First off, this is the personal vehicle of a 75 year old female friend of mine. She purchased this car when a close friend of hers died at age 95 in 1989.  She is now the 2nd owner. The car was garaged it's entire life with the exception of 3 years when it was simply in a carport. When I tell you this car RUNS and DRIVES like a brand new base model car, that is no exaggeration. I was driving it to my home doing about 45 and I braked HARD and the car did not pull or deviate from a straight path.  I booted it from a stop sign (just to see) and it smoked the tire for about 20 feet.  Runs great!  Shifts perfectly. Tires like new. Exhaust IS new. There is not a rippled panel on this car and not a door ding or scratch evident.  There IS rust starting in a few spots (pictured) and the rear fender wells at the bottom are rotted (ALL spots easily contained and easily repaired).  I banged all over the frame and it appears solid. The engine, tranny and ANY running gear have NEVER been touched or removed from the car. ALL original to the car.  The carb has been changed but the choke activated like it was new.  There is an aftermarket radio (plain jane) that plays well.  Crank windows, NO AC, no power nuthin but DOES have power steering cuz it drives AWESOME.  She has the metal GM plate that was issued with the car, the original manual, she even has every registration to the car since new (along with some McDonalds bags folded up in case she needed a rubbish bag).  If you were to put maybe up to a grand in new panels and paint and a new seat cover that a DOZEN places online list them for $239-279 COMPLETE, you'd have one heck of a nice dependable CLASSIC unmolested car. Trunk is solid with no rust, even at the spring towers.  I'm telling you this is a real survivor.  On the drive to my house from hers, the FIRST turn I took onto the main road.......FIRST turn I had a guy gawking and giving me the thumbs up.  Just a nice nice example of a car that LITERALLY was driven by two little old ladies.  Don't miss this chance.  I told her I'd offer it as an "auction" with the understanding that it IS being offered at a local Hot Rod Shop on their lot, so don't mess around.  If it sells there, the auction ends!  At her request I put a "buy it now" of $7500.  Contact me if you want to make a buy it now offer and I will propose it to her. She wants this SOLD so get serious.  Fly in to Worcester MA and I'll pick you up to see it if you want.  Ask questions and I'll be 100% honest, not only cuz of my 100% Ebay rating, but cuz I have no interest in it's sale, other than to help an elderly friend (and I am quite the car nut).  Again, good luck.   Fran

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu

Tue, Jul 28 2015

The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way. Related Video: GM Paving Way to Smarter and Safer Driving at All-New Active Safety Test Area 22 crash-avoidance technologies offered on 2016 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models MILFORD, Mich. 2015-07-24 – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will offer 22 different active safety technologies across their 2016 model year U.S. lineups, ranging from driver alerts to those that automatically intervene and assist the driver in critical situations. Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
