This beautiful, smooth running V-8 convertible is great for cruising around town or long road trips.  Very reliable with an electronic ignition and rebuilt TH-350 transmission.  The engine has the original Rochester carburetor and a newer GM Performance air cleaner.  The exhaust system has been upgraded with Hedman headers and full Flowmaster dual exhaust.  It sounds amazing!  It also has a new battery, new alternator and reconditioned radiator (and new hoses).  The brakes; discs in front and drums in back work fine, but need new pads and rotors.  The carb could use a tune-up and the sending unit for the gas tank is not very accurate.

The exterior is rust free and has been repainted with period correct Flame Red with clear coat.  The chrome bumpers are in good original condition with a few small stone chips and the front bumper has a small dent in the corner (see pics).  The badges and emblems are all in place.  There are a few small stone chips on the front edge of the hood.  The side mirrors are 1970 Camaro/Chevelle sport mirrors.  The wheels are aftermarket  16" Rallys and the tires are fairly new with about 5k miles on them.  The convertible top is in ok condition, it doesn't have any holes or tears.  But, it shows a bit of wear.

The interior is refinished black vinyl and the carpet is new.  It has brown stock GM lap belts and I have black aftermarket lap belts included.  The heater/defroster work as do the windshield wipers and windshield radio antenna. All of the gauges work. There is a  Rockford Fosgate CD head-unit and new speakers.  2 tweeters, center 4" and rear 6x9's.  It sounds OK, not great.  The power top works but struggles on the way up.  It usually requires a hand assist to get it fully closed.  The trunk is clean and rust free, with a full size spare and original jack. The windows are manual roll down, the rear passenger side window pops out of its track occasionally.

Overall, this is a very reliable, fun, daily driver or weekend cruiser.  I have tried to give as much info as I know, but I am not a mechanic.  The car has been basically trouble free and now is starting to need some TLC.  I don't have the time to keep up with it, so unfortunately I should sell it to someone who can.  I will be sad to see it go.  If you have any questions or would like to see it in person, send me a message.

Please, only serious bidders and NO TRADES.

Chevy: The Big Game

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Chevrolet took an early lead for the 2015 Super Bowl advertising crown with its spot for the all-new, 4G LTE-capable Colorado pickup in a spot that simulated a problem with your TV. The stark, simple ad then states that if you're lucky enough to have an Internet-capable vehicle, like the new Colorado, you'd at least be able to stream the game. A clever, chuckle-inducing spot if there was one. Check out our full write up of the new, 2015 Colorado. Marketing/Advertising Chevrolet Truck Super Bowl Commercials Videos 2015 super bowl ad

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
