I am selling this great-looking vintage car for my neighbor.  He has described it to me and I'll try to pass along the information in detail; also, I've taken a lot of detailed photos.  But I'll also be glad to pass along contact information so you can talk with him directly, and of course, you are encouraged to come and inspect the car in person before the end of the auction.  


As a bit of background, my neighbor is not a dealer.  He would like to keep this car - I can tell, it absolutely hurts to put it up for sale!  However, he has bills to pay, and needs to see it sold.  It's a 1971 Chevelle with 119,359 actual miles.  The car was restored 10 years ago, and purchased by a school-teacher.  She kept it garaged and took good care of it, but sold it when she changed jobs last year.  (Lots of that going around, I'm afraid...)  The car is pretty impressive: Original green-on-green (the interior's all original, the paint of course has been re-done), the chrome is all pretty decent but could stand to be buffed out a bit.  There are a couple small bubbles or under-paint rust blisters near the driver's-side wheel wells, but nothing major (see photos).  We don't think it has ever been wrecked or had any major body work.  The paint is professional and looks great!  

The motor was overhauled a year ago; the transmission is new.  The battery is brand-new; the tires are Cooper Cobra Radials and are almost new (about 95 percent).  It has disc brakes, and rally wheels with chrome beauty rings.  (Power steering, power brakes.)  The suspension has been lowered.  This is an original AC car, but the air conditioning is not currently connected - it's in the trunk, ready to be installed.  Also in the trunk is a variety of parts and pieces.  

The inside of this car will transport you back to 1971!  With the exception of the Kenwood CD player/radio, it's pretty much 100 percent original.  There is a small hole in the headliner, otherwise it's in incredibly good shape; I also saw one tiny place where an upholstery seam is separating near the bottom of the passenger seat's back (down near the floor), and there's another one above the back arm rest on that side (see photos).  Otherwise it is very, very nice.  (They don't make seats this comfortable nowadays!)  The rear door cranks aren't attached but are both there, the glovebox door needs a latch but is otherwise complete.  

Again, please examine the photos carefully, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask!  I will do my best to answer them, or will refer them to the car's owner.  We are located about 10 miles west of Bloomington, Indiana - if you wish to see the car in person, please let me know and I will help you to make arrangements.  The seller is motivated, and the reserve is reasonable, we hope this beautiful vehicle will find a new home.  I wish all prospective bidders the best of luck!

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone 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.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
