1958 Biscayne 348 tri-power, 4 speed. This car runs, sounds, and drives excellent. It tracks straight, and stops nice. It has all the upgrades you would want in an old car. Power steering, power DISC brakes, and electric fan. The frame and floors are all SUPER solid. Frame is perfect. NO rust. The floors were replaced a few years back. It was done professionally, and correctly, including a rubberized undercoating. No cheap patch job. In fact, you'd have a hard time telling they were replaced. The body is good, but not great. Looks good at 10ft, but has it's share of flaws. It has an older paint job. Basically, it could use a nice paint job. It deserves it. Same for the chrome and trim. All there and good, but some of it would need replacing for show. Interior is excellent. Only flaw is a headliner seam split near the back. Carpet and door sill plates are brand new,and the seats and door panels are near perfect.Glass is all good. Just one small vent window is cracked. Windows go up and down nice, and everything works but the speedo and amp gauge. Motor runs VERY strong, and does NOT smoke. Starts right up, and runs very smooth. Originally a 6 cylinder. It's only running on the center carb right now, but will run on all three. The linkage does work, but isn't factory correct. The clutch is excellent, and the Saginaw 4-speed shifts through all the gears really nice and smooth. It's a pleasure to drive. Exhaust is near new without ANY leaks, and it also has a fresh tune-up. Points, plugs, wires, condensor, cap and rotor, and battery are all brand new. Car sounds awesome. The only thing it would need to be a daily driver is an emergency brake cable. Other than that, ready to be enjoyed without worries. It will leave the typical old car drip or two of oil. Original valve covers and radio included, Bottom line, this a fairly rare car, with the perfect motor-tranny combo. It's super solid, so a nice paint job would return you every penny invested. Only going up in value. Best of all, it's priced with a reasonable reserve. Any questions, feel free to ask. My name is Jim, and I can be reached at (585) 261-6547. You can email as well. Please ignore the negative feedback left recently. It was one idiot, who lost a challenge over a very minor issue. Ebay doesn't allow for removing the negative comment once it's left. No disappointments with this car. Also, I will assist with shipping any way I can.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
Junkyard Gem: 1985 Chevrolet Sprint
Thu, May 21 2020For in the 1985 model year, General Motors began selling Chevrolet-badged Suzuki Cultus hatchbacks in California. Sales of the cheap three-cylinder econobox in the rest of North America followed soon after (with the Canadian version known as the Pontiac Firefly), and did pretty well considering the crash in gasoline prices during the middle 1980s. Starting in 1988, the facelifted Sprint became the Geo (and, later on, Chevrolet) Metro. Here's one of the very first Cultuses sold on our shores, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard. Amazingly, the primitive rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet Chevette remained available all the way through 1987, competing with the thriftier front-wheel-drive Sprint in the same showrooms. For 1988, Pontiac started selling a rebadged Daewoo LeMans, so the Sprint/Metro never lacked for intra-corporate competition. Inside, you'll find the same stuff most mid-1980s Japanese econoboxes got: tough cloth upholstery and long-wearing hard plastics. Suzuki quality in 1985 wasn't quite up to Honda or Toyota levels, but you weren't paying Honda or Toyota prices for the Sprint. MSRP on this car started at $4,949, or about $12,000 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible 1985 Chevette cost $5,340, while a new no-frills Ford Escort would set you back $5,620. Subaru, however, could have put you in a punitively unappointed base-model Leone hatchback for just 40 bucks more than the Sprint that year. I think I'd have sprung the extra for a $5,348 Toyota Tercel, a $5,195 Mazda GLC, or— best cheap-commuter deal of all that year— the $5,399 Honda Civic 1300 hatchback. I was 19 years old and driving a Competition Orange 1968 Mercury Cyclone that year, and I recall feeling pity for Chevy Sprint drivers, new-car smell or not. Still, these weren't bad cars for the price, though a Sprint with an automatic transmission was a real character-builder. Got three cylinders and uses 'em all! 48 horsepower from this hemi-headed SOHC 1-liter. The Turbo Sprint — yes, such a car existed — had a howling 70 horsepower. The hood-latch release is a rectangular button that resembles a badge. 1985 Chevy Sprint Commercial The highest-mileage, lowest-priced car you can buy. 1985 holden barina commercial The Australian-market version was the Holden Barina, and the TV ads featured the Road Runner. 1983 SUZUKI CULTUS Ad In its homeland, this car got screaming guitars and a drive through New York City for its TV commercials.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
