This car was sold to the original owner by Jordan Chevrolet in 1972, located, at that time, in Timmonsville, SC. The dealership is no longer in business. The original owner had bought the car while living in Darlington, SC. She passed away without heirs or a will and her entire estate went up for auction in February 2005. I went to the auction in hopes that this car would worthy of bidding on, and I was right. I bought the car at the auction as the highest bidder. I drove the car home without any problems. It showed 10K miles on the odometer, and I'm sure it had turned over one time. But, I bought the car because it was in fantastic condition, had no signs of rust or having ever been wrecked, and it was whole and all there. As soon as I got the car home, I began a 2 year restoration. Since I've owned it, I've driven it 30K miles. So, it currently shows 40K miles, which is more than likely 140K miles. I started a restoration on the car begining with the drive train and running gear. The engine was professionally rebuilt by one of the top engine building machine shops in South Carolina. The dished 8.5 compression pistons were replaced with forged flat top 9.5 pistons, the cylinders were cleaned up, and all new bearings were replaced on the bottom end. The heads were freshened up with all new stainless steel valves, new springs, and, I've installed a Competition 270 Magnum Camshaft. It idles with a nice lope and it is crisp and responsive without hesitation or stumbling. The TurboHydramatic Three speed was professionally rebuilt and a new torque converter was installed. The entire front and rear suspension was rebuilt. A new 2 1/4 inch aluminized true dual exhaust system was installed with factory style low restriction high flow mufflers and factory chrome tips. The car rides on 15X8 inch Corvette Rallys and P235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial Tires. The engine breathes through a GM Performance Parts cast iron Z/28 high rise intake and a 1970 Corvette 350 C.I. 350 HP Quardajet 4 barrel carburetor. It has a Pertronix electronic ignition unit in the factory distributor and the engine puts out a true 300 horsepower at the flywheel. The interior was redone in factory style and the carpeting was replaced. The factory installed AM radio is still in the dash and still works. All front sheet metal was replaced including new inner and outer fenders, a new domed  hood, and a new trunk lid was installed. Both front and rear bumpers are new and most trim and molding has been replaced. All that is left to be done to the car should I keep it is to replace the sweep dash with an SS style dash, install a new sound system, and repair the factory air conditioning system. It is a numbers matching car and was repainted the factory color - Mojave Gold. I am selling the car because I feel I have reached the point with the money invested that I will not be able to get it back should in spend any more, and would like to take on a new investment. It rides very nicely and has won numerous awards at car shows. It gets a lot of attention and has been a joy to own. It runs on pump gas and sound very powerful. I have a true $25,000 in the car with what I paid for it and will negotiate a price close to that amount. Contact me @ 706-231-6380 to arrange viewing and bidding on the car.

Best pickup trucks for 2023

Wed, Mar 29 2023

In 2023, it seems like there’s a pickup truck for everyone. This wasnÂ’t always the case, as it wasnÂ’t until fairly recently that the midsize truck segment started becoming competitive again, and even more recently that weÂ’ve got choices for economical compact trucks or cleaner electric pickups. As the diversity of choices continues to grow, so does the potential customer base for vehicles with an open bed. Whether youÂ’re looking for something luxurious to drive in style, an absolute workhorse to tow the heaviest of loads, something small and practical, or a dune-blasting monster, youÂ’ve got options. Whatever it is you need it to do, here are what we think are the best pickup trucks for 2023. Before we start really categorizing these trucks, let's go over the scores our editors have given the best-selling pickup trucks in America. Best Full-Size Pickup Trucks for 2023: 2023 Ram 1500: 9.0 2023 Ford F-150: 8.5 2023 GMC Sierra: 8.0 2023 Chevrolet Silverado: 7.5 2023 Toyota Tundra: 7.0 2023 Nissan Titan: 5.5 Best Midsize Pickup Trucks for 2023: 2023 Ford Ranger: 8.0 2023 Honda Ridgeline: 8.0 2023 Jeep Gladiator: 8.0 2023 Nissan Frontier: 7.5 2023 Toyota Tacoma: 7.0 It's worth noting that the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon were redesigned for 2023, and we like them quite a bit. We haven't yet been able to pass them around to all of our editors in order to give them official rankings, but we're certain they'll come out at or near the top. Now, remember what we said at the outset about there being a pickup truck for every buyer? Let's break it down.   Best luxury truck: Ram 1500 Limited With an exceptionally comfortable interior with high-quality materials, excellent fit and finish, plenty of space, useful technology and a wealth of convenience features, this is the cabin in which weÂ’d want to spend the most time. We especially like touches like the ventilated reclining back seat, clever storage and 12-inch vertically oriented touchscreen. All the American trucks can be ultra-luxurious, though. What really seals the deal for Ram is its choice of either coil spring or air spring rear suspension that provide unmatched ride quality, no matter which you choose. The 1500 Limited will truly keep you feeling kingly on those long hauls. Read our review of the Ram 1500.   Best truck for cowboys: Ford F-150 King Ranch (Honorable mention: Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn) Need a truck to match those new cowboy boots and shiny belt buckle?

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla P85D upgrades coming soon, lease a Chevy Volt for $149 a month

Wed, Dec 31 2014

CarCharging has raised $6 million from shareholders and has restructured to save cash. The EV charging company plans to expand further in 2015 - with an eye toward achieving profitability - in part by investing in technology and "unlocking the value of our significant equipment inventory," says CarCharging CEO Michael D. Farkas. The group expects to reduce administrative costs by 40 percent, and has hired an interim Chief Financial Officer to help carry out its plans for growth. CarCharging raised the cash through offering convertible preferred stock to its shareholders, whom Farkas thanked "for their passion and patience." Read more in the press release below. Rydell Chevrolet in Los Angeles is offering Chevrolet Volt leases for $149 per month. In a video ad, Rydell offers the Volt for $169 a month with $3,390 due at signing, but another ad shows the offer at $149 a month with $3,550 down or $248 per month with $0 down. Rydell Chevrolet will ship the car anywhere in the lower 48 states. It also appears they offer cupcakes. See Rydell's video below, or read more at Inside EVs. Tesla will upgrade the Model S P85D with higher performance and top speed. The free update, which is due "in the next few months" according to a statement from Tesla, will raise the electronically limited top speed from 130 to 155 miles per hour. "Additionally, an over-the-air firmware upgrade to the power electronics will improve P85D performance at high speed above what anyone outside Tesla has experienced to date," Tesla says. The update will be available for the lifetime of the car, which includes subsequent owners. Read more at Green Car Reports.

Dodge Challenger outsold Mustang, Camaro in third quarter of 2019

Fri, Oct 4 2019

The Dodge Challenger is nearly old enough to start driver's ed in some states, and it doesn't have a firm grasp on the increasingly crucial concept of downsizing, yet it beat the odds to become the most popular American two-door model during the third quarter of 2019. Its ballooning sales figures suggest buyers don't always want the latest, most advanced car they can get their hands on. Dodge sold 18,031 examples of the Challenger during the third quarter of 2019, a shocking 21% increase over the same period in 2018. It's a true muscle car, normally sardined in the same can as the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang, a pair of smaller, nimbler two-doors that are much closer to the historic definition of a pony car. Semantics aside, the Mustang finished on the second spot of the sales podium with 16,823 sales, a 12.3% drop compared to the third quarter of 2018, and the Camaro took third with 12,275 sales, a 15% dip that alarmingly comes in the wake of two redesigns. More specific sales figures aren't available. We don't know what percentage of the sales mix V8s represent, or whether buyers prefer manual or automatic transmissions. The scoreboard looks different when we examine 2019's year-to-date figures. The Mustang takes first place with 55,365 sales, followed by the Challenger at 46,699, and the Camaro at 36,791. While the Challenger's recent ascent is encouraging, it can't mask the fact that two-door models no longer enjoy a favorable tailwind, and the entire segment — not just the American entries — is declining. The aforementioned year-to-date figures are down by 10.1, 11, and 7.6 percent, respectively. The third-quarter statistics revealed a handful of other surprises unrelated to the world of performance. Dodge notably sold three examples of the Dart, a sedan it hasn't built since 2016. That's a 93% drop compared to the 45 units that found a home during the third quarter of 2018.
