Honesty being the best policy, here is whats wrong:

1. Carb (holly 4 barrel) needs rebuild or replacement. That is the only thing preventing it from being driven away. Had it examined by a professional mechanic who said that based on the description of the problem, it may need nothing more than new gaskets - but YOU'LL have to figure that out on your own.  Engine was rebuilt about two years ago, and has been an old mans grocery store runner ever since, so it has low miles on a rebuild - thus the "1000 miles" on the mileage as stated above. Don't remember what the odometer says, but it HAS been driven less than 1000 since rebuild - Probably WAY less. Great engine in other words - but I don't have the paperwork or receipts on the work, and I am not mechanically savvy enough to be able to tell you much about it, so you need to use your expert mechanical skills to see the greatness of the engine. I know enough from driving it, it runs great when the carb works, and people who look at the engine seem somewhat impressed - I'm just too ignorant to know why... (honesty sucks)

2. Needs brakes. It does stop, but you can tell that it will need them soon.

3. Needs new tires soon as well. They hold air, but they are old.

4. Needs a new muffler unless you like the way it sounds. It is likely that the exhaust would need to be replaced all the way up to the exhaust manifold, and the exhaust manifold is in fact the only thing on the engine that makes the entire engine compartment look horrible. The compartment itself is nice (flat black) and clean, the engine looks great (could use a quick cleaning, especially on the chrome - in fact come to think of it, the whole car could use a wash - sorry, I'm lazy. If you want it washed, buy it and wash it yourself - you'll find its quite a pretty car). If it weren't for the exhaust manifold, it'd look friggen AWESOME. 

5. Minor leak at the top right passenger side of the windshield, probably could use new window seals all the way around though. 

Thats it. Fix those 5 things and its mechanically a new reliable car. Cosmetically, it is old paint, has a smudge here a chip there, and a couple small rust bubbles, no rust showing yet, but overall, it still shines in the sun and it still turns heads, in fact you will be lucky to not have to stop and thank people for compliments every 2 blocks. It is a GREAT looking car. Inside looks great as well. It is aged, but has newer carpet on the floor, door panels are in great shape, headliner is in great shape. The front bench seat has two large (and ugly) rips, one at each end, but the front backrest is in great condition. In the back seat, there are two small rips in the same places as the front, the the early stages of the condition of the front seat, but they are very small, and the back-backrest is in excellent condition. Found a company in California who will sell you the original style factory seat material as well as new seat foam for $500.00 but I got along fine with a big green sheet for a seat cover.  All the lights and gauges work, including an installed temp/oil/batt gauge. (temp gauge died, $25.00 fix) When the car runs, (with a muffler) its as quiet as a mouse and rides smooth as hell.  Transmission is fine by the way. 

contact through Ebay messaging or call  and I can and answer any questions. (I am on the phone a lot, so if you reach v mail leave message and I will call back.)

This is the most honest assessment of this car that I can give. It IS being sold as is, and while to the best of my knowledge the car is great. But I don't want to hear it if you buy it and a tire pops or something. It IS an old car, and things wear down, but I think with a little TLC it will run for years to come.

Should also mention, it seemed to run hot, considered installing a larger radiator, but instead installed two fans (seen in image that looks directly down on the radiator) and installed the switch on the dash.It worked great so never bothered switching to a larger radiator. They (the fans) run whether the car is on or off, which is a mixed blessing. Its great if your in a traffic jam and need a little extra wind, but if you forget to turn it off after you turn off the car, it will be happy to kill your battery - and speaking of batteries, it may need a new one. Its been sitting for a few months, and has died down. Also (just remembering) the bolt that holds the alternator on has snapped, and its being held on by a bracket over the top. It runs as is, but would strongly recommend replacing that bolt that too. I went to do it one day but bought the wrong size and never bothered again, because the carb started spraying gas out the sides (indicating possibly that all it needs is the gasket kit, but not sure) so I never bother to get a new bolt because I couldn't drive it anyway. 

Also original hubcaps and accompanying rims are in the trunk.

Chevy reveals Colorado Z71 Trail Boss Edition

Sat, Mar 7 2015

Chevrolet wants to make sure that if people are in the market for a midsize pickup, then there is a Colorado available to fit their desires. For businesses, there's the recently unveiled box delete package and for those looking for a customized look, there's the GearOn Edition. For the latest Z71 Trail Boss version, the automaker is going for folks planning to go off-road. As the name suggests, all Trail Boss versions of the Colorado start with the already off-road-inlined Z71 trim level, including its 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic, and the package can be added to practically any body variant: extended or crew cab, long or short bed and rear- or four-wheel drive. To set things apart, there's a locking rear differential, front tow hooks, darkened 17-inch wheels that are shod with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires and on the four-wheel drive models, a transfer case shield. For some extra style, the Colorado Trail Boss wears black parts for the fender flares, side steps and Bowtie badges. The bed also gets a spray-on liner and a few parts from the GearOn accessory catalog, including the tie-down rings, load bar and cargo divider. The Trail Boss goes on sale in the spring, and to add all of this equipment to a Colorado, it costs $3,320 in addition to the price of any Z71 trim model.

The Trail Boss combines the capability of Chevrolet's Z71 off-road truck suspension package with more aggressive tires and additional appearance enhancements. It is offered in extended and crew cab configurations, with a choice of a long or short cargo bed and available 4WD. The Trail Boss goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $28,505 plus the package price of $3,320. "The Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss Edition is equally at home blazing an urban trail or following one to a favorite remote campground," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager.

Chevy previews 2016 Malibu ahead of New York debut

Thu, Mar 5 2015

With everything going on in Geneva this week, it would be all-too easy to forget that there's still stuff going on back home in America. And the upcoming new Chevy Malibu is a prime example. Chevrolet has announced that it is bringing an all-new Malibu to the New York Auto Show next month, teasing us with this preview image and a few enticing details. For starters, when we say it's all new, this time we mean it's all new. The next-generation Malibu has been built on a new platform that uses more high-strength steel to cut 300 pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing model. It's also got a wheelbase that's almost four inches longer, with shorter overhangs front and rear and a roofline that tapers stylishly and more gradually towards the tail. We'll have to wait a little longer – but not too much longer – to find out more, but in the meantime you can read what Chevy's telling us so far in the press release below. Born Again: Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Announced Larger, lighter and more efficient Malibu to be unveiled at New York Auto Show 2015-03-04 DETROIT – Designed to deliver more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever, the next-generation 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will make its public debut at the New York International Auto Show this April. Using a blank slate approach, Chevrolet designers benefited from an entirely new architecture, which for Malibu includes a wheelbase nearly four inches longer than the outgoing model. That, in turn, provides increased rear legroom and interior space. Due to a higher-strength steel structure, the new Malibu is also expected to be 300 pounds lighter than the current model, which benefits the sedan's fuel economy and handling. "Malibu's gorgeous styling is the result of a masterful understanding of proportions," said Ed Welburn, General Motors' vice president of Global Design. "The roofline has been stretched rearward giving a more sleek profile, while the front wheels have moved forward and front and rear overhangs have been reduced. Along with the sculpted body side, these cues help Malibu appear more dynamic and sophisticated." More details about the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will be shared each week leading up to the vehicle's global debut. The 2016 Malibu is expected to go on sale by the end of 2015. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling around 4.8 million cars and trucks a year.
