Vehicle came out of sunny California (Rancho Cucamonga). Previous owner had done an aesthetic restoration on the vehicle in the early 1990s from what I was told, and since then it has been garaged and driven occasionally. Lots of work done on it, and it's waiting for a new owner to take her to the next level and enjoy her for years/decades to come.
OPTIONS:
Manual steering
Manual drum brakes
#s Matching Inline 6 cylinder motor
3 Speed Manual Transmission (originally on column, converted to floor shift)
Two-tone color combination
Bench seat interior
Under the hood lies a virtually all stock and MATCHING NUMBERS inline 6 cylinder Chevy motor (has been upgraded to later model alternator and battery, other than that it's bone stock). Meticulously serviced throughout its life. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good without any noises or grinding. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great.
Interior was redone some years ago during the restoration and has held up fairly well through the years. Seats in good shape overall with NO rips but some discoloration in the fabric inserts. Good headliner with a couple of small water stains. Carpet is old but still presentable. Good door panels with minor wear. Dash in good shape with some chips in the paint here and there. Good steering wheel (could use different hub). Overall nicely presentable for a good driver.
GOOD CHROME throughout (front bumper is fairly nice with minor wear as is the rest of the side trim, rear bumper has some small surface rust spots here and there).
Seems to have a SOLID FRAME throughout, other than a couple of rusted side braces, which is common.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, and although it looks fairly good with plenty of shine, it has various small chips, and minor imperfections as you would expect of being nearly 20 years old. Hood could use new front rubber stoppers and minor adjustment as it's not lying perfectly flush. Small surface crack along left edge of hood. Not working: signals, wipers (I have the wiper arms/blades, just not installed), horn, clock, radio (not connected), may need a couple of bulbs replaced here and there. Missing: spare tire/jack, spacer for steering wheel hub. Window cranks need adjustment, passenger side window needs track adjustment. Brakes work fine but squeal a bit and may need servicing in near future. Could use weatherstripping, window felts and various other rubber replaced throughout. Underside has various patches on floorboards that were done amateurly and should be redone properly (floors are solid but need aesthetic attention). A couple of side frame braces are rotted and should be replaced (typical for tri-5 chevys). Trunk is carpeted throughout but from underneath it looks in decent shape overall. Exhaust needs new pipe from muffler back. Sill plates need adjustment as they hit doors a bit.
So overall she is not perfect and will need some form of TLC and tinkering depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 65 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a GREAT LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
