We are the second titled owner of this beautiful convertible.  Mr. Ralph Englestad first acquired this vehicle as new with a mso (manufacturer's statement of origin).  He was the owner of the Imperial Palace Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.  He was also an automobile dealer and had an extensive automobile collection.  In the early 1990's the vehicle was sold to the first titled owners.  They owned the car for 20 years.  We purchased the car in 2012 with total original documented miles of 9,670The miles are stated on our clear Tennessee title.  We have driven the car over 3,000 miles with no issues and much enjoyment.

When we purchased the vehicle, we had a Chevrolet dealership change all fluids, belts, hoses, etc. and requested GM products be used.  We also had a new top and new tires installed due to age.  This convertible is ready to drive any place and any distance you choose.  This isn't a car that has been dressed up and shined up to appear to be something it really isn't.  It can be enjoyed for years and decades to come.

The driver's side exterior remote mirror will not move.  The clock works but is unplugged because it makes an annoying clicking sound every one or two minutes.  The 8 track tape player works and certainly provides a nostalgic feature to the car (yes you can still purchase tapes).  This convertible is 39 years old and isn't perfect with some minor discoloration between floor mats and carpet, but they are original to the vehicle.  The top could use some adjustment but works fine as is.

If you have interest please call me and I will provide more details concerning the history of the car.  We have much documentation from the time the vehicle was first sold and titled.  We also have many more pictures that we can send you.  The number is 865-207-4493.  Please call between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern time.  Please no text messages.

The vehicle is priced to sell with no reserve.  Please have finances in order and be prepared to complete payment within 7 days of purchase. It is advertised locally and is subject to sell prior to the 7 day auction ending.  We will work with the buyer anyway we can.

Thank you.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.

U.S. new-vehicle sales in 2018 rise slightly to 17.27 million [UPDATE]

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — Sales of new vehicles in the U.S. rose slightly in 2018, defying predictions and highlighting a strong economy. Automakers reported an increase of 0.3 percent over a year ago to 17.27 million vehicles. The increase came despite rising interest rates, a volatile stock market, and rising car and truck prices that pushed some buyers out of the new-vehicle market. Industry analysts and automakers said strong economic fundamentals pushed up sales and should keep them near historic highs in 2019. "Economic conditions in the U.S. are favorable and should continue to be supportive of vehicle sales at or around their current run rate," Ford Chief Economist Emily Kolinski Morris said after the company and other automakers announced their sales numbers Thursday. That auto sales remain near the 2016 record of 17.55 million is a testimonial to the strength of the economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. The job market, he said, has created new employment, and wage growth has accelerated. "That's fundamental to selling anything," he said. "If there are lots of jobs and people are getting bigger paychecks, they will buy more." The unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, a 49-year low. The economy is thought to have grown close to 3 percent last year, its best performance in more than a decade. Consumers, the main driver of the economy, are spending freely. The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate four times in 2018 but is only expected to raise it twice this year. Auto sales also were helped by low gasoline prices and rising home values, Zandi said. It all means that people are likely to keep buying new vehicles this year even as they grow more expensive. The Edmunds.com auto-pricing site estimates that the average new vehicle price hit a record $35,957 in December, about 2 percent higher than the previous year. It will be harder for automakers to keep the sales pace above 17 million because they have been enticing buyers for several years now with low-interest financing and other incentives, Zandi said. He predicts more deals in the coming year as job growth slows and credit tightens for higher-risk buyers. Edmunds, which provides content, including automotive tips and reviews, for distribution by The Associated Press, predicts that sales will drop this year to 16.9 million.

Engine block heater issues force GM to recall 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks

Tue, May 7 2019

General Motors has issued a recall on 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks that could be susceptible to short circuits, and consequently, potential fire. The recall affects several models of heavy duty Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras with optional engine block heaters. GM is recalling seven different truck models spread across three years. The recall affects the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2017-2019 Silverado 3500HD, 2019 Silverado 4500HD, 2019 Silverado 5500HD, and 2019 Silverado 6500HD, plus the 2017-2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD and 2017-2019 Sierra 3500HD. Specifically, it includes these models with the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engines and the optional engine block heater. The recall technically deals not with the engine block heater itself, but the way it is connected. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V328000, the engine block heater cord or the terminals that link the cord to the heater could short circuit. A short circuit could potentially damage engine components and result in a fire. According to The Detroit News, 19 fires have been reported but nobody has been injured. GM has yet to figure out a fix, and thus has not yet released a notification schedule for affected customers. If you believe your vehicle is part of the recall, contact GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733 and use reference number N182206310.
