The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"original unrestored, everything works. modified with 3 speed hurst. will run the pants off any V6! new tires, clutch, brakes. dent in RF & LF fenders near front hood, drivers door has dent from snow bank which should pop back out. key assy. on steer column broken, gas tank fill spout cracked at tank connection, key assy. missing trunk, all new electrics on engine but needs stem seals. upholstery bad. gets 21 mpg. at 70 mph. never painted, no restoration. I have used it infrequently as a daily driver but have no real reason to keep it. I own a tow company and will tow (roll back deck) to Boise Id. or La Grande Or. at standard rate or flat bid. I do not believe the speedometer has turned over as I've known the car since early 80's. I believe the engine to be a 230 or 235, I havn't gotten the hang of litre's yet."

I think everything is covered in  ''condition'' but I will say it runs like a top and will outrun my new chevy Tahoe!,  with the crack in the fill spout you don't fill the tank all the way but I am assuming whoever buys this for the min. bid is going to do some work on it, I don't think you will be disappointed except for the exterior paint and the interior.  The fender dents where the hood meets on the front are pretty sharp.  The car spent about 13 years in Seattle and it's earlier life was on the East coast where I understand it had two carbureators on it but when the gas crunch hit in '73 he had a gas sipper carb put back on it with this intake manifold  and I havn't done a thing to it and the mileage is the best I've ever gotten with a car I owned.  The car has been parked here at the ranch since about 1986 and I've used it off and on for a daily driver.  I now have a '72 chevy van which I use when I have to have a alternate car but I would sure miss this Nova and truly do not care if it sells or not as I think I mabey should of listed it in Hemmings anyway.   The engine uses oil due I believe to stem seals.  The engine is certainly original OEM and I am quite sure the head has never been off it.  It's always had good brakes.  The new tires are a smaller diameter on the front end.  the new clutch and brakes probably have 3-5k miles on them, most all freeway but new was about 1998!  I believe I had a new exhaust put on it, I just don't recall when, mabey if I go back out there and look I could figure it out?  it sounds quiet though.  The previous owner came from Puerto Rico and was a film/documentary producer who didn't get along with Geraldo!,  he was no hot rod but put the dents in the fender driving back to capitol hill (seattle) from Bogies in the rain!

  E mail me and I'll answer anything else.   I havn't gotten this E bay thing down yet but as for payment and shipping....... well, if you want to come look at it that's fine or if you want me to haul this to boise or La Grande, (or further?) we can work out a payment method and fee.  I'll need some heads up to get this out on the street as it's blocked by a dozer with a xmission problem, this also ensures it isn't stolen!

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans 

Thu, Apr 30 2020

Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.
