Honesty being the best policy, here is whats wrong:
1. Carb (holly 4 barrel) needs rebuild or replacement. That is the only thing preventing it from being driven away. Had it examined by a professional mechanic who said that based on the description of the problem, it may need nothing more than new gaskets - but YOU'LL have to figure that out on your own. Engine was rebuilt about two years ago, and has been an old mans grocery store runner ever since, so it has low miles on a rebuild - thus the "1000 miles" on the mileage as stated above. Don't remember what the odometer says, but it HAS been driven less than 1000 since rebuild - Probably WAY less. Great engine in other words - but I don't have the paperwork or receipts on the work, and I am not mechanically savvy enough to be able to tell you much about it, so you need to use your expert mechanical skills to see the greatness of the engine. I know enough from driving it, it runs great when the carb works, and people who look at the engine seem somewhat impressed - I'm just too ignorant to know why... (honesty sucks)
2. Needs brakes. It does stop, but you can tell that it will need them soon.
3. Needs new tires soon as well. They hold air, but they are old.
4. Needs a new muffler unless you like the way it sounds. It is likely that the exhaust would need to be replaced all the way up to the exhaust manifold, and the exhaust manifold is in fact the only thing on the engine that makes the entire engine compartment look horrible. The compartment itself is nice (flat black) and clean, the engine looks great (could use a quick cleaning, especially on the chrome - in fact come to think of it, the whole car could use a wash - sorry, I'm lazy. If you want it washed, buy it and wash it yourself - you'll find its quite a pretty car). If it weren't for the exhaust manifold, it'd look friggen AWESOME.
5. Minor leak at the top right passenger side of the windshield, probably could use new window seals all the way around though.
Thats it. Fix those 5 things and its mechanically a new reliable car. Cosmetically, it is old paint, has a smudge here a chip there, and a couple small rust bubbles, no rust showing yet, but overall, it still shines in the sun and it still turns heads, in fact you will be lucky to not have to stop and thank people for compliments every 2 blocks. It is a GREAT looking car. Inside looks great as well. It is aged, but has newer carpet on the floor, door panels are in great shape, headliner is in great shape. The front bench seat has two large (and ugly) rips, one at each end, but the front backrest is in great condition. In the back seat, there are two small rips in the same places as the front, the the early stages of the condition of the front seat, but they are very small, and the back-backrest is in excellent condition. Found a company in California who will sell you the original style factory seat material as well as new seat foam for $500.00 but I got along fine with a big green sheet for a seat cover. All the lights and gauges work, including an installed temp/oil/batt gauge. (temp gauge died, $25.00 fix) When the car runs, (with a muffler) its as quiet as a mouse and rides smooth as hell. Transmission is fine by the way.
contact through Ebay messaging or call and I can and answer any questions. (I am on the phone a lot, so if you reach v mail leave message and I will call back.)

This is the most honest assessment of this car that I can give. It IS being sold as is, and while to the best of my knowledge the car is great. But I don't want to hear it if you buy it and a tire pops or something. It IS an old car, and things wear down, but I think with a little TLC it will run for years to come.
Should also mention, it seemed to run hot, considered installing a larger radiator, but instead installed two fans (seen in image that looks directly down on the radiator) and installed the switch on the dash.It worked great so never bothered switching to a larger radiator. They (the fans) run whether the car is on or off, which is a mixed blessing. Its great if your in a traffic jam and need a little extra wind, but if you forget to turn it off after you turn off the car, it will be happy to kill your battery - and speaking of batteries, it may need a new one. Its been sitting for a few months, and has died down. Also (just remembering) the bolt that holds the alternator on has snapped, and its being held on by a bracket over the top. It runs as is, but would strongly recommend replacing that bolt that too. I went to do it one day but bought the wrong size and never bothered again, because the carb started spraying gas out the sides (indicating possibly that all it needs is the gasket kit, but not sure) so I never bother to get a new bolt because I couldn't drive it anyway.
Also original hubcaps and accompanying rims are in the trunk.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado Custom glitzes up volume model [UPDATE]
Thu, Feb 12 2015UPDATE: The original prices listed in Chevrolet's press release did include destination charging, despite not being specifically called out as such. We've edited the story to reflect this. The Chicago Auto Show's reputation as the home of special edition debuts grows stronger today, as Chevrolet is complementing the news that it'd unveil the Silverado Midnight Edtion and Colorado GearOn special editions in the Windy City with the debut of the Silverado Custom. And yes, it's different than the higher-spec Custom Sport that debuted just last month in Detroit. What's so custom about the Silverado Custom, you ask? Well, not a whole lot. The new truck is based on the popular Silverado LS Double Cab, and adds, among its most noteworthy features, a set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels. From there, chrome is the order of the day, with shinier front and rear bumpers, mirror caps and door handles. The top portion of the front bumper, which is finished in black plastic on the standard LS, is matched to the body color on the Custom model. Standard LS interior features, like the 4.2-inch MyLink system with 4G LTE wireless internet, 40/20/40 cloth front seats, remain in place on the Custom, while it's a similar story with the powertrain. Choices below the sheetmetal will force buyers to choose between a 5.3-liter V8 or a standard 4.3-liter V6, and two- or four-wheel drive. Chevy is pricing a V8-equipped Silverado Custom 4x2 at $33,820 (including $1,195 in destination charges). Adding four-wheel drive brings the price up at $37,800, although as we said, selecting the 4.3-liter V6 will yield a more affordable Custom. Check out the full press release on the newest member of the Silverado clan, available below. 2015 Silverado Custom: Back to Basics, with Style $33,820 starting price for a well-equipped double-cab V-8 CHICAGO – Chevrolet takes aim at the heart of the pickup market with the Silverado Custom, which offers Chevy Truck capability and dependability in a stylish package, priced within reach of many truck customers. "The economic recovery has led to booming sales of high-end pickups like the Silverado High Country," said Sandor Piszar, marketing director for Chevy Trucks. "But there are also millions of customers in the heart of the market who want a great looking, well-equipped truck at an affordable price.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
