350CI, 2BBL carb, TH350 auto trans, A/C(needs recharge), PS/PB, AM/FM radio

I am the second owner of this car. I purchased it back in 1992 with 53,000 miles on it. Since then I've tried to keep it as original as possible. The only modifications I made were mainly to the dash. Back in 1992 I replaced the "Idiot Lights" with gauges, cut the dash to accept a newer style radio and installed speakers in the doors. Otherwise everything is basically the way it came from the factory. This is a numbers matching car. The body has minor body dents/dings. The body solid with no rust-through under the car or around the wheelwells (Factory undercoated). Original paint has minor defects and has touchups in a few areas. The car starts, runs and drives good. Tires have plenty of tread but show some signs of age.

When I took the car out of storage in April, I decided to install new springs in order to restore the ride height. That led to me replacing a lot of parts since I was under there anyway. It's not that they were necessarily bad, just that they were 40 years old. Some of the things I ran across were things like; the U-Joints had the factory plastic retainers and the Ball Joints had the factory rivets(I took Pictures). That confirms a low mileage car. Here's a list of the parts I replaced (5/13, 64,000);

Front Bumper Fillers, New Radiator, Battery Tray, Belts, Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses, Auto Trans lines, Valve Cover Gaskets, Oil Pan Gasket, Upper and Lower Control Arm bushings, Upper and lower Ball Joints, Steering Stabilizer, Front Sway Bar Links, Front and Rear Shocks, Front and Rear Springs, Power Brake Booster and Master Cylinder, Front Calipers and Rear Wheel Cylinders, Front Brake Pads and Rear Brake Shoes, All Brake Lines and Hoses Replaced, Trans Mount, U-Joints, Vinyl Top.

Notice to potential Buyers; It's important that you understand that this car has conventional ignition and a carburetor. You should have a good understanding of point gap/dwell/timing,carburetor adjustments and their operation. For example; you need to step on the gas pedal once before starting the car. This sets the choke and pumps a shot gas into the carb. There is no computer to take care of these things for you.

Deposit of $500.00 via PayPal is required within 24HRS of action close. Balance due within 7days of action close. Buyer is responsible for pickup of vehicle and any shipping costs. Any questions about the car you can email me at M421milo@Gmail.com

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:

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
