I have personally owned this car for 20 years. For the last 23 years I have owned 2 car lots, sold 12,000 cars, and kept 3 for myself. This is one of them. I'm going to sell the car with NO RESERVE. I apologize to all the people who begged, pleaded, left messages, cards, etc...to call them if I ever decided to sell it. This is the only fair way to sell it.
The car drives fantastic. The clutch is smooth, the motor purrs & it goes down the road straight as an arrow. I've replaced the carburetor, clutch, tires, brake calipers and have had the M21 & the posi differential rebuilt (I believe the gears are 3.55:1). I have enjoyed driving the car in it's current cosmetic state, for 20 years. It has been a joy parking wherever I wanted, without concern for getting a nick or a scratch. My 4 kids have enjoyed climbing into the front seat like Batman & Robin.
This is arguably one of the most iconic muscle cars ever produced. I've enjoyed the unrestored condition of the car, far more than any of the other restored classics that I have owned. Nick Nolte would be proud. You can drive it just the way it is, or restore it. Please don't compare this completely rust free car with anything else from the Midwest or East coast. Despite what those owners say, those cars will be rust buckets. The top mechanism functions perfectly. I never drive the car in the rain, so I never got around to installing the brand new top (included). When I replaced the gas tank, I saved the original tank sticker...unfortunately, my wife threw it away (it was stored in a mid 70's Penthouse magazine I had. The motor (not original) operates flawlessly (perfect cold start, no tick tick, smoke, etc...) It idles perfectly smooth. I always fantasized about building a ridiculously powerful replacement, but this one never ever gave me any reason to change it. Of course a perfectionist would want a mirror paint job...Whenever anyone commented about my paint quality, I always asked them, "What color is your 1969 Stingray?" This car's paint is faded. I believe most of the car has it's original paint, based on the vintage hand painted pinstripes (sans some brush touchup & the drivers door has been repainted. Of course you are going to have to tinker with a few things on a 44 year old classic (that's the fun part). I'm also including the ignition wire dress kit, that originally routed the wires, and covered the distributor. I am not suggesting that the 73,252 miles are original. I believe the original motor was a 300hp 350ci.
This is a NO RESERVE auction...please don't ask me to end the auction early. If you have ZERO or recent negative feedback, please contact me before you bid, or I will cancel your bid. If you don't have the money, or need to talk to your mommy (or daddy) before you buy, please refrain form bidding. I have extensive experience shipping cars all over the country. Email me for a shipping quote.
If you have any specific questions or require other specific photos or video, text me (Cory) at 206-817-2653, and I will forward them to your smart phone.
ULTIMATE FATHER'S DAY GIFT or this will make a wonderful heirloom.

Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City
Mon, Jan 8 2018Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3
2019 Chicago Auto Show photo gallery: All of the grilles
Fri, Feb 8 2019Do you like trucks? How about grilles? Like really big, shiny, chromey, in-your-face, could-be-made-by-Broil-King grilles? Well, the Chicago Auto Show is the place to be. Traditionally known as the truck show of the annual auto show circuit (at least those covered by national media), Chicago has what seems like a small national park's worth of acreage devoted to both consumer and commercial trucks. From humble extended cab Ford Rangers to a mammoth F-650 with cherry picker sprouting from its aft quarters, there's bound to be a truck for everything. And they all have grilles. So above is our gallery devoted to them, because hell, why not? Should you want to know about the trucks attached to those grilles, check out our coverage below.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
