Here we have a genuine, low mile one family owned survivor. I think you would call this Dresden Blue with a blue cloth interior ( that has sunfade and the dash and steering wheel have cracking ), the body has some very minor surface rust -- look at the detail photo of the wheel well -- that was all I could see, while under the hood, anything that wasn't factory painted now has a rust skin on it. The cassette AM/FM stereo was added about 10 years ago along with the 150 watt Alpine amp.The whole car was repainted to factory original color. A new replacement vinyl top was installed, and again to the original color match.

The battery is newer, the exhaust was also renewed and the brakelines also were replaced.

Miles are actual -- the 56,710 is real. I drove the car around a bit and spotted it under the tree for photos -- tried the A/C and radio and the radio plays and sound good, but the A/C will need recharged and/or repaired as it just blows warm air.

Now, please note that this car has a Clear Ohio title...but it has some history too.

IT WAS STOLEN.

THE THIEVES BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED THE VIN PLATE ( it's not there anymore )

THE CAR WAS RECOVERED

THE VIN WAS CLEARED AND RE-ISSUED BY THE STATE -- it is now tagged on the B pillar...see photo.

It will need tires as there is only 25 to 30 % tread left.

They are off brand P 195 75 R 14 92S M&S

231 V6 Auto

Drivers door needs ( just like all GM cars of this era ) a new set of pin bushings as it sags. My 80 did the same thing and it was a quick $9 fix to change out the plastic sleeves.

OK. NOW THE OFFICIAL STUFF.

I list all autos and parts "AS IS" used condition with no guarantees, wuarantees or promises. It is a used car and is not perfect and definetely NOT A MUSEUM PIECE.

I am only the listing agent and I will require a $500 paypal deposit within 48 hours after auction end and vehicle muse be paid in full within 7 days of sale end. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PAID IN FULL AND REGISTRATION HAS CHANGED OVER to the new owner, the vehicle may then be removed from the property and its legally yours to enjoy, race, modify or do what you want to it. Convert her to a V8, a roundy round or derby pace car.

You are invited to see the car and try it on for size before the auction is over -- or just email questions and I/we will try and answer all questions.

This is the only thing Monte I have to list, so please don't ask.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.
