If you are looking for a one owner, unmolested, near original, low mile, RUST FREE, clean 70's Chevy, then this one is for you.
Background:
I bought this car from the owners son 10 years after the owner died. It was sitting in a garage since his death. While going through the paperwork, I discovered a Jasper rebuilt engine had been installed in 1992 by a local Chevrolet dealer at 53,583 miles. I bought the car with 53,893 miles and at present, the odometer reads 54,472 miles. The owner took this car to a Chevrolet dealer for practically all repairs with exception of exhaust where the dealer sublet to Midas Muffler. Significant documentation was found in the glovebox to verify repairs, mileage, and chain of ownership. A very impressive and rare find.
Clean up:
I replaced the org. points distributor w/ HEI, battery, fuel pump, plugs and wires, and all four tires, treated the gas in the tank and sent it out to be thoroughly cleaned by a professional detail shop. It came back looking like a new car, however, somewhere in the process the radio knobs were stripped out so I replaced with new repro knobs.
General condition:
Clean interior, carpet is in great shape, seats are above average(no rips), headliner has 5 BB size holes from mice
Clean body, one small dent in upper right front fender (see pic), small paint chips behind left door (see pic), vinyl top is flawless, chrome literally looks brand new
Amazingly sound mechanically, stock exhaust(no rust through), Jasper re-manufactured engine with less than 1000 miles, A/C is all there but needs recharged, brand new tires on stock rims with orig Corvette style hubcaps, new battery(Interstate green), new style HEI distributor(org distributor is in trunk), org spare,
Bottom line:
Driving this car is like stepping back into the early 70's. If you would like to buy a nostalgic Chevy to go to cruise-ins, car shows, or just enjoy an evening ride, this car needs nothing and will turn heads wherever you take it. No worries, no disappointments.
THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY RUST FREE!

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
