I picked this up from a man in south Georgia last week. Here is what he told me: the car was driven regularly until several years ago when it was parked and not driven again. So it has been parked for several years. He told me that the engine and transmission (Powerglide) were running fine before the vehicle was parked. What I have observed is the following: upon tilting the car upwards when putting it on the tow truck old gasoline spilled out from under the gas tank area. So, the gas tank or a related part probably has a leak. The bottom of both right side doors is rusted out. So the passenger doors need to be rebuilt or replaced. There is no battery in the car. The engine compartment and spare tire/trunk area seem to be fairly clean/low on rust for such an old car. According to the man I bought it from, one of the previous owners put some type of sealant around the trunk area which seems to have kept excessive moisture from getting to the spare tire/trunk area. There are several other parts on the car which will likely have cosmetic or mechanical issues due to the age of the vehicle and the fact that it has been sitting for so long. The bottom line is this: this car needs to be completely refurbished mechanically and cosmetically or just used for parts. I have had the car less than a week and know almost nothing about its history. There is no title; I will issue you a bill of sale. The mileage is unknown. This vehicle is sold AS-IS. I can not warrant the operational or cosmetic condition of any single item on the car.
Please read this passage carefully: The total price of the car is $1500. there is an immediate deposit of $500 due via paypal in order to end the auction. After that, you will have 31 calendar days to pick up the car and pay the remaining $1000 in cash. Most sellers give 7 or 14 days. In fact, eBay doesn't even have a drop-down selection longer than 14 days for the balance to be paid in full. I am giving you 31 calendar days from the time of the deposit. If the car is not picked up in 31 days, the deposit is forfeited and will not be refunded. Let me be clear: if the car is not picked up in 31 days the deposit will be foreited in full and the car will be resold to someone else. I am not going to refund the deposit for any reason. If you have a death in the family, a major financial catastrophe or any other type of incident in your life which prevents you from paying the $1000 balance I am very sorry but it will not cause me to refund the deposit. So, please do not use Buy-it-Now and issue the $500 deposit until you are confident that you can pick up the car and pay the remaining balance of $1000 within 31 calendar days. I am sorry that the policy has to be so rigid but I have sold many cars on eBay over the years and all too often people do not follow through and I am stuck with lost time, lost opportunities and lost listing fees. So this policy is intended to make sure that doesn't happen.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada
Sat, May 9 2015Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
