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.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Sells For One Million Dollars
Mon, Apr 14 2014NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick loves buying first-built Chevrolet models for charity. He paid $1 million to buy the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible and $650,000 to get the first 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28. Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
