A Beautiful Real Non-Restored Ultra Low Miles Convertible Right Color - Both Exterior and Interior Right Year - Last Year for Chevrolet Full Size Convertible Right Condition - Authentic - Not Restored Right Engine - 400 Cubic Inch V-8 We are the second titled owner of this beautiful convertible. Mr. Ralph Englestad first acquired this vehicle as new with a mso (manufacturer's statement of origin). He was the owner of the Imperial Palace Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. He was also an automobile dealer and had an extensive automobile collection. In the early 1990's the vehicle was sold to the first titled owners. They owned the car for 20 years. We purchased the car in 2012 with total original documented miles of 9,670. The miles are stated on our clear Tennessee title. We have driven the car over 3,000 miles with no issues and much enjoyment. When we purchased the vehicle, we had a Chevrolet dealership change all fluids, belts, hoses, etc. and requested GM products be used. We also had a new top and new tires installed due to age. This convertible is ready to drive any place and any distance you choose. This isn't a car that has been dressed up and shined up to appear to be something it really isn't. It can be enjoyed for years and decades to come. The driver's side exterior remote mirror will not move. The clock works but is unplugged because it makes an annoying clicking sound every one or two minutes. The 8 track tape player works and certainly provides a nostalgic feature to the car (yes you can still purchase tapes). This convertible is 39 years old and isn't perfect with some minor discoloration between floor mats and carpet, but they are original to the vehicle. The top could use some adjustment but works fine as is. If you have interest please call me and I will provide more details concerning the history of the car. We have much documentation from the time the vehicle was first sold and titled. We also have many more pictures that we can send you. The number is 865-207-4493. Please call between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern time. Please no text messages. The vehicle is priced to sell with no reserve. Please have finances in order and be prepared to complete payment within 7 days of purchase. It is advertised locally and is subject to sell prior to the 7 day auction ending. We will work with the buyer anyway we can. Thank you. |

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
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.
