Sadly, I have lost steam with finishing my Hot Rod Power Tour build. I didn't get it finished in time for this last years cruise and have since devoted my time and energy to finishing my 67 C10. Just don't have time for both and want someone else to enjoy this car. This is a clean looking unique car with some big money spent on big name suspension upgrades along with some other goodies to make this a cross country cruiser. The next owner will have the pleasure of setting up the suspension to their liking and cruise on to your favorite local hang out. Here are the details:

Goods:
Car really is in great, original shape. I'd rate the interior near perfect, all original. Clean up top and underneath. Runs/drives/stops. Paint is in good-great shape. Car starts right up, idles great, stays cool (even in TX). No smoke during start up.
Bads:
Has some vinyl top rust. Can feel it around the rear window. Has a few spots that have extended out of the perimeter of the vinyl top in the rear (see the walk around video). Vinyl top is still in great shape though. Needs a little tuning and suspension needs to be tweaked to really be a reliable cruiser....should be minimal work. Tires have great tread left but old. Has what I would consider typical "old car leaks" from the engine and trans (nothing major).
Title in hand. Have lots of original parts that will go with it. Some suspension parts, fender skirts, etc.

Great car with lots of sleeper potential. Although this car has been extremely reliable for me, I would highly advise against a long road trip with this. It's an old car with a lot of new parts. I feel it does require a little time with the new owner to set the suspension up to their liking.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions....I'll be happy to answer them as timely as possible.
I will cancel suspicious bidding. If you have little to no feedback or just joined ebay, I will need email confirmation from you prior to bidding or you bid will be cancelled. Item is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction prior to ending. I will require a $500 immediate deposit and full payment within 1 week of the auction ending. I will do what I can (within reason) to work with shipping the car.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If 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.
