This car was purchased new by Oscar W. Burgess of Plains, Virginia from Fairway Chevrolet Buick in Warrenton, Virginia on May 14, 1964 as indicated on the original Owner's Card which is included with the car.  He kept the car until his death and then the car was transferred to Helen Marie Ray his Daughter of Savage, Maryland on April of 1974.  The last time the car was state inspected prior to her ownership was on November 29, 1972 with a documented 7,034 miles.  All Virginia State Inspections are included with the car documenting the mileage from 1964 through 1972.  The Daughter also retained Maryland State Inspection receipts through the time she sold the car on November 05, 2001 to Charles S. Butler of York, Pennsylvania with 8,786 miles on it. I purchased the car with 9,974 miles which is stated on the bill of sale and Title Assignment as True and Actual Miles.  I had the pleasure of driving the car to 10,001 miles which is the actual miles on the car today.

The original tires and dish hubcaps are included with the car.  I have a new set of correct size Radial tires on the car with new OEM  correct full wheel covers on the car now.  The original tires and dish hubcaps are in perfect shape but with the tires being almost 50 years old I would not want to drive long distances on them but they are perfect for showing the car 

The car runs perfectly.  Starts first time every time.  The 3-speed shifts very tightly just like it did when new with no play of any kind.  The clutch engages perfectly.  The steering is tight as it was new with no play at all.  The brakes stop straight and true with no pulling to either side.  All lights work perfectly including the license plate and backup lights.  The high and low beams work perfectly.  The windshield wipers work perfectly with no skipping or streaking.  All windows roll up and down perfectly.  All doors open, close and seal perfectly.  The original tube radio and speakers play perfectly also.  All gauges including the gas gauge work perfectly also.  This car has no mechanical defects.

All paint is 100% original and looks and shines as new.  All bright metal trim is original and there are no pitting or blemishes.  The interior is 100% original and truly looks new also.  All rubber sills around windshield, back glass, windows, doors, etc. are original and are in perfect condition also.  The only place that there are a couple of chips in the paint are at the side of the driver side door sill from getting in and out of the car please look at the photo but they are so small that they barely show.

I have the original Owner's Card from Fairway Chevrolet Buick, the Original Warranty Registration from General Motors,  receipts for maintenance for the car for many years, Original State Inspection Certificates documenting the mileage from both VA and PA. Original Automobile Liability Insurance Service Card issued to Mr. Burgess in 1964,  Original Owner's Guide and Seat Belt Instructions in the original Plastic folder, and much more that will be given to the new purchaser.

I also have a 1964 Corvair ship manual supplement.

The car can be picked up at my home or I will be glad to assist with shipping but Purchaser is to pay all shipping cost. 

I require a $500.00 deposit by PayPal at the conclusion of the auction.  The balance is due within 5 days from the auctions close.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
