1964 Chevy Ii, 2 Door Sedan - Great Daily Driver.... Drive Her Home.... on 2040-cars
United States
1964 Chevy II, 2 door sedan, 100 Series, 194 cu. in. 6 cylinder, automatic, power steering, power brakes - all matching numbers, with 45,005 original miles (documented) A dependable daily driver that is in great shape for a 50 year old classic - She is a real head turner - Recent updates include all new brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, rebuilt power brake booster, new upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends, new water pump, new carburetor, all new engine gaskets and 4 new white wall radial tires. Radiator was flushed, transmission strainer cleaned - all new fluids & no fluid leaks - recently tuned (points, condenser and plugs) Compression test revealed over 110 psi on each cylinder and within +/- tolerances. Based upon her condition I believe she has been garaged for most of her life, as she is right now - I have the original owners’ manual and warranty book that came with the car in 1964 - I am the 3rd owner. She is straight and true and as best as I can tell she has never been in a major accident - She has new window and door gaskets, floor pans and has had some minor rust repair done over the years - There is no visible rust or rust through anywhere on the car - She was re-painted at some point in her 50 years and is still the original color that matches the factory paint code. She drives straight down the road, shifts perfectly, stops on a dime, has plenty of power with no hesitation and has no shimmies or shakes even at 75 mph - She’s not perfect by any means but she is the great car for someone who wants a fun, dependable classic – She would be great for the first time classic car buyer or someone who doesn’t work on cars because she needs nothing done mechanically to drive her…. She does have some minor body imperfections - the passenger door has a paint blend that doesn’t quite match perfectly where a small dent was repaired and she has the usual small chips here and there found on any 50 year old daily driver. She is not a show car and is not priced like one…But... Everything works and unlike most sellers, I can honestly state that this car is strong enough and safe enough to drive her home from Southwest Florida to anywhere here in the states. I will gladly help the new buyer coordinate shipping by carriers or by container if shipped outside the USA (at the buyers cost of course). The last classic car I sold was a 68 Ford Falcon that was shipped to Queensland, Australia and the new owners loved the condition of my car…. I have over $14,000 invested but you can buy her now for only $12,500 - I will consider all “Reasonable Offers” throughout this auction but offensively low bids will be automatically refused - Please understand that I am in no rush to sell her - You just don’t find daily drivers like this in such good mechanical condition - I plan to hold out for the best offer or wait to sell her locally where she is also being advertised…. NOTE: She is being sold as-is and where-is - there is no warranty or guarantee that comes with the car - The buyer must pay $500 deposit immediately via PayPal - The balance is to be paid via certified check within 3 business days -The check must clear my bank before the clear title will be signed over and the car released (approx. 5 banking days) Please note: I will not sell to anyone in Mexico or Central America because of the scams coming from these regions…. Thanks for looking… Gary W. |

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM.
