You are looking at a true survivor.  This is a great original condition two owner car that has always been in the same family.  A father to son situation.  The paint is not original, but is the original color and as you can tell by the pictures, it was done very well.  This was not a cheap respray.  There is no bondo on this car.  The car is very drivable and would make an excellent weekend or daily driver as is.  If you chose to make it a show car it would be an easy restoration.  The only known defects are as follows...

  •  The dash clock is not currently functional
  •  There are a few dings along the passenger side of the body (I did the best I could to show those in the pics)
  •  This is a factory AC car, but the system could use charging.  It's not blowing as cold as it should (but since it's February, it wasn't a priority at the moment)

I would consider this excellent considering it is a 42 year old vehicle!

This car started out as a CO car, but spent most of it's life as a Florida car.  The pictures pretty much tell the story.  My loss of storage space is your gain!  Someone is going to get an amazing deal on this car!!!

The car is also available locally through several other sources of media and I reserve the right to end the auction at any point.  If you are serious about it, I would highly suggest the buy it now, this car will get a lot of activity and if I get a good local offer it's gone, since I could use the space!

Terms:

A non refundable deposit will be due within 24 hours of the end of the auction through Paypal, unless you are local and paying in cash.  The remainder of the payment will need to be made either by cash in person if you are local or coming in to pick it up, or by check drawn on a bank where there is a reasonably local branch where I can cash the check and have cash in hand before it leaves my property or goes on a truck.  I have also used Escrow.com in the past and would be willing to consider that option and split the escrow fee (which is minimal)

Please serious inquiries only.  Please only bid if you have your funds available.  I am not willing to hold the car. 

If you need a ride from the airport to pick it up, I can probably help with that.  If you need to ship the car, I can refer you to some carriers that I've used successfully in the past.  Shipping would of course be at your expense, but I am willing to do everything possible to facillitate the delivery.

Please ask any questions prior to bidding.  If you want to make an offer, I'm always willing to listen to reasonable offers.  The worst I can say is no, so don't be shy.

Title is in hand.

Check my feedback, it's all good.  

Thanks for looking. Good luck and happy bidding!!!

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06

Tue, Nov 25 2014

The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.
