Vehicle Detail

What a find! A Montana Blue 1993 Allante with the Northstar. Of all the roughly 21,000 Allantes ever built, there were only 151 made in this beautiful Montana Blue. Add the optional factory navy blue top and the $2,000 optional chrome wheels that were only offered on the 1993 and you have a collector's collector car. Only 111,000 miles and you can see this beauty was only driven around 5,000 per year! Now here is a great story. I bought this car with the thought it was either going to be a great summer/golf/beach car or a daily work car…or both…or a project make money car. Well I have been told we are buying a house, and all "fun" cash is being called into the mother ship…so off to ebay we go. This car has sat and been neglected for a good deal of time. Let's talk about what is good. This month I drove this car from St. Louis to Cleveland, Cleveland to Columbus and back, and all around town for 2,100 miles this month. Let me tell you about the St. Louis trip. At 75 MPH on I-70 with the top up and the air conditioning blowing cold, this is one great ride. Throw in a torrential monsoon outside Indianapolis, and the nearly new tires held their own, the rear defrost works flawlessly, the top is whisper quiet and bone dry. In short, great freeway warrior. Step hard on the brakes and the anti-lock is perfect and there is no vibration or pulling whatsoever. What works? Where do I start. Cruise control, automatic temperature control, power windows and seats including lumbar support both sides, top pull down motors front and back, trunk pull down, stereo (don't know about CD) dash and interior lights, wipers and washers, including headlight washers. I changed the oil before and after the St. Louis trip and no signs of any problem. No discolor, no coolant, no odor. This car does not smoke, leak or overheat. It runs a little rough because it needs a tune up. What's wrong? After 2,000 miles the check engine light just came on, and the A/C now says it needs a charge. The car is getting 18 mpg so it probably needs a tune up. Still roars though. A normal person would replace the muffler, but it actually has a very nice ruble. I think the car was left out in the sun in Florida for its first 12 years because the clear coat is burned on the hood and trunk. No dents, dings or body work. The dash is also burned, but not warped. It will need to be dyed, or you can use the pretty blue cover that comes with the car. The dam on the front bumper apparently hit a curb and needs some tlc, but the body on the car, including the paint, is spectacular. Simply no rust or damage. The color is a show stopper. People are coming up to me in shopping center lots to ask about this car. Now for the interior. As you can see, the Florida sun was not very charitable to that beautiful leather. I honestly believe the original owner was a golfer or a sailor and just left the top down 24/7. It shows on the factory top, which I don't think was ever up, and which has a few stains but no tears, no wear, nearly flawless. If I was keeping the car, I would patch the leather for $300 but if you want a true classic you'll need to replace the leather. This car even has the add-on windscreen. You actually can drive with the top down at 70 and talk on the phone, it is that quiet. Bottom line is the car is a genuine fun daily summer driver as it sits, or it is a diamond in the rough. Put $3-5000 into this car and it will be a genuine $15,000 1993 Northstar Montana Blue Allante. Me? I gotta go buy a house. Send me some money and I will send you this Allante. Check out my ratings on ebay. No reserve. High bidder buys the car. This is not my first Allante sale. (I love these cars). And I have 100% happy buyers. Questions? Give me a call. 440 897 1286On Jun-23-14 at 06:08:11 PDT, seller added the following information: LATE NOTE: Coming home from golf yesterday the engine started to miss and the code traction disabled showed up on the DIC.. So I want to be doing full disclosure here. The engine is going to need some work before the blue beauty is ready for any more cross country trips! I still believe it is worth in the $4,000 to $5,000 range as she sits. Love this car, but it needs a new loving home.
