This is a great car. This is a rust free Central Texas car that has never lived outside the county in which it was originally bought. More about that later. This car has the original 6 cylinder with factory markings still visible on the firewall. There are oil change stickers on the car that go back to the mid 1970's. The original spare is in the trunk and the original jacking instructions are still on the jack. The chrome is original and very nice for its age. There is a little delamination of the original glass, but not much. This is the MOST DEPENDABLE old car I have ever owned, and that is of a couple of dozen cars. When none of my other cars would start, including modern cars, this one would. Put a little gas in the carb if it has been sitting a while and she will start right up. Oil pressure is good and the car runs cool. This Chevy will cruise all day at 60 mph. When I bought the car almost 10 years ago it had been sitting in a barn for several years and the brakes were out. The gas tank had also been replaced, I assume to get it running. I fixed the brakes and rebuilt the Powerglide transmission and have had no problems mechanically since. It does have a small leak at the rear main, but not bad enough to pull the engine. I just add a quart every couple of thousand miles. As you can see by the mileage the car has never been driven much.
The original paint started flaking off pretty badly and so I had to repaint the car. This new paint is the original color and looks great. There are a few chips in the paint, (see photos), but it is excellent driver quality. The car had a dent at the passenger side turn indicator that I fixed and rechromed when the car was painted. I have radial tires on the car and 4 mounted WWW bias ply tires go with the car. The trunk mat is new as is the trunk cardboard. I replaced the vacuum wiper with a 6v electric wiper motor and the original vacuum wiper motor and control knob go with the car. Owner's manuals and Shop Manual go with the car. The interior is all original. There is one small hole in the front seat--see picture--as well a small hole in the rear of the front seat--see picture. There is a place just above the front seat adjustment that has torn from age. The headliner is complete and yellowed with age. The door panels are very nice and show some age spots that don't show up well on the pictures. The paint on the dash and the interior chrome is very nice as are the sun visors. The AM radio was not working when I bought the car and I had it fixed. It worked for several years and then went out again. I didn't fix it because there were no AM stations I wanted to listen to. It hums now, but that's it.
This car was originally bought in Belton Texas by an elderly couple and sold out of their estate in the early 1970's. This elderly couple had bought the car with only 2 options on it: the Powerglide transmission and the cheaper radio (it has no push buttons). The car changed hands 3 times through 2 owners who never transferred title and then was sold to a Viet Nam fighter pilot veteran in a town 10 miles away. Shortly after buying the car, this gentleman had a heart attack and his kids forbade him from driving again so he put it in a barn where it sat for over a decade. He eventually sold the car to a fellow who did not transfer title. I was the next owner. Of the 4 prior owners, I have spoken to 2 of them as well as descendants of the original owners.
This is a fabulous car to get into the hobby. There is next to nothing to do to the car except drive and enjoy, and it will get you there. It is DEPENDABLE!!
Good luck bidding and remember: An old car is just that--it is not new. There are no warranties expressed or implied. I will be more than happy to answer any questions, but I will be in the wilds of the trans-Pecos area of Texas over the Labor Day holiday. No telephone coverage, no internet! The middle of nowhere! I'll be back Monday evening and will answer all questions then.

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
