This is a great car. This is a rust free Central Texas car that has never lived outside the county in which it was originally bought. More about that later. This car has the original 6 cylinder with factory markings still visible on the firewall. There are oil change stickers on the car that go back to the mid 1970's. The original spare is in the trunk and the original jacking instructions are still on the jack. The chrome is original and very nice for its age. There is a little delamination of the original glass, but not much. This is the MOST DEPENDABLE old car I have ever owned, and that is of a couple of dozen cars. When none of my other cars would start, including modern cars, this one would. Put a little gas in the carb if it has been sitting a while and she will start right up. Oil pressure is good and the car runs cool. This Chevy will cruise all day at 60 mph. When I bought the car almost 10 years ago it had been sitting in a barn for several years and the brakes were out. The gas tank had also been replaced, I assume to get it running. I fixed the brakes and rebuilt the Powerglide transmission and have had no problems mechanically since. It does have a small leak at the rear main, but not bad enough to pull the engine. I just add a quart every couple of thousand miles. As you can see by the mileage the car has never been driven much.
The original paint started flaking off pretty badly and so I had to repaint the car. This new paint is the original color and looks great. There are a few chips in the paint, (see photos), but it is excellent driver quality. The car had a dent at the passenger side turn indicator that I fixed and rechromed when the car was painted. I have radial tires on the car and 4 mounted WWW bias ply tires go with the car. The trunk mat is new as is the trunk cardboard. I replaced the vacuum wiper with a 6v electric wiper motor and the original vacuum wiper motor and control knob go with the car. Owner's manuals and Shop Manual go with the car. The interior is all original. There is one small hole in the front seat--see picture--as well a small hole in the rear of the front seat--see picture. There is a place just above the front seat adjustment that has torn from age. The headliner is complete and yellowed with age. The door panels are very nice and show some age spots that don't show up well on the pictures. The paint on the dash and the interior chrome is very nice as are the sun visors. The AM radio was not working when I bought the car and I had it fixed. It worked for several years and then went out again. I didn't fix it because there were no AM stations I wanted to listen to. It hums now, but that's it.
This car was originally bought in Belton Texas by an elderly couple and sold out of their estate in the early 1970's. This elderly couple had bought the car with only 2 options on it: the Powerglide transmission and the cheaper radio (it has no push buttons). The car changed hands 3 times through 2 owners who never transferred title and then was sold to a Viet Nam fighter pilot veteran in a town 10 miles away. Shortly after buying the car, this gentleman had a heart attack and his kids forbade him from driving again so he put it in a barn where it sat for over a decade. He eventually sold the car to a fellow who did not transfer title. I was the next owner. Of the 4 prior owners, I have spoken to 2 of them as well as descendants of the original owners.
This is a fabulous car to get into the hobby. There is next to nothing to do to the car except drive and enjoy, and it will get you there. It is DEPENDABLE!!
Good luck bidding and remember: An old car is just that--it is not new. There are no warranties expressed or implied. I will be more than happy to answer any questions, but I will be in the wilds of the trans-Pecos area of Texas over the Labor Day holiday. No telephone coverage, no internet! The middle of nowhere! I'll be back Monday evening and will answer all questions then.

McLaren and Alonso will use Chevy engines at Indy 500
Tue, Dec 4 2018Fernando Alonso will have a Chevrolet engine in his McLaren when the double Formula One champion attempts to win next year's Indianapolis 500 in his second attempt, the British team announced on Tuesday. The 37-year-old Spaniard led 27 laps last year on his debut at The Brickyard in a Honda-powered Andretti Autosport car before retiring with an engine problem with 21 laps to go. The 2018 Indy 500 winner, Australian Will Power, won with Chevrolet-powered Team Penske last May. "Having Chevrolet power behind me means we're putting ourselves in the best possible position to compete at the front," said Alonso in a McLaren statement. The double Monaco Grand Prix winner, who won the Le Mans 24 Hours with Toyota this year, left Formula One at the end of the season last month and is targeting Indianapolis as the final part of the "Triple Crown of Motorsport": winning the Formula One championship (or Monaco), Le Mans and the Indy 500. The late Briton Graham Hill, also a two-times Formula One champion who died in 1975, is the only one to have done it, completing the triple in 1972.Reporting by Alan BaldwinRelated Video: Motorsports Chevrolet McLaren Racing Vehicles IndyCar

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%
Sat, Jun 13 2015General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
