OK, this one is going to take a lot to list, but here it goes. I will probably forget to mention quite a few things so please call with questions. This is a fresh frame off restoration. Less than 200 miles on it. It was totally disassembled and rebuilt from ground up. Supposedly, over 50K was invested per the past owner. I am hoping to get less than half of that number. 

Body: Very straight and a very nice base coat clear coat paint job. Red as red can be. Chrome and stainless either new or very nice. The front bumper has a couple of places where the chrome popped because the bumper bolts were over tightened. Glass all good except for wiper mark on front windshield. If there was any body panel replacements, it cannot be spotted or picked up by a magnet. It comes with a complete set of 210 stainless trim for around the windows and belt line. 

Interior: Custom "pleather" with real ostrich leather accents. Gauges are VDO and all work except for speedo. It is not hooked up. It has Vintage A/C and heat that works. All new Painless wiring system. Lecarra steering wheel. Custom chrome tilt column. Wipers and horn work. B&M shifter. 

Tires and wheels: New Boyd Coddington 18" custom wheels with new Falcon 255/45ZR18 tires. Cost over $3500.00.

Suspension: Air Ride technologies. Very expensive set-up with individual control of all 4 corners. Rear is a 3:08 gear 9" Ford with a custom 4 link set-up. Front is a custom Heidts manual rack and pinion set-up. Braked are power discs up front and drum rears. You can drop the car all the way down to the frame and raise it higher than you would ever want. In the pictures it is about half way down.  

Drive line: Bored out 1969 - 402 cu in big block Chevy. Big cam. 1967 - 101 cc closed chamber heads. Roller rockers. Supposedly about 500 horse power.  Edlebrock accessories. Accel ignition. Holley 750 carb. Headers. 3" Flow master exhaust with "H" pipe. High torq starter. 400 turbo transmission. All new or rebuilt. The only mistake, in my mind, that the guy made was installing too big of a cam and not installing a stall torque converter in the tranny. It will idle in gear, but it lops a lot. Combine that with the 3" Flowmaster exhaust, and you will definitely get noticed when you pull in at a cruise night. A bit too loud and lopy for me, but then I am getting older too. 

Again, this is a fresh restoration but it does need a few final items to be complete. Missing rear slash pan between bumper and body. No radio or aerial. The starter makes a funny noise. It works every time, but I am not sure that it sounds like it should. A new chrome high torque starter is included in the trunk. Needs hood springs installed. New hood springs are in the trunk. It is missing the bottom half on the trunk weather stripping. Door locks do not function properly, but the trunk lock works fine. 

I know I am missing something here. I will add more info as I think of it.

NO TRADES



For those of you over seas; I have sold quite a few cars to guys in Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, etc. so I know how that works. 
  

Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. 

Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. Thanks, Dave

One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a car that I would not be interested in. 

I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will call you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction.

I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying a vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on.  

If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or zero feedback, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. 

For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership.  

Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To 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):
