Here we have a genuine, low mile one family owned survivor. I think you would call this Dresden Blue with a blue cloth interior ( that has sunfade and the dash and steering wheel have cracking ), the body has some very minor surface rust -- look at the detail photo of the wheel well -- that was all I could see, while under the hood, anything that wasn't factory painted now has a rust skin on it. The cassette AM/FM stereo was added about 10 years ago along with the 150 watt Alpine amp.The whole car was repainted to factory original color. A new replacement vinyl top was installed, and again to the original color match.

The battery is newer, the exhaust was also renewed and the brakelines also were replaced.

Miles are actual -- the 56,710 is real. I drove the car around a bit and spotted it under the tree for photos -- tried the A/C and radio and the radio plays and sound good, but the A/C will need recharged and/or repaired as it just blows warm air.

Now, please note that this car has a Clear Ohio title...but it has some history too.

IT WAS STOLEN.

THE THIEVES BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED THE VIN PLATE ( it's not there anymore )

THE CAR WAS RECOVERED

THE VIN WAS CLEARED AND RE-ISSUED BY THE STATE -- it is now tagged on the B pillar...see photo.

It will need tires as there is only 25 to 30 % tread left.

They are off brand P 195 75 R 14 92S M&S

231 V6 Auto

Drivers door needs ( just like all GM cars of this era ) a new set of pin bushings as it sags. My 80 did the same thing and it was a quick $9 fix to change out the plastic sleeves.

OK. NOW THE OFFICIAL STUFF.

I list all autos and parts "AS IS" used condition with no guarantees, wuarantees or promises. It is a used car and is not perfect and definetely NOT A MUSEUM PIECE.

I am only the listing agent and I will require a $500 paypal deposit within 48 hours after auction end and vehicle muse be paid in full within 7 days of sale end. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PAID IN FULL AND REGISTRATION HAS CHANGED OVER to the new owner, the vehicle may then be removed from the property and its legally yours to enjoy, race, modify or do what you want to it. Convert her to a V8, a roundy round or derby pace car.

You are invited to see the car and try it on for size before the auction is over -- or just email questions and I/we will try and answer all questions.

This is the only thing Monte I have to list, so please don't ask.

CA Chevy dealer allegedly adds $50K 'market value adjustment' to 2015 Z06

Fri, Jan 9 2015

It seems to happen with every eagerly anticipated new car – dealerships, recognizing that crushing demand far outstrips the initial limited supply of a new model, inflate the price via a so-called "market value adjustment." We've seen it in the past with a number of new models, and now it's happening again with one of the Detroit 3's hottest vehicles. A dealership in Roseville, CA, outside of Sacramento, has allegedly attached a staggering $49,995 market value adjustment to a 2015 Corvette Z06. We say allegedly because, despite the evidence uncovered by BoostAddict, John L. Sullivan Chevy's online inventory listing doesn't display the price premium of the Z06 in question, a (normally) $93,965 model with the top-end 3LZ trim. It's unclear if either of the dealer's other Z06s, both 3LZs, one of which is in transit, will receive similar price adjustments. Now, legally, Sullivan Chevy isn't doing anything wrong here. Dealerships are under no obligation to observe a manufacturer's suggested retail price, a point General Motors' spokesperson Ryndee Carney pointed out to Autoblog via email. "For the Corvette Z06, Chevrolet has established a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price we feel is right for the market. Actual transaction prices, however, are the province of the dealer," Carney said, adding that a dealer zone manager will be discussing the price hike with the dealership. While we also reached out to the dealership over both the market value adjustment and the price of the Z06 as it appears on the company's website, we've yet to hear back as of this writing. Should they reply to our inquiries, we'll be sure to update you. Until then, we'd like to hear what you think about this case. Is Sullivan Chevy simply pricing the cars as high as it thinks the market can bear, or is this a cash grab for an hotly anticipated product? Have your say in Comments.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jan 13 2015

At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.
