*** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!***
THIS IS A RESTORATION IN PROGRESS! This is NOT a complete running car. There is still sheet metal work to be finished and a few rust spots left to repair. But all the major sheet metal repair has been done. We are selling this car because we just don't have time to finish it, with running two businesses. We don't have to sell this car we just don't have time to finish it and we'd like to see it go to someone who can finish it. There is some wiggle room on the price but not much because we do have a lot of money invested in this already.


We bought this car in 2011 and had it shipped here from Ohio, bought it sight unseen. We paid a couple grand for this car, knowing that id we didn't buy it this Original Chevelle might have found its way to a scrap yard. When the car arrived the seller obviously did not describe it as it was, the spare tire and gas tank were falling thru the trunk because the trunk had rotted thru entirely, and the rust didn't stop there the more we started scrapping and cleaning out we realized it was in major need of total restoration. We started ordering parts from Ground Up Restoration including a full floor with rockers and all braces, right and left FULL quarter panels, drip rail supports, right and left floor pans to replace where the toe pans had rotted, a full trunk floor with braces, quarter panel extensions right and left side, brand new trunk lid, rear window panel, right and left taillight extensions, tail lamp support brace, right and left firewall brackets, right and left full complete doors (NOT just skins). All the parts with tax and shipping equals almost $5,000, that's not including the cost of putting the parts on. This is what needs to be done to finish- toe pans, front firewall braces are welded on you need to finish welding in the full floor the quarters and the extensions in the back with a spot welder. We didn't have time to finish replacing rear fender wells, we were intending to mini tub the car once we had the floors in place. The braces under the backseat inside the car are screwed in and as a personal preference if you want to replace these or just patch them in since they aren't seen anyway. There are a couple spots around the top of the dash the will need some patches made. Again all this gets hidden under the dash pad and all the stainless trim that goes on the outside. A lot of the cracks and crevices that had some rust on them we sprayed with Eastwood's rust encapsulator, which acts as a navel jelly and stops rust. In the back of the car under the back window valance panel could use a couple patches here and there which again is hidden by the outer valence panel that we purchased new. As far as the frame goes it has its typical rust spots, it can be patched, but we were going to replace it with a box style frame and new suspension so we didn't put any emphasis on that just yet. It is a non-posi rear, front disc brakes, power steering. We have a 400 trans to go with the car, no engine the engine was shot and we do not have it anymore. We have 85% of all the parts we took out of the car, except for, from fenders and hood, and front and back seats. Just a note all the hard sheet metal work is done, it is a lot of work replacing full floors and full quarter panels.Any shop would have charged $10,000 for all this work to be done. My personal opinion if we were to continue with this car I would have lightly sand blasted the rest of the inside of this car.

Car has its clear Certificate of Title from Ohio ( as seen in pic) that we never signed, which we will give at the time of transaction.  We have the original front and rear bumpers, front grill assembly and radiator support they are not in very good condition but you are welcome to have them. Feel free to go on Ground Up Restoration's website and add up all these parts so you can see just in parts how much is invested.

We would prefer local pickup, but we had this car shipped when we bought it we paid almost $700 to have it shipped from Ohio, so if you want to have it shipped, you ave to make the arrangements and pay for it. We will make sure the parts are secure in the car and the body is secure to the frame. But if you have it shipped you might want it shipped in an enclosed carrier because the car is in bare metal.


Please serious buyers only. We have a few more pics showing every detail of this car. The car is in a 1 car garage which makes it difficult to push in and out every time someone wants to see it, Thank you for you understanding.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley 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 looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
