to operate. I have no idea how to test it and its various parts. I have not had the trunk lid open, so I don't know that everything is there, but from what I can see, nothing seems to be missing of its top components.

It has most, if not all, of its trim pieces, but they are all pitted. Once again, I'm not an expert so I don't know how useable everything is. It has had its left front brake shoes and such removed so the car can be rolled around. (I had no problem loading it on my trailer with a come-along.)

The interior is rough, but mostly, if not entirely, complete.

Please do your homework on shipping before bidding. I live just outside Blanding, UT 84511 which is a long way from a major shipping hub. In fact, I'm located almost the same distance from Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque and Phoenix. It is pricey and difficult to ship cars out of here, so please check into it before bidding. The buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping, but I will help load and accommodate the shipper as much as possible. I would like to have the car hauled within 2 weeks of sale, but that is negotiable -- I really don't have a good place to store it safely.

There is a $200 non-refundable deposit due through Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. The buyer and I can then make arrangements for the remainder of the payment. The total balance will need to be paid before the car will be shipped.

I have a clear Utah title to the car in my name.

For additional pictures and information, please email me through Ebay or call me at 435-459-0591.

I encourage any potential buyers to personally come and inspect the vehicle prior to bidding.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
