Thomasville, North Carolina, United States
Car has power windows, pdl,tilt wheel,A/C,AM/FM,CD stereo with remote, 4 spkrs (2 in dash 2 behind curtain) this car is pretty close to being new from front to back.I have spent over $12,000 in this car restoring it in parts and materials alone not including labor. I have most of the receipts, I misplaced a few but will try to list what has been done to this car. Mechanical: new GM crate motor 350/350 horse cam & lifters, new edelbrock performance RPM intake w/endurashine,new edelbrock 600 cfm carb w/electric choke and A/C solenoid and edelbrock chrome valve covers and air cleaner, chrome alternator and brackets, new CARQUEST battery and custom made battery cables, transmission has all new seals and gaskets installed, tranny shop said it looked great inside, new hurst shifter, new steering gear and p/s hoses, new ball joints and control arm bushings,idler arm,pitman arm,sway bar bushings in front of car, added rear sway bar to car, Gabriel red rider shocks in front, Gabriel airshocks in rear (car came factory with rear airshocks) new all aluminum radiator and new water pump, A/C system new condenser,accumulator,orfice tube, hoses,compressor was replaced 3 yrs ago, A/C works great. Interior: new carpet complete front to back including curtain behind the seat, sound deadner was applied to the floor before jute and carpet were installed, new seal plates were installed at same time, new headliner,seat recovered,new dash bezel and cover, new door panels and arm rest pads, new stereo system,new steering wheel,new heater and A/C control panel, new bulbs thru out cabin and dash, new fuel gauge and sending unit as well as a new gas tank. Body: new hood, new R/F fender,new tailgate, new bumpers F &R,new bed corner and tailgate moulding, new chrome grille and bezels,all emblems were removed and painted on underneath the clear just like stripes on hood, car is very straight and slick,its not a show car although people say it is, but I have high standards since I do the work myself. The car does draw attention everywhere we drive it. This was a 98% rustfree car to begin with, only had a small spot about the size of a quarter in the bed that was surface rust and was spot blasted and treated before anything else was done. The car has custom dual exhaust w/original manifolds, no headers,no cats, has a deep mellow sound not too loud. The wheels are new American Racing Hopster polished 17 x 7 on the front, 17 x 8 on the rear, the tires are Nito (235/45/17 front: 255/45/17 rear) the color is butternut yellow w/black SS stripes on the hood, frame was painted with pore 15 black epoxy paint. new windshield and driver side glass, all new weather stripping. I am sure I am forgetting a lot that has been done but if you have any questions please email me. I have owned this car since 2008 and have enjoyed it, but I have a new project so this one has to go to a new home. The car is fun and dependable. It was originally two tone gold on top and brown at the bottom, but was completely repainted except for the inside floor pans, they are still original color. All receipts for parts and materials will go w/the car, the ones I have total up to almost $12,000 and that is just parts, doesn't include any labor. Thanks For Looking.. The only problem I know to exist with the car is the oil gauge will stick occasionally but starts back to working... the back glass has a rattle if you hit a bump or rough road.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
