The engine is a 350 CID V8 with a single 2 barrel carburetor. It is equipped with power steering, power brakes and factory air conditioning (not working since I've owned it). All original except for repaint by previous owner from yellow to red. Original emission and cooling stickers, trim tag with factory rivets. Engine compartment has superficial rust around brake unit and steering box and inside front of hood is showing superficial rust. Chassis is lightly rusted in some areas consistent with age and mileage of vehicle. However, all areas are structurally sound. Brakes are front disc and rear drum. Tires are good, mounted on factory steel painted rims with center hubs and trim rings. Minor oil residue. Shocks are new and exhaust is good. The wipers work but the windshield washer pump is not currently functioning. 

Interior is all original except for driver seat back, which was re-upholstered by prior owner (? reason) done in a similar but not original black fabric. I have the fabric. Dash, carpets, gauges pedals and dash pad are in great condition. Headliner was replaced. Door panels and handles are in good condition. There is a small tear between front bench seats, under back rest, which is not readily visable. The rear deck is not original. The original cracked with speaker installation. The stereo installer replaced with a carpet covered wood panel to support the aftermarket speakers. Radio is AM/FM cassette with power booster/amplifier in trunk.   I do have the original AM push button radio. 

Trunk is in very good condition with correct spatter paint; solid with no rust. Exterior paint was reconditioned. There is signs of superficial rusting along the edge of the vinyl top and under the vinyl top. The vinyl top and all stainless trim are in good condition. There are blemishes to the paint in various areas. The body is all steel and in excellent condition with no evidence of body filler with magnet test. Bumpers show superficial rust beginning. Front bumper has "metallic" patch in center put on by prior owner where rust was beginning. No corrosion. All chrome is original and with light pitting. Grill and emblems are good. Lights and lenses are clear. No pitting or chips to any glass. Water test shows no leaks. 

Overall, this is an original vehicle with great patina and worthy of total restoration as the engine compartment and chassis can be easily restored to showroom condition. I unfortunately, do not have the time for that and am willing to part with her as is.  Car is currently registered, inspected and insured as an antique.        

Aside from the pictures I have here, I have additional pictures in a link that I can provide to you. Please contact me for those. 

Please ask all questions prior to bidding. All sales are final.  Car is being sold as seen, as is. Transportation cost is the responsibility of the buyer.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
