Watseka, Illinois, United States

For Sale:  1995 Mustang Convertible – 3.8 Liter V6, Automatic Transmission, and an original car with original paint and a very clean interior and a new top and tires. This is a two-owner, non-smoking    family car that it used for weekends and around town errands and was previously used for college transportation. Now everyone has graduated, car gets only occasional use, so it needs a new home.  It is selling without reserve for a fair price, given upkeep etc…. Car is located in Central Illinois (zip 60970) and is an everyday driver (good mpg) with a clear, clean title and all maintenance done etc…*****

Car has 148,000 original miles and runs and drives great - pictures were taken at our local dealership  as I had the car gone over mechanically prior to listing it; required repairs and lube were done. Car has previously had its timing chain redone, head gaskets redone, intake gasket redone (typical repairs on these), new mass air flow sensor, alternator (last year), new main drive belt and the factory cassette unit was replaced with a factory Ford AM/FM stereo CD unit when the car went to college. Within the last two years we did new struts up front, shocks in the back, new convertible top (tan $2100), rack and pinion steering rack replaced (rebuilt $400) with pump flush and refill, tune up, and new injectors (rebuilt ones). Pulling it out of storage as we decided to sell it, a new set of Goodyear radial tires all around (w/alignment $830), and a new battery from the Ford dealer were installed.  Fluids and filters are up-to-date and always have been maintained.*****   

Car runs and drives great and is used off and on during good weather here in Illinois. Car needs only its headlight lens polished out as they are yellowing slightly, there is a small tear in the seat material on just the driver’s side as shown, and the floor mats were shot from use so it will need a new set. Body-wise there is no rust on the body, there is one area on the driver’s rear quarter panel (top lip) where the clear paint coat is starting to peel, but minor (paint is original on the car). The hood on the car also has some chips and some imperfections in the paint given age, but still very presentable. Top is perfect on the car (pictures shows it slightly still wet in parts given the shop’s courtesy wash). Mechanic showed me the underside of the car on the rack and it also is very presentable with minimal rust, just usual wear. Driver’s door pinstripe is also slightly worn given top down, arm on door edge driving!*****  

Car is selling on eBay with no reserve, I don’t have it for sale locally and won’t do so locally till later this Spring if it does not sell. Deposit by Paypal of $1000 within three days of sale’s end, balance to be paid by either cash at pickup or by bank wire transfer prior to coming for the car (call for bank name, bank contact, and account/routing numbers) within two weeks after depositing. I will receipt new owner for each step in the payment process. If not picking up and paying within two weeks, car can stay stored here for 30 days at no cost as long as it is fully paid for (bank wire option). After 30 days, I will be unable to return the deposit funds, however, I will return the rest of the funds. I am just looking to find a new owner for this nice car and to get some of my garage space back! Please feel free to contact me with questions, come personally or send someone to look at and try the car if needed, or contact me with any other needs. Can’t hardly buy a running/driving convertible car, with no issues or rust, for under $4000!*****

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.

Four seniors to drive around world in pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs for charity

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

Plenty of us here at Autoblog have designs for epic drives. Whether it's bouncing around the country in an old International or heading from Alaska to Chile on a bike, we like to think we have big aspirations. Or at least we did until we heard about these four gentlemen. You see, Leslie George Carvall, Alan Butler, Glyn Maher and Charles Scott are all in their 70's, and they plan to pile into a pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs and drive around the world. Sort of makes a hike across country seem like a trip down the block to the local corner store. They're calling it "The Ultimate Challenge," and they plan to undertake the journey for two reasons.
First, they want to prove that age shouldn't stand in the way of people doing what they want to do. Second, the group hopes to raise funds for the 'Heaven Can Wait I'm Busy' group, which aims to direct money toward worthy charities both in the UK and around the world. Save the Children and Oakhaven Hospice are the two currently designated charities.
The trip gets started in just three days, and you can head over to the effort's site to track their progress. The route should cover some 16,500 road miles and 10,375 sea miles. You can also catch up with the project on Facebook.

Suzuki back in MotoGP for 2015

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

It had been planned for 2014 but it's going to be 2015 instead - that's when Suzuki returns to the manufacturer ranks of MotoGP after quitting the series at the end of 2011 because of The Great Recession. When Suzuki stopped after 37 continuous years of racing, it said it intended to return three years later and it has been in talks with MotoGP's rights holder, Dorna Sports, since last year. No doubt, though, that fan anticipation of the team's return outdoes any dismay at the delay. It will join Yamaha, Honda and Ducati in the premiere league.
Its bike has already been testing in Japan and was with the official MotoGP tribe in Barcelona, Spain on Monday when Suzuki announced its return. It's said the development bike is called the XRH-1, being ridden by official tester Randy de Puniet (who currently races in MotoGP on an Aprilia-based bike with TeamAspar). and after a day of testing de Puniet got the new Suzuki to within seven-tenths of a second of the top time posted by other MotoGP teams. Davide Brivio, who once ran the Fiat-Yamaha team and has been close with Valentino Rossi, will be the team manager.
Speaking of Rossi, The Doctor is back with Fiat-Yamaha after a bad run with Ducati but is only contracted to the end of 2014. Brivio is the man who got Rossi to join Fiat-Yamaha, then got him to Ducati. Until he took the head of Suzuki's works effort, Brivio was working with Rossi's VR46 management company, heading areas like merchandising. The rumormill has already begun its work, with folks wondering if Rossi will head to Suzuki in 2015 if his second stint at Yamaha doesn't prove fruitful before then. Scroll down below for the official press release from Suzuki.
