Overall the car is in great condition. The vehicle underwent a basic restoration in 2010. The following was done to the vehicle:

1. Had SBC 350 rebuilt and bored out .060. 2-step up cam installed during rebuild.

2. New rebuilt 200R4 transmission with appropriate cross member.

3. Edelbrock carb, intake, fuel pump, and water pump installed.

4. New power steering pump, AC, steering gearbox, master cylinder,

5. New brake and fuel lines.

6. Installed like-new complete dash.

7. New carpet and seat covers, interior trim and panels dyed black.

8. New paint and rhino-type liner in bed.

9. Removed bumpers and installed roll pan.

10. Custom tail gate with license plate bracket removed.

11. New cowl front hood.

12. All new bushings, tie rods, u-joints, etc, brakes, etc.

13. New grill and light bezels

14. New weatherstripping for doors and windows

15. Flowmaster Exhaust (I believe Super 40) dumped before rear axle.

16. Rear End from 1985 Monte SS (3.73 I think, non-posi as I was led to believe it was).

17. 205/75R15 Coopers on front, 275/60R15 Tiger Paws on rear. Great Tread.

18. Vintage looking American Racing wheels.

19. Tinted windows (not pictured).

I am positive there is more not listed here...

In a nutshell, car was stripped down to bare body on frame (frame was never removed although all frame mounts and bushings were replaced).

Essentially all components are new or rebuilt, and all suspension parts were either sand blasted and repainted or replaced and painted.

There is very little to this car that hasn't been replaced in the engine compartment (radiator, coolant reservoir, washer fluid reservoir,

wiper motor....these are original and what I can think of right now).

Although this car is in excellent shape, there are a couple items that could be better:

1. Small ding on left rear quarter above wheel well. Hardly noticeable unless you know it is there,

2. Small indention on front right of hood (pushed a little hard in closing it, and in the wrong place)

3. A couple minor chips on front bumper (it has been driven...maybe 200 miles since restoration)

4. A couple interior trim piece are screwed in from outside (couldn't locate clips at the time).

5. Some dings are chrome around bed (have replacement chrome for this for all except tailgate and rear corners that would be included).

6. Seat covers were low quality...can easily be replaced.

7. Transmission fluid cover leaks slightly and occasionally. I am told this is common and that a 700R4 pan would fix.

This car runs and rides great...and is definitely loud. And is definitely an attention-getter that only needs a little minor work to make show ready.

Thanks for looking and bidding! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Payment by bank wire also accepted.

THIS CAR IS ALSO BEING SOLD LOCALLY AND THE LISTING COULD BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US 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.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
