Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.
Vehicle came out of Chicago. Vehicle was kept in storage for a long time, slowly receiving some restoration work here and there throughout the years when time allowed. Older redo on the body done in the late 1980s that has held up very well for a driver. Recently it has had a BRAND NEW convertible top installed as well as COMPLETELY NEW interior (seat covers, door panels, carpeting, side panels). Also has had NEW tires installed, NEW trunk mat, NEW gas tank, some NEW chrome trim and lots of other small things done.
Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. Body does NOT appear to ever have been in any major collision.
OPTIONS:
Manual steering
Manual drum brakes
Power convertible top
Dual exhaust
Fender skirts
327ci V8 motor
Automatic transmission
Stock bench seat interior
Under the hood lies a period correct 327ci 4bbl. V8 motor, driven by the stock automatic transmission on the column. Motor is mostly stock expect for an aluminum intake, Holley 4bbl. carburetor and HEI ignition for reliability. Overall it's a nice and healthy motor that fires right up, has good oil pressure and sounds great. Had it completely checked out by my mechanic and is ready to drive (I've been using it twice a month for short trips around town). Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty side exiting exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts great without any noises or grinding.
Interior is basically all stock and NEARLY BRAND NEW. Door panels are NEW. Dash is presentable with normal wear. Seats have BRAND NEW OEM covers on them. Carpet is NEW as well. Overall nicely presentable for a driver.
Underside has a ROCK SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust. Appears that the floorboards have been replaced at one time with factory panels and then heavily undercoated (job was done "ok" but could have been cleaned up nicer).
Chrome is overall presentable for a driver, with some normal pitting and small imperfections in the bumpers and side trim. Some trim is NEW like fender top ornaments, door handle guards, and various other small pieces.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in FAIR/GOOD shape throughout, with GOOD shine and although it looks good from 10-15 feet, it has a lot of small imperfections, chips/scratches/touch-ups from decades of use. Some filler here and there on lower sections of the car as you would expect, but looks fairly straight down the sides. Floorboards were installed new but amateurly. Inner rockers have patches filled in. Not working: turn signals (new indicator lever needs installed), horn, a couple of smaller gauges disconnected, perhaps a bulb or two need replacing here and there, convertible top disconnected (works up and down manually), heater (bypassed), radio, wipers (missing arms). Missing: jack, rear seat center emblem, a couple of rear window cranks, and i'm sure a few other small things I can't remember now. Carburetor could use a rebuild (my mechanic and I have adjusted it nicely and it works fine but is older and the car could greatly benefit from a newer one). Tranny kickdown cable disconnected (I will have it reinstalled before auction ends). Crack in windshield on passenger side near the edge. Some trim is pitted here and there (outer door handles, quarter ornaments, etc.) I am sure there are many other things the car needs.
So overall she is not perfect but she's a DAMN NICE and FUN CRUISER!. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a FAIRLY GOOD LOOKING DRIVER to play around with, do some tlc on your own time, and take to the next level, then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
