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

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
