1964 Chevy Ii, 2 Door Sedan - Great Daily Driver.... Drive Her Home.... on 2040-cars

Year:1964 Mileage:45005

United States

1964 Chevy II, 2 door sedan, 100 Series, 194 cu. in. 6 cylinder, automatic, power steering, power brakes - all matching numbers, with 45,005 original miles (documented)

A dependable daily driver that is in great shape for a 50 year old classic - She is a real head turner - Recent updates include all new brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, rebuilt power brake booster, new upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends, new water pump, new carburetor, all new engine gaskets and 4 new white wall radial tires.  Radiator was flushed, transmission strainer cleaned - all new fluids & no fluid leaks - recently tuned (points, condenser and plugs) Compression test revealed over 110 psi on each cylinder and within +/- tolerances. 

Based upon her condition I believe she has been garaged for most of her life, as she is right now - I have the original owners’ manual and warranty book that came with the car in 1964 - I am the 3rd owner.  She is straight and true and as best as I can tell she has never been in a major accident  - She has new window and door gaskets, floor pans and has had some minor rust repair done over the years - There is no visible rust or rust through anywhere on the car - She was re-painted at some point in her 50 years and is still the original color that matches the factory paint code.  She drives straight down the road, shifts perfectly, stops on a dime, has plenty of power with no hesitation and has no shimmies or shakes even at 75 mph - She’s not perfect by any means but she is the great car for someone who wants a fun, dependable classic – She would be great for the first time classic car buyer or someone who doesn’t work on cars because she needs nothing done mechanically to drive her….  She does have some minor body imperfections - the passenger door has a paint blend that doesn’t quite match perfectly where a small dent was repaired and she has the usual small chips here and there found on any 50 year old daily driver. She is not a show car and is not priced like one…But...

Everything works and unlike most sellers, I can honestly state that this car is strong enough and safe enough to drive her home from Southwest Florida to anywhere here in the states.  I will gladly help the new buyer coordinate shipping by carriers or by container if shipped outside the USA (at the buyers cost of course).  The last classic car I sold was a 68 Ford Falcon that was shipped to Queensland, Australia and the new owners loved the condition of my car…. 

I have over $14,000 invested but you can buy her now for only $12,500 - I will consider all “Reasonable Offers” throughout this auction but offensively low bids will be automatically refused - Please understand that I am in no rush to sell her - You just don’t find daily drivers like this in such good mechanical condition - I plan to hold out for the best offer or wait to sell her locally where she is also being advertised….

NOTE: She is being sold as-is and where-is - there is no warranty or guarantee that comes with the car - The buyer must pay $500 deposit immediately via PayPal - The balance is to be paid via certified check within 3 business days -The check must clear my bank before the clear title will be signed over and the car released (approx. 5 banking days)  Please note: I will not sell to anyone in Mexico or Central America because of the scams coming from these regions…. Thanks for looking…  Gary W.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

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:
