Wichita, Kansas, United States

 Hello, Thanks for looking at my auction. This four door 150 sedan is an excellent candidate for a restoration.  This was put in dry storage in Burlington, Kansas back in 79 due to a blown head gasket. The head was removed and discarded by the original owner. I have disassembled the car for the most part, bagged and tagged every part. The body is off the frame and has little rust except the floor pan and floor braces. This seems like it is a lower mileage car due to the soundness of tie rod ends, u-joints, door strikers, bearings, brakes, etc. I cannot be sure though and cannot guarantee the odometer hasn't been around a few times! The trunk pan is in decent with no holes but there is one spot that got some pitting due condensation drip from the deck lid seal. The deck lid is rusted out on the underside where the weather stripping contacted it. It seems to me that this may have been due to dust build up from the barn it was in and then temperature changes causing trapped moisture. There are some dents on the top that will need to be massaged out when you take out the headliner. All interior parts are present, ( garnish moldings have been bead blasted and are pretty much ready for paint). The bodywork has been started on the doors, hood, and fenders.  Sorry that I have no pictures of the front clip, but the fenders and hood are in good shape. They have been sprayed with self etching primer and the doors have had some skim coats of  filler applied in some necessary areas (not rust related) and then urethane primer over that and then blocked and some scratch filler applied. The body work will need finishing by the buyer.   The drive train seems very sound aside from the motor, ( I have another good 235 that will be included). The windshield also has bullseye crack in it in front of rear view mirror. The stuff on the roof in the pictures are mud dauber nests. These pictures were taken when I bought the car and then disassembled. This can be a great car for the right person with talent and patience,(and money for a new floor pan!). I have nice Bellaire hubcaps to with this and a nice grill bar as well. This is very complete, I think the only thing it is missing is the bowtie emblem that goes in the grill bar. Though this has the original parts many will need replaced due to neglect. The title for this was lost and it will come with a Kansas Bill of Sale, a new Kansas title is easily obtained by the buyer due to age of car.  Please feel free to ask questions, I encourage you to ask questions! This is a no reserve auction and will sell to the high bidder. If you have a feedback rating of less than ten please contact me prior to bidding. This is pickup only. I can put the body back on the frame, air up tires and hang the doors to make this easier to transport at buyers request. Thanks for looking.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

GM recalling 521,817 cars in two campaigns

Tue, May 12 2015

General Motors is issuing two, separate recalls covering a total of 521,817 vehicles worldwide. The larger campaign covers 468,887 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Specifically, 437,045 of these are in the US, and the rest are outside the country. In these sedans, a steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate. GM knows of 36 claims about the problem but only one minor injury. According to The Detroit News, this happened when a taxi driver hit his head. To fix things, dealers will replace the "outboard lap mounting bracket," which will move the tensioner rearward. They'll also inspect and if necessary replace the steel cable and lap pretensioner. In the second campaign, 52,930 examples the 2015 Chevy Colorado and 2015 GMC Canyon have seat frame attachment hooks that were installed incorrectly during assembly. GM hasn't received any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities about this problem. Dealers will inspect the affected trucks and repair as necessary. GM spokesperson Alan Adler told Autoblog that he didn't yet have a specific date when affected owners would receive official mailings about either of these recalls. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 48,309 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks in the U.S. because certain seat frame attachment hooks were not properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. Dealers will inspect the potentially affected seats for proper installation and repair if necessary. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 52,930 including 4,620 vehicles sold in Canada. General Motors is recalling 437,045, 2011-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibus in the U.S. because the flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement in the seat. Dealers will replace the outboard lap mounting bracket to relocate the tensioner slightly rearward. Dealers will inspect the cable and, if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner. GM knows of 36 claims, no crashes or fatalities and one minor injury reportedly related to the condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 468,887 including Canada, Mexico and exports.
