If you are looking for a one owner, unmolested, near original, low mile, RUST FREE, clean 70's Chevy, then this one is for you.
Background:
I bought this car from the owners son 10 years after the owner died. It was sitting in a garage since his death. While going through the paperwork, I discovered a Jasper rebuilt engine had been installed in 1992 by a local Chevrolet dealer at 53,583 miles. I bought the car with 53,893 miles and at present, the odometer reads 54,472 miles. The owner took this car to a Chevrolet dealer for practically all repairs with exception of exhaust where the dealer sublet to Midas Muffler. Significant documentation was found in the glovebox to verify repairs, mileage, and chain of ownership. A very impressive and rare find.
Clean up:
I replaced the org. points distributor w/ HEI, battery, fuel pump, plugs and wires, and all four tires, treated the gas in the tank and sent it out to be thoroughly cleaned by a professional detail shop. It came back looking like a new car, however, somewhere in the process the radio knobs were stripped out so I replaced with new repro knobs.
General condition:
Clean interior, carpet is in great shape, seats are above average(no rips), headliner has 5 BB size holes from mice
Clean body, one small dent in upper right front fender (see pic), small paint chips behind left door (see pic), vinyl top is flawless, chrome literally looks brand new
Amazingly sound mechanically, stock exhaust(no rust through), Jasper re-manufactured engine with less than 1000 miles, A/C is all there but needs recharged, brand new tires on stock rims with orig Corvette style hubcaps, new battery(Interstate green), new style HEI distributor(org distributor is in trunk), org spare,
Bottom line:
Driving this car is like stepping back into the early 70's. If you would like to buy a nostalgic Chevy to go to cruise-ins, car shows, or just enjoy an evening ride, this car needs nothing and will turn heads wherever you take it. No worries, no disappointments.
THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY RUST FREE!

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
