This is a great car. This is a rust free Central Texas car that has never lived outside the county in which it was originally bought. More about that later. This car has the original 6 cylinder with factory markings still visible on the firewall. There are oil change stickers on the car that go back to the mid 1970's. The original spare is in the trunk and the original jacking instructions are still on the jack. The chrome is original and very nice for its age. There is a little delamination of the original glass, but not much. This is the MOST DEPENDABLE old car I have ever owned, and that is of a couple of dozen cars. When none of my other cars would start, including modern cars, this one would. Put a little gas in the carb if it has been sitting a while and she will start right up. Oil pressure is good and the car runs cool. This Chevy will cruise all day at 60 mph. When I bought the car almost 10 years ago it had been sitting in a barn for several years and the brakes were out. The gas tank had also been replaced, I assume to get it running. I fixed the brakes and rebuilt the Powerglide transmission and have had no problems mechanically since. It does have a small leak at the rear main, but not bad enough to pull the engine. I just add a quart every couple of thousand miles. As you can see by the mileage the car has never been driven much.

The original paint started flaking off pretty badly and so I had to repaint the car. This new paint is the original color and looks great. There are a few chips in the paint, (see photos), but it is excellent driver quality. The car had a dent at the passenger side turn indicator that I fixed and rechromed when the car was painted. I have radial tires on the car and 4 mounted WWW bias ply tires go with the car. The trunk mat is new as is the trunk cardboard. I replaced the vacuum wiper with a 6v electric wiper motor and the original vacuum wiper motor and control knob go with the car. Owner's manuals and Shop Manual go with the car. The interior is all original. There is one small hole in the front seat--see picture--as well a small hole in the rear of the front seat--see picture. There is a place just above the front seat adjustment that has torn from age. The headliner is complete and yellowed with age. The door panels are very nice and show some age spots that don't show up well on the pictures. The paint on the dash and the interior chrome is very nice as are the sun visors. The AM radio was not working when I bought the car and I had it fixed. It worked for several years and then went out again. I didn't fix it because there were no AM stations I wanted to listen to. It hums now, but that's it.

This car was originally bought in Belton Texas by an elderly couple and sold out of their estate in the early 1970's. This elderly couple had bought the car with only 2 options on it: the Powerglide transmission and the cheaper radio (it has no push buttons). The car changed hands 3 times through 2 owners who never transferred title and then was sold to a Viet Nam fighter pilot veteran in a town 10 miles away. Shortly after buying the car, this gentleman had a heart attack and his kids forbade him from driving again so he put it in a barn where it sat for over a decade. He eventually sold the car to a fellow who did not transfer title. I was the next owner. Of the 4 prior owners, I have spoken to 2 of them as well as descendants of the original owners.

This is a fabulous car to get into the hobby. There is next to nothing to do to the car except drive and enjoy, and it will get you there. It is DEPENDABLE!!

Good luck bidding and remember: An old car is just that--it is not new. There are no warranties expressed or implied. I will be more than happy to answer any questions, but I will be in the wilds of the trans-Pecos area of Texas over the Labor Day holiday. No telephone coverage, no internet! The middle of nowhere! I'll be back Monday evening and will answer all questions then.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
