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.

Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.

LG Chem officially breaks ground for China EV battery plant Seoul, Korea - Oct 30, 2014 – LG Chem, Korea's leading manufacturer of advanced batteries, held a ground breaking ceremony for the construction of electric-car battery plant in Nanjing, China, to meet growing demand in the world's biggest car market.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
