They are still out there. this vet was found in a barn in 2004 by a developer who called a friend of mine who then purchased the car from the widow that owned the farm that she was selling for a housing project. my friend owned the car from 11/15/04 to 04/26/12 at which time I purchased the car. he was always going to restore the car but never did anything with it. it just set in his barn until I talked him out of it. I called the widow to talk about the car and she believed they were the second owner and she gave me the name and address of who she purchased the car from. I then called that person and found out they were the original purchaser of the vet and we had a great chat and they had sold the car to the second owner in 08/16/89. so I believe I am the 4th owner of this car and I do have copy's of 3 of the tittle transfers. the original owner called me about 6 weeks after that first conversation to tell me they had the protecta plate and wanted me to have it. I sent the car out for a complete off frame, ground up restoration, absolute no shortcuts were taken and received the car back on 09/17/12 at which time I had the car appraised. this is a genuine numbers match, date code match car. even the starter, alternator and carb are the ones the car came with, rebuilt of coarse. I did put radial tires on it so one could enjoy the ride and yes did upgrade the clock to quartz. I have put 148.1 miles on the car since the restore just to make sure all is well. decision time. if you are looking for a trailer queen just to bring to the shows this is it, if you are looking for a car to just drive to a few car shows this is it or if you are looking for a dependable driver this is it after all it would be your money. I could not drive the car and lower the value and I am not a car show guy so I could not make the decision. this car needs to go some where a lot of people can enjoy it. please ask all questions before bidding or come and inspect the car. all sales are final. cash, wire transfer or certified funds. certified fund must clear before pickup. you can email me your phone number and I will be happy to answer all questions or set up a time to view or if the question is does something work the answer is yes. yes they are out there. a original 1969, 427, 4 speed, convertible side pipe car in the original color, Daytona yellow with the protecta plate. don't pass this up.
On Jul-06-13 at 06:34:21 PDT, seller added the following information:
for all the people who do not know what a full restoration is i will try and answer all there questions here. yes the transmission was fully rebuilt and resealed, the rear differential and axels were fully rebuilt and resealed, the clutch, pressure plate an t/o bearing are new, all new brake rotors and calipers, all new springs front and rear, all new steering linkage, steering gear rebuilt and resealed, all new brake and fuel lines, engine complete rebuild with new valves, guides and seats,bearings, rings, cam,lifters, new carpet, new top, new leather seats, the entire insterment cluster sent out and rebuilt, new wiper moter and vaccuum canister, starter rebuilt, alternater rebuilt, carb rebuilt, correct glass in the car, new side pipes, new gas tank, frame sand blasted, repaired, sealed and painted. the parts with casting numbers and date codes were rebuilt rather than replaced to keep the vehicle number matching and date code correct.i hope this answers all questions and if not you should get the idea of the detail that went into this restore and if not keep sending those questions
On Jul-07-13 at 05:47:41 PDT, seller added the following information:
to answer a lot more questions at once. the car does have tilt and telescopic steering column and yes it was completely rebuilt also. all of the chrome pieces have been rechromed. the radiator, heater core and blower motor have been replaced. the suspension has been completely rebuilt all new bushings, ball joints, etc. the gear ratio is 3.70 the astro vent system has been rebuilt and I know I am missing a lot but you should get the idea no shortcuts were taken on this car. last but not least the paint job is second to none, it is drop dead beautiful. plus the sound of that big block 427 from the factory side pipes that sound has not been rebuilt, just bone chilling

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way
Wed, Mar 4 2020GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
