VIN: 136375K160073 MILEAGE: 99616 reading and who really knows. UP FRONT discloser and time saver!!!!!!!!!! This is a good looking car, it drives and stops good, it has clear glass and decent chrome, the engine runs good and the transmission shifts good. It no $100,000 roll out of the trailer show queen. Its just a nice drive and enjoy quality car. The car is the high metallic blue paint, the door jambs and underside of trunk and lips painted good. The engine and transmission are not the originals, they have been upgraded to a 1970 350 cubic inch engine and a 3 speed automatic Turbo 350, the car probably came out with a 283 and a 2 speed Powerglide. To me a drive and enjoy quality car is one that looks good, drives good, runs good, but is not a show perfect car, just to look at it is beautiful, but if you inspect you will find flaws and the quality of restoration is not the same as a high dollar show car. You sort of get what you pay for, your paying for drive and enjoy not a national show winner. Come look the car over and be happy. MY PRICE IS THE REAL PRICE!!!!!!!! I don't like to play the used car game, if you want to play go to a Classic Car showroom. My price is the real price, its fair for this car. I have been doing this for a long time and sold every car I ever tried to, so I know the game and have sold 100% if the cars I have ever tried to. WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM: My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of WILL I SELL THE CAR OFF EBAY MOTORS? Yes, I'm not crazy, I know the most of you are not registered on ebay and use it as a research tool. EBAY PRICE IS $18,700 AND MY REAL PRICE IS $17,800 DIRECT!!!! That's what it take to buy the car on or off ebay motors, you dealers wanting to resell have to pay the same. I have been doing this for a long time and I know the game, I don't play it the same as most and I sell every car I put for sell. PLEASE NO TRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, but I will not trade, why should I trade when I have a hot selling car, I don't need motor cycles, boats, jewelry or your used false teeth. I DO NOT SHOW CARS ON SUNDAY!!!!! I worship on sunday, I spend time with my family and I rest. I'm doing this because I love it, "I need a day off". I will be happy to show you cars 6 days a week, call in advance to set up a time. Sorry, but I do not do videos. I'm old and don't want to learn and mess with them, I sell my cars anyway. TITLE: The title matches the VIN on the car, I have the clear title in hand.

None that I can find and the title states none. WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR? I’m a retired mechanic/auto-mechanic instructor/was a Army helicopter mechanic and instructor. When I find a truck or car I like for a good price I buy it fix things and resell for a fair profit. I did not restore this car, I just fixed a few things. IS THIS A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR? NO! PAINT: The metallic blue paint would be considered good, the car is fairly straight when you look down the sides, it has no rust bubbles, no big dents, the only ding is one on the passengers rear quarter, its from the inside where someone hauled something, it did not break the paint and its about the size of a nickle. The paint shines good, 2 or 3 touched up chips and a couple of touched up places on the noise of the hood. CHROME: The front and rear bumpers are nice, they have been rechromed, the windshield chrome new, the convertible top chrome new, the hood chrome has pits. INTERIOR: No smoke smell, the seat covers are good, the carpet good, the door panels good, not new interior, but good. The instrument bezel is scuffed. RADIO: Not super high quality, but it works. UNSERSIDE: Frame is solid, the back bottom of the floors have been replaced with the correct panels, a few pin holes and the thin sheet metal on the rear quarter drop downs have rusty edges. GLASS: The glass is fine, the door glasses roll up and down good and the windshield is new, no vent window looks. ENGINE: Engine runs very good, its a 1970 350 cubic inch with a 4 barrel carburetor. No knocks or blue smoke. EXHAUST SYSTEM: Used, but decent condition, the mufflers are Flow Master. TRANSMISSION: Its a Turbo 350 that shifts good. REAR-END: It has no bearing noises, no growls, its the original with a good highway gearing. BRAKES: Good, they are drums all around. COPNVERTIBLE TOP: Its not power, but goes up and down good. Its a older top with no holes and no real bad wear, its very usable, the back plastic window is dull. STEERING: The cars drives very good, it is power steering. WHEELS AND TIRES: The wheels are Rallies and the tires good radials with white letters. LIGHTS: They work, turn signals work, headlights work, tail lights work, brake lights work. GUAGES: Gas gauge works, speedometer works, the oil, volt and temp are in a pod old school under the dash. Horn is not working. HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE and panel fit? I think the doors fit and open decent, the back right corner of the trunk does not fit good, after the pictures I put new trunk rubber on and adjusted it again, its not much better. WOULD I DRIVE THE CAR HOME ON A LONG TRIP: I never recommend driving a old car home, I just test drive them and drive them some around town, but I do think this car would drive anywhere. DID I RESTORE THIS CAR? No! TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just to hard!

CONTACT INFO: my cell is 423-506-8987, I do not answer when driving, while meeting with people, after about cell 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com PAPERWORK: I know what to do! WE DO NOT HAVE A SHOW ROOM WITH OVERHEAD! We are just a father/son 2 man operation, but we are a THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION, THIS IS A FIXED PRICE LISTING: I reserve the right to stop the listing at any time and sale the vehicle “come look”. I RESERVE TH RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED: The car is here at my garage in US OR EXPORT "Nations Auto Transport" is located in the Kansas City area: This is a good company that will handle any type of transport in the Call Jim Page....his work number is 816-295-6887 and his email is jpage@shipnat.com MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car. I will take this by PayPal, but not full payment. Option 1: Pay the old school way with green face to face. Option 2: Pay by check, I will wait till the most checks clear, I have had a fake bank certified check. I will take a bank cashiers check with lots of identification and advance notice so I can check you out. Option 3: The safest is to let our banks handle it, my bank is a member of the transfer. I will not give out my banking information until I get your information. INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car as I see it as a 66 year old car restorer, please come and judge it for your self. I judge the car to my standards, this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are unpredictable, you might get a good one, but lots of them do not impress me at all, they make a good car sound bad on the report. They have to be very critical to cover their back sides and all their concerned about is getting paid. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking, but I think you should come look yourself. I don’t like paid inspectors, I like for the person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you. To make it clear, don’t hit the buy now button and then inspect, come inspect first, I will not stop the listing and wait for a inspector! TRADES: Please no trades! I do not finance cars! If your going to finance, get pre-approved. BOTTOM LINE: My price is really $18,700 and I am firm. The game is not rocket science, ask a price and come down, but I don't like that game. It’s not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. My firm price is the Buy Now price. I have sold every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained down. PLEASE!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! Come look at this vehicle. Please don’t hit the Buy Now button unless your ready to really buy it! Do your research, call me with questions, read my feed backs, I am ebay verified; this means they say I’m a real person in a real place. I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE VEHICLE WITH-OUT AN INSPECTION; YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info.

Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line
Thu, Feb 9 2017While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
