HELLO,

YOUR LOOKING AT A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL BARN FIND, A STRAIGHT 1959 CHEVROLET KINGSWOOD STATION WAGON. I AM SELLING THIS '59 FOR A FRIEND, THE OWNER WANTS TO SELL NOW. (please don't bid if your not a serious buyer)  I CAN NOT RESTORE THIS '59 AS HE HOPED BECAUSE I HAVE THREE 59'S IN FRONT OF IT AND THE OWNER CAN NOT WAIT ANY LONGER TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS ONE. 

AS THE STORY GOES, THIS CAR WAS RESCUED FROM A FARM BACK IN KANSAS IN 2004. THE CAR LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN RETIRED IN THE LATE 60's WITH OIL TAGS SHOWING SOME MILEAGE HISTORY. ( SHOWING 87,181 NOW ~ TITLE SHOWS 87,000! ) SO IT HAS SAT FOR A GOOD 40 YEARS BEFORE THE CLEAN UP. IT IS A NEAT TIME CAPSULE AS IT SITS. THE CAR THEN SAT IN STORAGE FOR YEARS WAITING FOR A TOTAL RESTORATION TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD EVER SINCE. THIS CAR IS A OVERALL VERY STRAIGHT, ORIGINAL, MAINLY A UNRESTORED CAR, SCREAMING FOR A TOTAL RESTORATION, OR JUST TO LEAVE IT "AS IS" A ORIGINAL CAR WITH THE PATINA PAINT CLASSIC.

THIS IS A ORIGINAL UNALTERED CAR, OR NOT A PIECED TOGETHER FROM 5 CARS '59 KINGSWOOD, WHICH ARE GETTING VERY - VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS TYPE OF OVERALL UNALTERED ORIGINAL CONDITION.  KEPT INSIDE AT A SECURE HEATED FACILITY WITH OTHER CLASSIC CARS IN A COLLECTION. THE OLD OWNER STARTED A RESTORATION IN 2004 WITH SOME DISASSEMBLY OF THE INTERIOR AND MAIN DASH COMPONETS, A TOTAL RESTORATION WAS PLANNED THEN AND THEN HE STOPPED, DUE TO OWNERS CHANGE OF MIND IN BUYING ANOTHER CLASSIC CAR.

THE OWNER DECIDING TO NOW SELL IT AS OF APRIL 2014, ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE THEN CLEANED AND PUT BACK IN PLACE BY THE OWNER, SO THE RESTORATION WILL BE A EASY ONE, IF THAT IS YOUR GOAL, OR YOU GET A VERY CLEAN GENERALLY UNRESTORED CAR WITH MOST ALL THE PATINIA STILL SHOWING, WHICH IS VERY COOL!  THE JAMS AND ALL SEAMS ARE CLEAN AND NICE ORIGINAL PAINT COLORS INSIDE AND OUT. THE MAIN BODY PAINT HAD A RE-PAINT WAY BACK IN THE EARLY SIXTIES AND THE PATINA HAS TAKEN PLACE SINCE THEN. SOME FADE MIST TOUCH UP TO THE BARE SPOTS HAS NOW BEEN DONE FOR PROTECTION OF BARE METAL, BUT THE OVERALL CAR IS CLEAN AND NEVER BEEN TRULY RESTORED, ONLY CLEANED AND DETAILED.

THE ONLY SPOTS THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED "IN THE PAST" ARE THE LOWER REAR QUARTERS AND A FEW DINGS HERE AND THERE, WHICH HAD SOME SCRATCH & DING DAMAGE AND RESPOTED IN. HAS SOME PIN HOLES AND SOME FEATHER BONDO AREAS WITH OLD PAINT SPOTED OVER. INSPECTION SHOWS NO BAD ACCIDENT DAMAGE, OR REPLACEMENT METAL WORK, JUST FEATHER BONDO REPAIR FOR SOME DINGS AND SOME POUND OUTS WITH SOME DENTS AS SHOWN. 

OVERALL THE CAR IS A VERY SOLID '59 ESPECIALLY IN THE MOST ALL CRITICAL 59 SPOTS.  THE ONLY REAL "RUST OUTS" NOW ARE IN THE "LOWER ONLY" FLAT FLOOR PANS, ON ALL 4 MAIN PANS, ONLY AT THE LOWEST POINTS- AS SHOWN IN PICTURES. (PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS!) THE FLOOR SPOTS ARE A VERY EASY FIX FOR A RESTORATION SHOP, AS NO BODY SUPPORTS OR FRAME SUPPORTS ARE NEEDED, JUST LOWER PRE-STAMPED PANS DROPPED IN THERE. WE LEFT THIS AS IS TO SHOW THE ORIGINAL CONDITION TO THE NEW OWNER. THE UPPER, INNER, OUTER, ROCKERS AND FLOOR SEAMS, ARE ALL SOLID AND BEAUTIFUL CLEAN & RUST FREE. THERE IS A LITTLE RUST IN THE UPPER REAR ROOF DRAIN DRIP RAIL, INNER BEHIND MOLDING, AND HAS BEEN NOTED. THE TOP OF THE CAR HAD NO PAINT AT ALL LEFT, ALL SUN BAKED, SO A WHITE SEALER PROTECTION FOR THE BARE METAL WAS APPLIED USING POR-40 WHITE OMNI SEALER (SAME AS THE ORIGINAL COLOR), GOOD STUFF WITH A SATIN FINISH SEALER.

FRONT FENDERS ARE GREAT AND HEADLIGHT LIGHT LOWERS ARE SOLID. HEADLIGHTS WERE DISSASSEMBLED AND NEW REBUILD KIT INSTALLED FOR PROPER GLASS LENSES AIMING. 3 ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT T-3's ARE STILL THERE! REAR TAIL LIGHTS ARE GUIDE 59 ORIGINALS ALSO.  

PLEASE NOTE: WHAT DO YOU WANT?

THE CAR CAME WITH A 283 V8 (code is from a 1964 Chevelle SS) & a late AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THAT IS NOT RUNNING AND OUT OF THE CAR CURRENTLY. THE WORD WAS IT WAS RUNNING WHEN PARKED, 1969?, IT DOES NOT TURN OVER NOW - STUCK FROM SITTING. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS A LATE AUTOMATIC REBUILT IN MID 80'S, MILES? AS old PAPERWORK IN GLOVE BOX SHOWS?. THIS MOTOR AND TRANS WILL ALL NEED GONE THREW IF YOUR GOING TO USE THEM, WE CAN SET THEM IN THERE FOR TRANSPORT IF YOU WANT THEM?. OR TAKE THE CAR, "AS IS" NOW, WITH NO ENGINE OR TRANNY IN IT.  THEN YOU CAN DROP IN A '59 BIG BLOCK 348 IN THIS WAGON TO MAKE IT A HIGHER DOLLAR ORIGINAL V8 '59! AS IT IS, IT IS FACTORY CODED A V8 KINGSWOOD WAGON.  PLEASE, LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO, TAKE WITH THE OLD MOTOR, OR NO MOTOR?

ALSO PLEASE NOTE! HE HAS AVAILIBLE A 283 V8 POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC COMPLETLY REBUILT FOR $2,000 SEPERATE, IF YOU WANT THAT OPTION ALSO, CAN SET IN PLACE ONLY?

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, HAS VERY STRAIGHT LINES AND NO MAJOR DAMAGE OR BAD 1" THICK BONDO FOUND ANYWHERE. AGAIN, THERE IS SOME MINOR BODY WORK THAT WAS DONE WAY BACK ON THE LOWER REAR 1/4 PASSENGER SIDE, BUT FROM LOOKING INSIDE WHEEL WELL AND SPARE TIRE WELL, THE METAL LOOKS STRAIGHT, AND MUST HAVE ONLY BEEN SLIGHT SCRATCH DING TYPE DAMAGE REPAIR. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED ONCE WAY BACK, AND THE PATINA IS NOW SHOWING THREW IN SPOTS AFTER SITTING SINCE THE LATE 60'S. AGAIN, THE OWNER DID NOT RESTORE THE CAR AND DECIDED TO JUST CLEAN AND RE-ASSEMBLE THE CAR.

THE FRONT END HAS A FANTASTIC ORIGINAL GRILL AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END IS SUPER STRAIGHT & CLEAN.

THE ORIGINAL STEEL CHEVROLET 1959 CORRECT NIB STEEL WHEELS ARE THE ONLY REAL RESTORED PARTS, THEY HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALY BLASTED AND PAINTED, BLACK ON THE BACK SIDE AND BLUE  ON THE FRONTS. WHITEWALLS ARE SEARS F-78-14" TIRES BIAS PLYS. OK SHAPE GOOD TREAD, NICE LOOKS, BUT OLD 80's?. THE DOORS ALL OPEN & CLOSE NICE, ALL WINDOWS OPERATE GOOD, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS ORIGINAL, NOT CRACKS OT BULLSEYES!!! THE SIDE GLASS IS ALL ORIGINAL CODED EZ-EYE, BUT FOR THE DRIVERS REAR DOOR AND WING WINDOWS. THE DASH COMPONENTS CANNOT BE TESTED BUT LOOK CLEAN, AS THE MAIN DASH WIRE HARNESS IS IN A BOX. YOU WOULD NEED TO PLUG THIS BACK IN AND REPAIR ANY NEEDED WIRES OR INSTALL A NEW HARNESS. THESE ARE REPRODUCED. DOOR PANELS WERE REINSTALLED TO SHOW CONDITION AND ALSO THE TOP METAL CAPS ARE NICE IF YOUR GETTING NEW DOOR PANELS THE REST OF THE PANEL WERE IT WAS WATER WARPED WAS REMOVED. THE DOOR UNDERSIDES ARE AS NEW FROM FACTORY CLEAN AND ORIGINAL AS SHOWN. HANDLES AND ARM REST ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH ALL SPRINGS AND PLASTIC LINERS IN PLACE.

NOTE: THE REAR POWER WINDOW WORKS WITH A BATTERY WIRED DIRECTLY TO IT, AS THE REAR WINDOW WIRE HARNESS PLUG IS OUTSIDE THE TAILGATE FOR THIS OPERATION ATTACHMENT, BY-PASSING THE MAIN HARNESS PLUG. WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN NICE. WINDOW MUST BE  DOWN TO LOWER THE TAIL GATE.

AGAIN: MOTOR & TRANNY WERE TAKEN OUT AND CAN BE SET BACK IN FOR TRANSPORTATION, NOT HOOKED UP, THEN EASY TO REMOVE IF NEEDED. FRONT END STEERING IS OK, COULUMN IS NICE, TIGHT, BUT NOTE YOU WILL NEED UPPER AND LOWER A-ARMS BUSHINGS! ALSO FRONT END BALL JOINTS WOULD BE MY GUESS.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKS GOOD TO STOP THE CAR!

WAGONS ARE BECOMING STRONG INVESTMENTS, SO PUT IT AWAY, OR RESTORE TO SHOW, OR KEEP AS IS AND HAVE FUN!

PLEASE ASK IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON ANYTHING! A NICE ORIGINAL 59 WAGON THAT'S HARD TO FIND, AND IT'S 99% ALL THERE!

Some points of interest to answer some questions people have had:


  • The '59 has a free and clear Kansas Title signed off and ready, a current bill of sale will be provided with the title, talk to me after the close.


  • The '59 has original GM key and it fits the side door locks, and the original dash ignition switch fine, Ignition switch turns and feels great in all positions and will lock ingnition. Also fits the rear tail gate lock, to operate power rear window. wont operate glove box lock? its in open position though so its ok to access. thanks


  • The '59 has had one re-paint way back in the 60's and now has some paint misting touchups over bare surface metal areas for protection during the clean up. This is only to keep the car from surface rusting in other humid areas than Colorado where it is super dry and not needed here. Nothing is being hidden, and there are no thick tar cover-ups. The detailed close-up pictures speak for themselves, PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD FIRST.


  • The '59 can sit here for a short time while you arrange your shipping and we will help with loading it on this end. If your including and want to purchase the new 283 engine & tranny, or take the stuck used 283 engine & tranny (free), you have to let us know ASAP on what we are to do for you to set these in place for your transportation. The engines & trannys will not be hooked up, just set in place on the motor mounts. Otherwise the '59 will be delivered as a no-engine & no-tranny car, or delivered as just a roller only, has a good E-Brake! 


  • Thanks



THANKS FOR LOOKING!

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.
