I am the second owner of this car. I purchased it back in 1992 with 53,000 miles on it. Since then I've tried to keep it as original as possible. The only modifications I made were mainly to the dash. Back in 1992 I replaced the "Idiot Lights" with gauges, cut the dash to accept a newer style radio and installed speakers in the doors. Otherwise everything is basically the way it came from the factory. This is a numbers matching car. The body has minor body dents/dings. The body solid with no rust-through under the car or around the wheelwells (Factory undercoated). Original paint has minor defects and has touchups in a few areas. The car starts, runs and drives good. Tires have plenty of tread but show some signs of age.
When I took the car out of storage in April, I decided to install new springs in order to restore the ride height. That led to me replacing a lot of parts since I was under there anyway. It's not that they were necessarily bad, just that they were 40 years old. Some of the things I ran across were things like; the U-Joints had the factory plastic retainers and the Ball Joints had the factory rivets(I took Pictures). That confirms a low mileage car. Here's a list of the parts I replaced (5/13, 64,000);
Front Bumper Fillers, New Radiator, Battery Tray, Belts, Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses, Auto Trans lines, Valve Cover Gaskets, Oil Pan Gasket, Upper and Lower Control Arm bushings, Upper and lower Ball Joints, Steering Stabilizer, Front Sway Bar Links, Front and Rear Shocks, Front and Rear Springs, Power Brake Booster and Master Cylinder, Front Calipers and Rear Wheel Cylinders, Front Brake Pads and Rear Brake Shoes, All Brake Lines and Hoses Replaced, Trans Mount, U-Joints, Vinyl Top.
Notice to potential Buyers; It's important that you understand that this car has conventional ignition and a carburetor. You should have a good understanding of point gap/dwell/timing,carburetor adjustments and their operation. For example; you need to step on the gas pedal once before starting the car. This sets the choke and pumps a shot gas into the carb. There is no computer to take care of these things for you.
Deposit of $500.00 via PayPal is required within 24HRS of action close. Balance due within 7days of action close. Buyer is responsible for pickup of vehicle and any shipping costs. Any questions about the car you can email me at M421milo@Gmail.com

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
