1962 Chevrolet Chevy II (Nova) 300 Series 3 Seat Wagon Survivor First Year
Rarest of all Nova's. . . first year Chevy II 300 series 8-pass. station wagon with the extremely rare third row seat option, offered only in 1962 and 1963. Original one-owner California black plate car that I bought and drove back to New York 4 years ago (some photos included here are from the trip home from California). 132,000 miles on it, which appears to be actual. Car is currently being driven, so mileage will increase. Car is completely original, never been hit, and everything is solid and straight. Front fenders both previously repaired above the headlights, a common area for corrosion on these cars. The bottom of the tailgate also has corrosion, also common on these cars. Dings and chips to be expected for a 52 year old car, but all of the sheet metal is original. Paint touched up over the years in spots with a paint brush, apparently by the original owner. The left front fender and right side rear door both have a slight crease in them. The chrome on the bumpers is weathered. Sub-frame is solid. Still has factory red-oxide primer on the underside of the floor; never undercoated. Floors in good shape, with the exception of a small spot under the driver's and front passenger's feet, where floor and firewall meet. The driver side has an old repair. The passenger side still needs repair, which is a very easy fix. Rocker panels are straight and solid. Front seat is covered due to wear. Rear seat fabric is in very good condition. Third seat is nearly perfect. Door panels are factory fresh. Dash paint is almost perfect, as is the dash pad. It has a replacement carpet. 194 cubic inch 6 cylinder, air cooled Powerglide, manual steering. Engine taps; likely a valve lifter or something along those lines. Drove it home from California like this with no problems. Good oil pressure, runs great. This rare vehicle is ready and roadworthy enough to be driven anywhere without concern. Brakes all rebuilt, New rear axle bearings and seals, steering has some slop and will eventually need attention. 5 new Firestone whitewall tires. Car will be sold with its original black California plates and dealer plate frame. Comes with a New York State paper registration slip, as titles were not available for model years prior to 1972. Original owners manual and service receipts will go with the car. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me (Charlie) at 516-242-7505 during daytime hours or 631-929-4970 during evenings/weekends, or send me a message. |

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
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:
