This is a fun car to drive! Put your surfboard in the back and head to the coast today.

I want to try and describe the vehicle condition so you know what you are bidding on after you have read this. Look at the photos. Please send questions for more info.

I bought this car from a guy that's father had it in storage for 15 years. I fixed the brakes, polished the paint, rebuilt the front end by replacing the bushings and ball joints. Fixed the oil leaks and replaced the oil cooler.

It has electronic ignition and an electric fuel pump. It seems that Californias modern fuel tends to eat the diaphrams of the manual pumps.

The four single barrel carbs could use a rebuild, but they all function.

The two speed powerglide shifts well, all gears functioning.

As stated, there is rust showing in the lower door jam (see photos), but not too bad. The doors work well, no sag, close easy and don't rattle.

No other rust that I found.

There is cracking in the front fenders paint near the windshield posts (see photos).

This is not the original paint, but have no details to go with it. A couple of dings, but overall cleans up well.

The upholstry needs to be done as the driver seat is torn (covered with a beach towel) and the back seat has damage (see photo). Or do what I did, and drive it! The carpet is OK, and there is a carpet kit in the trunk.

The dash is in excellent shape, gauges work including the working AM radio. There is an aftermarket radio installed underdash with a power amp mounted in the trunk.

Chrome is old, light lenses too. No broken glass, although the driver door glass is not installed.

14" rims and tires. See the photo, BF Goodrich with good tread left. Handles well.

The top is fresh and in great condition, but not power. It was up when I bought it, so I folded it with care and put it down. It has not been up since.

This is a garaged car and has been used little. Sunny weekend trips only.

If you want a 46 year old low production convertible to drive today, bid on this one.

What a great father / son project for a small budget. Not much to finish this right, paint and upholstry!

It really stops people to look and recall the one "my father had" or "my uncle had", always with a smile!

No smog, drives straight, steers well, stops solid (good pedal).

This is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, no returns.

Bid with confidence, but please only bid on the car if you intend to buy it. The car is for sale and will sell to the highest bidder past the low reserve.

You can pick it up after full payment, 1,000.00 made via paypal within 48 hours of winning the bid and the remainder in CASH only when you get here. No cash, no sale, no refund. If you are sending a carrier to haul the car, you can pay in full via paypal before they get here.

I have the pink slip in hand, and the tags are current.

Bid knowing that you are buying a piece of Chevrolet history!

Good luck, and thanks for bidding.

Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward

Mon, Feb 3 2014

The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application

Fri, Dec 26 2014

In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.
