History of the car to the best of my knowledge:
The original owner of the car was from Alabama and he was incarcerated back in the late seventies. Vehicle was stored in a warehouse with the rest of his belongings, until he died in prison in 2002. His family members divided his belongings and his daughter inherited it and then sold it to an older gentleman in Georgia (He was 60 years old in 2002), registered it as an antique vintage vehicle and drove it only a few hundred miles a year. I bought it from him last year and registered it in Alabama as a Vintage car as well.

Numbers Matching car (Original Engine/ Transmission)
Low original mileage (26K miles)
Original Interior
Original wheels, hub caps, and wheel trim.
Original Carburetor.
Always used 93 Octane gas in it

 

The vehicle is always been registered as an Antique Vintage vehicle since it came out of storage in 2002, limiting the mileage and usage to a few hundred miles a year. It has also been insured by American Collectors insurance company in the amount of $30,000. The car has always been started and driven occasionally to keep it in a running condition. Always been Alabama and Georgia Vehicle, never been north. Paint is glossy as you can see in the pictures but during storage, the car wasn't covered, so you will be able to see scratches, paint chips, etc when you are close to the car. Front speakers are in-op, tried to replace them but I cracked the top dashpad in the process, so I left it as is.

FAQ:

Q: Any frame rust?
A: No, Frame is free of rust. Got to see undercarriage to appreciate.

Q: Any rust on the floor panels?
A: No, the floor panels are made of fiberglass in the 1974 and older vehicles. So no rust, and no chance of rust in the future.

Q: Headlights go up and down? Low beam/ high beam work? 
A: Yes 

Q: Wipers work?
A: Yes

Q: I live in x State, that is about xxx miles away from you, can I drive it home?
A: I would drive it anywhere. Tune up is recommended before thousands of miles trip.

Q: Is the car in perfect condition?
A: Car is in good original condition, but don't expect a brand new 39 years old car, and don't expect a fully restored car, car runs and drives with no major problems but you may need to take care of minor issues like o'clock in-op, hazy taillights, and some guage lights in-op. Be realistic about what you expect and Please don't bid if you don't know what you getting yourself into.

Q: Does the car have a title?
A: Alabama State like many other States registered the cars before 1975 and never titled them. You will receive current Original (not a copy) Alabama Registration, and a bill of sale. If your State requires titling, then you will get a title issued in your name when you take the documnets to the DMV/ tag office. 

Q: Would you consider trades?
A: No, I need the cash.

Q: What is the MPG?
A: About 18 MPG.

Q: Can I use it as a everyday car?
A: It would make a good everyday car, a good collectable car, or it can be used as a good platform for a nut to bolt restoration.

All welcome to come take a look and test drive the car.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have to the best of my knowledge,

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
