Welcome and thanks for visiting my auction!

This is a no reserve auction

This Allante has a clean and clear title. It does run and drive, good brakes, good set of matching tires and a near new convertible top. All the glass is good along with the dashboard and door panels, carpet is in great shape, all the lights works, gauges except the radio, power antenna and A/C, but needs charging.

The body panels line up nice, but does have some surface rust on both rear quarters and a minor ding on the pass. side quarter. All the lenses are in good shape with no fading, paint looks great as well as the bumpers. has the chrome rims, but again has minor surface rust on the outside lip, no curb rash at all. I did replace the power antenna relay, this is a common problem for killing a good battery overnight. Since the radio doesn't play the antenna relay is always on. With the new battery installed there isn't any starting problems. It does come with a matching hard top.

The brakes, steering and ride is very nice. Has NO LEAKS anywhere!! Engine sounds good, but does need a tune up and minor exhaust work. The exhaust is complete, but loose somewhere. Transmission shifts great and smooth. 

A lot of new parts have been installed on this car from the previous owner and myself. I don't have any receipts showing the previous work. I do have the owners manual and purchased a used information center for the car.

Here are a few things the car still needs...
Soft top pull down latch
Radio, antenna repaired/ replaced
Drivers seat side bolster repaired along with power seat trim
Headliner has 2 small holes, which will need replacing sometime.
Exhaust, tune up

Overall this is a beautiful machine with a beautiful color scheme. Won't take much to make this "minor drivable project" a fine ride. basically everything is cosmetic, not mechanical. 

I have just over $2900.00 in this car, but I know I will never get that back. Thank you.

GM winding down Chevrolet brand in Europe

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

If you've taken even a cursory look at GM's European strategy and wondered how it can target the market there with both Chevrolet and Opel/Vauxhall, you're not alone. In fact General Motors itself has found it difficult to justify the two-pronged approach. That's why it's essentially pulling Chevy from the European marketplace.
Instead of trying to ply European buyers with what are mostly former Daewoo products rebadged as Chevys, GM will now let Opel (or Vauxhall in the UK) represent its mass-market aspirations. Chevrolet will keep its presence in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and will continue selling certain niche products in Eastern and Western Europe. The Corvette, for example, has long been sold in Europe through Cadillac dealerships, which for its part is currently "finalizing plans for expanding in the European market".
While the shift in strategy is expected to help GM get a stronger foothold in the European market in the long run, in the short term the restructuring will cost it dearly: between $700 million and $1 billion, according to its own estimates, split between the last quarter of this year and the first half of the next.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
