History of the car to the best of my knowledge:
The original owner of the car was from Alabama and he was incarcerated back in the late seventies. Vehicle was stored in a warehouse with the rest of his belongings, until he died in prison in 2002. His family members divided his belongings and his daughter inherited it and then sold it to an older gentleman in Georgia (He was 60 years old in 2002), registered it as an antique vintage vehicle and drove it only a few hundred miles a year. I bought it from him last year and registered it in Alabama as a Vintage car as well.

Numbers Matching car (Original Engine/ Transmission)
Low original mileage (26K miles)
Original Interior
Original wheels, hub caps, and wheel trim.
Original Carburetor.
Always used 93 Octane gas in it

 

The vehicle is always been registered as an Antique Vintage vehicle since it came out of storage in 2002, limiting the mileage and usage to a few hundred miles a year. It has also been insured by American Collectors insurance company in the amount of $30,000. The car has always been started and driven occasionally to keep it in a running condition. Always been Alabama and Georgia Vehicle, never been north. Paint is glossy as you can see in the pictures but during storage, the car wasn't covered, so you will be able to see scratches, paint chips, etc when you are close to the car. Front speakers are in-op, tried to replace them but I cracked the top dashpad in the process, so I left it as is.

FAQ:

Q: Any frame rust?
A: No, Frame is free of rust. Got to see undercarriage to appreciate.

Q: Any rust on the floor panels?
A: No, the floor panels are made of fiberglass in the 1974 and older vehicles. So no rust, and no chance of rust in the future.

Q: Headlights go up and down? Low beam/ high beam work? 
A: Yes 

Q: Wipers work?
A: Yes

Q: I live in x State, that is about xxx miles away from you, can I drive it home?
A: I would drive it anywhere. Tune up is recommended before thousands of miles trip.

Q: Is the car in perfect condition?
A: Car is in good original condition, but don't expect a brand new 39 years old car, and don't expect a fully restored car, car runs and drives with no major problems but you may need to take care of minor issues like o'clock in-op, hazy taillights, and some guage lights in-op. Be realistic about what you expect and Please don't bid if you don't know what you getting yourself into.

Q: Does the car have a title?
A: Alabama State like many other States registered the cars before 1975 and never titled them. You will receive current Original (not a copy) Alabama Registration, and a bill of sale. If your State requires titling, then you will get a title issued in your name when you take the documnets to the DMV/ tag office. 

Q: Would you consider trades?
A: No, I need the cash.

Q: What is the MPG?
A: About 18 MPG.

Q: Can I use it as a everyday car?
A: It would make a good everyday car, a good collectable car, or it can be used as a good platform for a nut to bolt restoration.

All welcome to come take a look and test drive the car.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have to the best of my knowledge,

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
