THIS CAR IS BEING RELISTED DUE TO NON PAYMENT FROM ANOTHER BUYER!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS CAR FOR PURCHASE, BUT BE SURE TO HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE BEFORE BIDDING  THANK YOU.

This is a true business coupe not a modified one.  It still has the original wood platform in the rear.  There is no back seat in this car, and there never was. This car was originally purchased by the Bell Telephone Co. 

The car was originally white.  These cars were completely deleted of all trim, radio, and even the rear windows didn't roll down.  This car was painted by the Bell Telephone Co a medium Green/Grey.  The Black was painted sometime in the late 1970's.  There is no rust on the car that can be found.  There is the normal surface rust here and there but no rust thru spots that i am aware of.  The glass is nice for a good driver. There are no cracks or chips and very little delamination around the edges. There is no front carpet.  It was removed because it was in bad shape.  The trunk mat and platform mat are both missing. The front seat and the door panels are in great condition. Great foam in the seat.  The back does not sag either.  Still has the original trunk insulation on the trunk lid. 

The chrome on the car is pitted but very very restorable.  The rust on the rear bumper is just surface rust. The condition of the bumpers are great.

The car has been cleaned from top to bottom.  There is very little grease and grime on the undercarriage.  Everything has been meticulously cleaned and checked. But nothing was painted, so nothing is hidden.  The paint is not perfect and should not be expected that it is.  There is very little shine on it.  The paint is very oxidized, however looks great with great PATINA!  Some paint is peeling off on roof and other small areas.  Only the black is peeling off down to the Greenish/grey paint.

The engine is original and just went thru a major tune up.  New fuel pump, carb, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, rebuild original generator, new water pump, new fuel sending unit, cleaned and sealed fuel tank, cleaned and checked radiator. Exhaust seams to be mostly original, except new donut at manifold. Car does have a slight engine oil leak coming from the front timing cover area.  Engine, Trans, and Differential all serviced.

This car Runs & Drives Beautifully.  All four drum brakes are new.  New shoes, wheel cylinders, springs, and turned drums.  New shocks too. 

There is only one spot on the car that I can find that has any Bondo.  It is a softball size dent that was covered in the right rear quarter panel. The front right fender has some paint checking, but does not seem to have any filler work in it. This car also has brand new Michelin Tires on all four corners along with original poverty hub caps.

Again this car is a running and driving car.  It has been lowered alittle back in the day.  But has a great stance and is a great driver.  You won't find a nicer car to start a restoration, or just to have a fun driver as is. Car is not currently registered, But I do have a Title.  Also have original air cleaner that will go with the car too.

Vehicle is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction early.

You can see this car to inspect it by responding thru Ebay or calling 909.894.9451.  Any other questions or pictures please call too.  This is a one of a kind find  Dont Miss Out!  Thanks Brian

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
