 Hello, Thanks for looking at my auction. This four door 150 sedan is an excellent candidate for a restoration.  This was put in dry storage in Burlington, Kansas back in 79 due to a blown head gasket. The head was removed and discarded by the original owner. I have disassembled the car for the most part, bagged and tagged every part. The body is off the frame and has little rust except the floor pan and floor braces. This seems like it is a lower mileage car due to the soundness of tie rod ends, u-joints, door strikers, bearings, brakes, etc. I cannot be sure though and cannot guarantee the odometer hasn't been around a few times! The trunk pan is in decent with no holes but there is one spot that got some pitting due condensation drip from the deck lid seal. The deck lid is rusted out on the underside where the weather stripping contacted it. It seems to me that this may have been due to dust build up from the barn it was in and then temperature changes causing trapped moisture. There are some dents on the top that will need to be massaged out when you take out the headliner. All interior parts are present, ( garnish moldings have been bead blasted and are pretty much ready for paint). The bodywork has been started on the doors, hood, and fenders.  Sorry that I have no pictures of the front clip, but the fenders and hood are in good shape. They have been sprayed with self etching primer and the doors have had some skim coats of  filler applied in some necessary areas (not rust related) and then urethane primer over that and then blocked and some scratch filler applied. The body work will need finishing by the buyer.   The drive train seems very sound aside from the motor, ( I have another good 235 that will be included). The windshield also has bullseye crack in it in front of rear view mirror. The stuff on the roof in the pictures are mud dauber nests. These pictures were taken when I bought the car and then disassembled. This can be a great car for the right person with talent and patience,(and money for a new floor pan!). I have nice Bellaire hubcaps to with this and a nice grill bar as well. This is very complete, I think the only thing it is missing is the bowtie emblem that goes in the grill bar. Though this has the original parts many will need replaced due to neglect. The title for this was lost and it will come with a Kansas Bill of Sale, a new Kansas title is easily obtained by the buyer due to age of car.  Please feel free to ask questions, I encourage you to ask questions! This is a no reserve auction and will sell to the high bidder. If you have a feedback rating of less than ten please contact me prior to bidding. This is pickup only. I can put the body back on the frame, air up tires and hang the doors to make this easier to transport at buyers request. Thanks for looking.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.
