Up for auction is my 1962 Suburban. I was in the process of restoring this,but unexpected medical bills are forcing me to sell it. Below is a list of work that has been completed on the vehicle.

1)NEW fuel tank,sending unit and fuel filters.

2)Fresh transmission filter and fluid change.

3)Changed engine oil and filter

4)Tune up including plugs,wires,distributor cap,rotor button,points,condenser and coil.

5)Replaced one rear brake line that was rusted

6)Good battery

7)Cooper radial Tires with good tread.

The previous owner replaced the six cylinder engine with a 327 2bbl. According to the serial number on the block,it is a 1969 model.

The transmission is a THD350 from the same year.

It originally had a two speed power glide.

Odometer reads 50,837. Not sure if this original, or if it has tripped. Speedometer does not work.

It runs and drives well. Doesn't smoke at all and holds good oil pressure at all rpm ranges. It has aftermarket oil,temp, and amp. gauges.

It has manual steering, which is tight. Manual brakes, which hold well.

It has stock manifolds and a single exhaust with a stock muffler.

The radiator may need repair, as I have noticed some coolant seepage near the top, when the vehicle has reached operating temperature. It just appears wet, does not leak to the ground.

The lights and wipers function as they should. I am not sure about the heater. I have not tried it. Has the original AM radio, which doesn't appear to work.

It has been painted, at least once before I purchased it. It is due for a paint job and body work now. I have included photos of each panel to show exact condition. It has clamshell rear doors and sliding side windows.

The previous owner used it as a flower delivery truck, and had welded some metal racks in the rear to hold plant trays. There are some spots that will need to be filled where these were welded in. See interior photos for close ups of these areas.

It has bucket seats from another vehicle with shoulder strap seat belts. They are in good condition.

The back cargo area has the original rubber mat in place, and has the mounting holes for the original rear seats. Unfortunately I do not have the seats.

The original wooden floor in the cargo area has been replaced with thick, marine grade plywood, which is solid.

The undercarriage and frame rails have some surface rust, but are solid. There is one small rust hole in the bottom leg of one frame rail near the back,on the driver's side. This does not affect the strength of the chassis, since it is not on the side portion of the frame. I have attached a photo detailing this area. It appears to have rusted between two holes that were drilled in the frame when the chassis was built.

I have tired to describe this vehicle and thoroughly and honestly as possible. Please email me with any questions.

Vehicle is being sold, AS-IS,WHERE IS.

Even though the truck runs and drives fine, I would plan on trailering it home if you are out of town.

$500.00 deposit will be required within 24 hours of auction close. I will accept PayPal or cash, at time of pickup for the balance.

Bidder's with zero, or negative feedback, please contact me before bidding.

Thanks for Looking, and Happy Bidding!!!

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
