This is the kind of project I always wished I would have been able to find, but ironically, now that I have it, I need the money more! This car is pretty much all there, it needs to be gone through and reassembled. My father purchased this car in 1991. It had been in an accident and the front clip was missing. He replaced the front clip, frame and any rusty parts in the metal substructure in the body. all of that work is still sound. The frame is from 1973 automatic car. The only thing you will notice is that there is a removable cross member to make transmission removal much easier. The car came with the original 350 engine that had been rebuilt by the previous owner. When he was in the process of getting it ready to start, life got in the way. He kept the car in the garage, collecting NOS and repro parts to replace anything the car needed but never got back to working on it. The top frame and soft top were never with the car since he owned it, but there is a factory hard top in excellent condition. The car was painted the original color back in the early 90s and still looks great as the pictures show. There are some scratches and chips but nothing major. I'd just touch it up and go with it! The front and back bumpers are good but used, Original engine and trans were rebuilt, but sitting for 20 years will require going through again. I'd definitely replace the seals at least. I have not tried to turn the engine. The wheels and tires on the car are just for pushing it around, there are 4 original style wheels and NOS beauty rings and 4 good caps. The exhaust pipes are used and in good condition, there are two new mufflers and exhaust tips. Most or all of the exterior badges and letters are NOS. There are new old stock Ecklers seat covers and foam with it, I think one of the seat frames needs a crack welded up. The back of one of the seat foams has been gnawed on by a mouse, but will be usable with a little work. There is an unused set of high quality front carpets. I don't know of anything else I can report. If you keep in mind the top missing, and the 20 years in the garage, I don't think there is anything that will surprise you on this great project!

The good,
Pretty much all there except soft top
beautiful blue paint job in very good condition
new seat covers and foam,  beauty rings, trim pieces, etc.
original engine, trans and rear
67000 miles
clear title

The bad

replacement frame

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
