Update 1/11/14 10:00 pm. I've had people asking about rust, so I went down and pulled the floor mats out of it and checked it out. The subframe looks good. I didn't find any rust problems there. The floor is still pretty solid, but it does have some rust through. Both rear floors - at the fee of the back seat occupants, have an inch or so diameter hole. On the driver's side someone has drilled a couple holes and strung a wire through it to hold up the exhaust system -- pretty fancy! The driver's side front had flakey surface rust, but I didn't find any rust out. The pass. side front is by far the worst. The bottom edge where the firewall and floor meet has come lose due to rust. There is also several rust out holes all across it. It could possibly use a pan, but I believe it's repairable without one. I wouldn't use a pan on either of the back floors. If it'll let me add a picture or two of the rust I'll do so. The upper door hinge on the right front door is broken.  Also, where the window frame attaches on the top, back of the door it has come lose. There is a significant dent on the pass. side rear door as well, and a dent on the right rear quarter. The glass is all there except the pass. front door glass and the tailgate glass. It has an inline 6 engine in it and a bell housing, but the transmission is gone.  Keep asking questions...


This is one of several cars I hauled in a couple years ago so I don't know very much about it. Basically, what you see is what you get.  I can take additional pictures and check out specific items for you if you're interested.  It sat in an unprotected, abandoned storage area behind a dealership for at least 30 years. It's actually a pretty straight old car with, in my opinion, a huge amount of potential.  I just don't have the time, ability, and interest to do anything with it. While loading it to bring it in, its bad passenger-side front door got tweaked and the door glass shattered. The windshield has a couple chips in it, but it could be used as is.

Please do your homework before bidding on this non-running vehicle.  I live just outside Blanding, UT, 84511 and it is pricey and difficult to get a shipper in here.  More than likely, shipping it any distance will cost you more than what you will probably be able to get the car for.  Assuming we don't get a lot of snow or rain, we should be able to get the car out without too much difficulty, especially with a good winch or roll-back. If weather does intervene, there is no problem with leaving it where it sits for some time.

This is a no-reserve auction, so, obviously, my starting price of $700 means that if I get one bid for that amount, then the car will sell.  I have no idea if I'm in the ballpark, so I'll let you, the buyers, decide what it's worth. If it's not worth that much to someone, then I'll have to reassess it and go from there.

I want a $200 deposit through Paypal within 48 hours of the close of the auction and then we can determine how the rest is to be paid off, depending on your pick up plans and so forth.

Once again, I only know what I've told you and what I can physically see about the car. I can take more pictures as needed or go down and check out specific parts/issues. Also, if you're in the vicinity and have interest, by all means, come and check it out yourself. Either email me through Ebay or call 435-459-0591 to discuss it or get more information.

I have a clear Utah title to it.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz

Sinkhole Opens Up In National Corvette Museum, Swallows Eight Cars

Wed, Feb 12 2014

More cars are being moved inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. to avoid falling down the same sinkhole that swallowed eight classic sports cars early this morning, Autoblog reported. Museum officials said the hole was discovered when motion sensors activated around 5:45 a.m. The rescue mission can be viewed on the museum's live feed cameras, which weren't working after the sinkhole emerged. A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," both on loan from General Motors, were among the cars that fell into the sinkhole. The museum owned the other affected Corvettes, which included a 1963 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car and the 1 millionth Corvette ever produced. The state of the cars at the bottom of the hole isn't known, but trial lawyer and sinkhole expert Ted Corless said the cars may be a total loss for the museum and GM. "Most states, including Kentucky, exclude damage caused by sinkhole activity," he said. "There will be, in all likelihood, a claim made, but a lot of policies would specifically exclude these kinds of damages." Corless has 15 years experience dealing with sinkholes. He said that typically neither the building, nor the cars themselves are protected under their insurance policies. "I would have to say, more likely then not, they're going to have an uninsured loss measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars." The museum is closed Wednesday while a structural engineer assesses the damage.
