454 BIG BLOCK ENGINE

TURBO 350  AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

GOOD CHROME ...POWER STEERING

POWER BRAKES...DISC IN FRONT

NICE RALLY WHEELS

GOOD INTERIOR...BLACK BUCKET SEATS

 

 

 

 

  

VIN: 136370A158627 and the VIN plate matches the title. I have a hard clear title in hand.

 

TITLE: I do have a clear title in hand and the VIN matches, we work out of my garage, but we have used car dealers license to keep things legal, the car will be sold from me as a dealer.

 

History: I can't tell you much about the history. The title states last registration was in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The title is now Ohio, the car just went to Ohio from Kentucky on 7/22/13.        

 

MILEAGE: 8990 reading on the odometer now, I'm sure it is not correct because the instrument cluster has been changed, the car should have came with a Malibu sweep type cluster and it now has a round gauge type like a Super Sport.

 

UP FRONT discloser and time saver!!!!!!!!!! This is a good looking car, I consider it solid, it drives and stops good, it has very nice chrome, the engine runs good and the transmission shifts good.  Its just a nice drive and enjoy quality car, its no new car, its no perfect show queen, "its just a nice car for a good price". It was not born a real Super Sport with a 454 engine, it has been up-graded and changed. Picture make it look like a near perfect show car, it is nice, but not as nice as the pictures. If your looking for a good looking drive and enjoy quality car, this may be it, if your looking to buy a new and perfect show queen get ready to pay a lot more money.

 

 

 

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM:  My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of Athens, TennesseeAthens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 41. I am now retired and living my dream restoring, selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at Tennessee Technology Center here in Athens. I am also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook helicopter mechanic, crew chief and instructor in the late 60s, I did spend a year in Vietnam.  I’m Southern Baptist faith and proud to be an American.  I’ve been married to the same good woman for almost 43 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

 

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.

 

MY REAL PRICE IS $18,999 That's what it takes 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, "I'm 67 years old and life is more than just cars".

 

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. 

 

IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS?    The underside looks good, but not sanded smooth and detailed for show. The frame, supports and bottom panels all look very good to me. The car has no real thick under coating so you can see the floors good, the back floor have been patched on the bottom, look at my pictures.

 

IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE?  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, the engine casting number on the back of the block is 361959, this is 454 cubic inch 1973 up for a few years.

 

PAINT:    The paint is very shinny, the car is straight when you look down the sides, the panel fit is pretty good, the doors close pretty good, no dents, I think there is even a ding. The top looks bad, some places has some soak through places in the right light, this is where they put the paint on too fast or too heavy and it soaks through the primer and causes a chemical pop. The top really needs repainted, but it would not bother a lot of people.  In the right light I can see where the right quarter panel has been put on. The hood and sides look good and the places will not show up in a picture. The paint looks good to most people, I'm critical and telling your everything you can not see. To make the paint very good the top needs repainted.

 

CHROME:      The chrome and bright work all looks good to me, the bumpers have no dulling and no rusty pits. The emblems are good, the front fender emblems say 396, but the engine is a 454, you can change them easy you don't like them.

 

INTERIOR:   No smoke smell, the seat covers are good, the carpet good, the door panels good, the headliner good (it is not original material and has a tiny punched hole, the dash pad is nice..

 

RADIO: Empty hole, put what you like in.

  

UNSERSIDE:    Solid, but not painted shinny to put mirrors under at the car show. I think the floors are original, but the back bottoms have been patched.

 

GLASS:    The side glasses roll up and down good and look good, the windshield good with 1 1.5 inch wiper mark, the back window has several sand marks.

 

ENGINE:    Engine runs very good, its a 454 cubic inch with casting numbers 361959, it has a 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor and is very clean, it has no real bad leaks, no knocks or pings.

 

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  Dual exhaust in extra good condition, the mufflers look and sound like Flow Masters to me, the tail pipes turn town just behind the muffler.

 

TRANSMISSION:   Its a Turbo 350 that shifts good.

 

REAR-END:     It has no bearing noises, no growls, its a 10 bolt, I have not checked the gearing, but its just right, you can drive it on the road, it no crazy low ratio.

 

BRAKES:  Good with a power booster, dis on the front and drums on the rear

 

STEERING:   The cars drives very good, it is power steering.

 

WHEELS AND TIRES:      Rally wheels that are in nice condition, the tires are not radials, they look good, but do not ride good, I would put new tires on, but these are usable.

 

LIGHTS:     They work, turn signals work, headlights work, tail lights work, brake lights work, dome light not working, turn signal and high beam indicators work on the dash, dash night lights are not working.

 

GUAGES:   Gas gauge works and the others are in a pod under dash and work.

 

WIPERS WORK! SPEEDOMETER WORKS! The dash cluster was a sweep type and now is a Super Sport round type.

 

HEATER: Past owner was going to put in Vintage heat and air so the inside heater box is not in the car, it has a heater core with the hoses hooked up, but no box under the dash. The out side box and fan are in place. "If you are not going to put heat and air on the car you will have to do some work.

 

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE and panel fit?    I think the doors fit and open very good, the hood and trunk fit good for the year.

 

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!

 

TO MAKE IT SUPER CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your getting a drive and enjoy quality car that things have been changed on, its not a new car, its not a $100,000 show queen, its a good looking car outside, inside and under the hood. Its a very fair price, 1970 Super Sport Chevelles are crazy high. I will have not problem selling this car, most guys would ask at least $25,000 at car show, if you come inspect it like a driver quality you will be very happy, if you come inspect it like a show queen you will find the things I told up above. I like for people to come inspect, beware of buying from pictures, you can be fooled real fast. My price is fair and real.

 

WHY DON'T I FIX EVERYTHING: It runs the cost up and I have too many projects.

 

 

 TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just to hard!

 

**************I DO NOT SHOW CARS ON SUNDAY AND I'M HARD TO GET ON THE PHONE, PLEASE EMAIL ON SUNDAY!**************

 

The rest of the information is boring unless you are really interested in buying the car, its just buying details like shipping, paperwork, who I am, where the car is located and how to pay and contact information.

 

CONTACT INFO: my cell is 423-506-8987, I do not answer when driving, while meeting with people, after about 8:00 PM Eastern Time or on Sunday. Please leave a voice mail and I’ll get back. I do check my emails several times a day.

     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 Tennessee licensed/bonded car dealer and have sold cars all over the US and exported many.

 

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 SALE ON THE LOCAL MARKET.

 

WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED:  The car is here at my garage in Athens, Tennessee. Athens is in east Tennessee, we are 50 miles south of  Knoxville. Look at a Road Atlas and follow interstate 75 south from Knoxville. I live one mile and one turn from the interstate exit. My zip code is 37303. The closest large airport is Knoxville. Athens does have a good small airport, but has no commercial flights.

 

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 US or overseas.

   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 Athens, Tennessee is 37303. I live 1 mile off a major interstate (I-75) and 35 miles south of interstate 40,  so transport is usually very fast.

 

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 US Federal Reserve, this is called wire

                        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 $18,999, I am firm and asking more on the local market. 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 LOT OF NERVE AND PLEASE DON’T BE A CRY BABY if you don't come and inspect the car.

 

Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info.

 

Thank You,

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla sells Model S 85 and 70D in Malaysia, Chevy Spark EV built using clean energy

Mon, May 18 2015

Tesla will send Model S 70D and Model S 85 EVs to Malaysia for leasing to government-linked companies. Only those companies will have access to the models as a two-year lease, which will be imported and leased by Malaysian Green Technology Corporation. The plan is part of an initiative by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water to allow government officials and other influential people to get to know the electric vehicles and the benefits that come along with them. Most of the 120 vehicles available will be the 70D model, and the lessee companies will have the option to purchase the cars at the end of the two years. Read more from Paul Tan's Automotive News. Wanxiang is hosting students from Delaware in China as part of a program to learn Mandarin and visit schools and science and technology sites. Wanxiang, the auto parts company that acquired Fisker (which had manufacturing based in Delaware) and battery maker A123 Systems, will give the students tours of its solar technology facilities, among other places, and see what daily life is like for families in the region. The program helps students interested in science and technology to foster marketable skills — like learning a foreign language — that will help them get jobs in industries around the world.

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
