Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I am selling this great-looking vintage car for my neighbor. He has described it to me and I'll try to pass along the information in detail; also, I've taken a lot of detailed photos. But I'll also be glad to pass along contact information so you can talk with him directly, and of course, you are encouraged to come and inspect the car in person before the end of the auction.

As a bit of background, my neighbor is not a dealer. He would like to keep this car - I can tell, it absolutely hurts to put it up for sale! However, he has bills to pay, and needs to see it sold. It's a 1971 Chevelle with 119,359 actual miles. The car was restored 10 years ago, and purchased by a school-teacher. She kept it garaged and took good care of it, but sold it when she changed jobs last year. (Lots of that going around, I'm afraid...) The car is pretty impressive: Original green-on-green (the interior's all original, the paint of course has been re-done), the chrome is all pretty decent but could stand to be buffed out a bit. There are a couple small bubbles or under-paint rust blisters near the driver's-side wheel wells, but nothing major (see photos). We don't think it has ever been wrecked or had any major body work. The paint is professional and looks great!

The motor was overhauled a year ago; the transmission is new. The battery is brand-new; the tires are Cooper Cobra Radials and are almost new (about 95 percent). It has disc brakes, and rally wheels with chrome beauty rings. (Power steering, power brakes.) The suspension has been lowered. This is an original AC car, but the air conditioning is not currently connected - it's in the trunk, ready to be installed. Also in the trunk is a variety of parts and pieces.

The inside of this car will transport you back to 1971! With the exception of the Kenwood CD player/radio, it's pretty much 100 percent original. There is a small hole in the headliner, otherwise it's in incredibly good shape; I also saw one tiny place where an upholstery seam is separating near the bottom of the passenger seat's back (down near the floor), and there's another one above the back arm rest on that side (see photos). Otherwise it is very, very nice. (They don't make seats this comfortable nowadays!) The rear door cranks aren't attached but are both there, the glovebox door needs a latch but is otherwise complete.

Again, please examine the photos carefully, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask! I will do my best to answer them, or will refer them to the car's owner. We are located about 10 miles west of Bloomington, Indiana - if you wish to see the car in person, please let me know and I will help you to make arrangements. The seller is motivated, and the reserve is reasonable, we hope this beautiful vehicle will find a new home. I wish all prospective bidders the best of luck!

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
