Up for sale is my 1959 chevrolet Suburban Hot Rod with an aluminum ZZ4 crate motor that produces over 355 hp and over 400 ft.lbs. of torque! This is a hot rod that will carry your whole family + dogs in style, and fast! And it drives, shifts, stops, etc like a dream! This Suburban was converted a few years ago by its previous owner from its original state (an army-issued vehicle with a 6 cylinder engine, manual trans on the tree) to what it is today- one kick-a*@ fun car! It has the ZZ4 crate motor, rebuilt 350 trans, power steering, power brakes, side pipes, Edelbrock carb, upgraded suspension, rear end, brakes, steering column, steering wheel, ac/heat unit, etc. The Suburban features full glass all the way back, three rows of seats with new upholstery, new carpet up front, new gauge cluster, new cd/radio unit, freshly painted dash, new front glass, awesome chrome wheels, rear barn door style doors (which I think more functional than the clamshell style), and THE ORIGINAL WOOD FLOOR!


And being a southern vehicle, there are no nightmare rust issues here! Yes you will find some surface rust, and a small spot here or there that would need attention to be perfect (see pics), but thats it- come check it out for yourself! No rotted out floorboards, quarters, doors, etc. Again- it even has the original wood floor! Now this was not built as a high-end show car- it was intended to be a fun daily family cruiser. Where I am going with this is that while the car is 100% functional, very responsive, and 100% ready to use and enjoy right now as is, it still needs some finishing, as mentioned below. Or it would make a great candidate for a complete frame-off restoration (either now or sometime down the road); all the panels are straight, doors open and shut and are aligned properly, hood is aligned properly, etc. It really is a very straight car with very few issues, and its 54 years old! And its a 3 owner car- me, the last guy, and the US Army!


Now for some of the issues: it needs a paint job if you do not like the kind of rat rod look it has going for it right now… The ac/heat unit is not hooked up right now (never was under my ownership), cd player is there but needs speakers, speedo is not hooked up, it needs a headliner, its missing a windshield wiper (I kept it garaged and never drove it in the rain), there is no carpet in the rear (the wood floor is exposed on purpose) and some of the rear windows will need attention (a few of the panels are cracked and most of the rear windows could use new seals). Oh and there are no seatbelts in the rear… Other than that I can’t think of any other major issues.


The Suburban is being sold “as is”, so of course it would be great if the buyer can come see the vehicle in person here in Marietta GA. If that is not possible please ask any and all questions before bidding! I have it garaged and can help with transporting the vehicle (storing it for a short time, meeting the driver of the transport company, etc)- I have shipped many vehicles in the past and am very familiar with the process. If you just have to have it and can’t wait 7 days for the auction to end, make me an offer and if we come to an agreement I will add a buy-it-now option to the listing.


I have thoroughly enjoyed owning this vehicle and will be very sad to see it go, but am trying to purchase a house, so some toys must go :( Thanks for checking out my auctions!

2015 Chevy Colorado gets its GearOn before Chicago

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Complementing the Chevrolet Silverado Midnight Edition at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show is this, the 2015 Colorado GearOn Edition, which as the name might suggest, takes full advantage of the company's truck accessory catalog. Available on the volume LT trim and in both crew and extended cab varieties and with both the short and long-bed options, the GearOn Edition adds plenty of nifty extras designed to increase the truck's versatility and help accommodate bikes, kayaks and other outdoorsy items. The GearOn bars package, divider package and tie-down rings are supplemented an "EZ" lift and lower tailgate, side steps, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body color grille, and blacked-out Chevy badges. And although it's not specifically called out in the attached press release, the paint on this special edition looks different than anything else in the truck's catalog. We dig it, especially with the black accents. Prices, meanwhile, start at $31,250, which is not even $1,200 more than a Colorado Extended Cab LT 4x4. We'll have more on the Colorado GearOn when it makes its debut later this week at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show, including live images to add to the pair of stocks distributed by Chevy. Until then, scroll down for the press release on the limited-edition truck. Chevy Colorado GearOn™ Edition Brings More Adventure Versatile accessories package maximizes cargo capability; enables more fun DETROIT – Chevrolet today introduced the 2015 Colorado GearOn™ Special Edition, which blends the capability of the all-new midsize pickup truck with the versatility of the GearOn accessory system – and additional popular features. It makes its public debut Feb. 13-22 at the Chicago Auto Show. The Colorado GearOn Special Edition goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $31,250. It's offered on LT models in extended or crew cab configurations, with the long or short cargo bed and available 4WD. "Chevrolet Colorado answers the call for customers who have passions of all types and the GearOn accessory system enables them to bring more adventure wherever they go," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager. "And with Colorado offering segment-leading efficiency and capabilities, it's a combination that maximizes adventure without compromise." The GearOn accessory system is designed for easy configuration with a multitude of mounting accessories for everything from bikes, kayaks, skis and stand-up paddle boards to a bed-mounted tent.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

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.
