This is a vehicle that I had tried to auction last year for a friend. He has lowered the price and has asked me to relist it. It is an "M-110 6 cyl. 2.8 liter double overhead cam engine, carbureted Solex 4 A 1. Disc brakes, front and rear...4 owner history, confirmed, since new, always garaged. Paint original, except for cosmetic repaint to passenger side front door, result of minor injury. Ziebart ... with careless overspray on OEM muffler, rear axle mounted fuel pump, and rocker panels. All floors original, no rust in wheel wells, original trunk mat. clean underneath, tool roll, tire iron, bilstein jack, aged spare tire in place. All lights functional. Non working radio, shorted ground wire to manual antenna. A/C fan, clutch, and compressor functional, but not cooling and will require leak-down, dye test, and overhaul. Heater working, passenger side core partially seized. Very minor pitting of windshield, no rainbows or chips, excellent original Sekurit glass all around. Rubber, good for age, newer hood insulation mat, rotted trunk lid seal. Roll down window channels, tight, in need of cleaning and lubrication. Instrument cluster gauges functional except for clock. Center section of exhaust system very rusty, but intact, with no evidence of holes or noise." This information was quoted from a letter to the car owner from a gentlemen who looked at the car in Nov. 2012. The comments are entirely his own. The owner shared this letter with me as he was very impressed by the man's knowledge of the vehicle and the information needs to be attributed to him and not the owner.

Seat covers were custom made for the vehicle and are shearling, in very good condition. The provenance of the vehicle is documented. It was formerly owned by Margaret Truman, daughter of President Harry S. Truman. She was concert singer, actress, radio and TV personality and mystery writer. Born Feb. 17, 1924, died at age 83.

All of the owners manuals are present. Please contact the owner Joe at 765 730 5939 or 765 747 9888 if questions. Any work done on the car since Joe has owned it have been done at Motor Imports in Muncie, IN and all service records are available.

(I know nothing about cars except how to drive them. My apologies if pertinent information is lacking. This listing is on behalf of a friend who would be glad to answer any questions.)

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.

Merecedes-Benz EQS, Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and Subaru Forester Wilderness | Autoblog Podcast #702

Fri, Oct 29 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They've been driving some exciting new EVs, like the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and the Mercedes-Benz EQS. They also discuss driving the new Subaru Forester Wilderness, as well as the perfectly agreeable Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid. James compares four big-name off-roaders — the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner and Land Rover Defender Â— based on their ability to accommodate a big load of luggage. Next they reach into the mailbag for comments on the Genesis GV70, as well as a Spend My Money question about replacing a wrecked Subaru Ascent with another three-row SUV.
