This car has had much restoration work done, and it's just about finished. The car was completely dis-assembled. The body was taken off the frame, the frame was blasted and painted, and all new control arm bushings and ball joints installed. The entire body was also blasted and etch primed, then put back on the frame and all rusty metal was cut out and much new metal welded in, including floor pans, trunk pans, quarter section, trunk extensions, rear trunk area and more. The quality of the metal work is very good. When all the metal work was completed the car was sent out for finish body work and paint, and it came out real nice. The color of the car is a Ford color, paint code E4, "Vermillion Red". If you go to a Ford dealer on a bright sunny day and ask to see this color, I think you will agree it is the perfect red for this vintage car.

   Once the paint was done, it was returned to me for re-assembly, and I have just about finished.  As you can imagine, this car has had more work done and new or reconditioned parts installed than I could remember to list here, so please feel free to contact me if you have questions. 

     It has a new red and white hounds tooth interior that includes new seat covers, door panels, armrest bases, carpet, headliner, etc.  The original 283 V-8 motor and the cast iron powerglide automatic transmission were rebuilt prior to me owning the car, and they run flawlessly. The Rochester 4 barrel carb with electric choke is a nice touch. It has an aluminum radiator. Presently there is an alternator in the car, but if the new owner chooses, I will convert it back to stock with a nice generator and a brand new voltage regulator that I have and are ready to go. It has all new brake components from the dual line master cylinder to the wheel cylinders, and silicone brake fluid was used to prevent corrosion over long periods. New stock single exhaust. The power steering system was rebuilt and works perfectly. Basically, everything in this car works, right down to the windshield washers. I replaced the clock with a voltage meter.

    The car is not perfect, it has some trim pieces that could be replaced or restored, I did the best I could with what I could find here on ebay.  Also there is some new weatherstripping that has yet to be installed, but will come with the car. This car is very, very nice, and needs nothing that would prevent you from driving and enjoying it right now. I would easily put this car up against any other 1960 Impala 2 door hardtop for the money.  I can answer any questions you may have by telephone (before 8PM eastern please)          (413)-539-9769,    ask for Dave...and I encourage anyone who is interested to come and see the car.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
