 I recently purchased this vehicle on a whim believing I could finish it up in no time and have a cool ride.  The previous owner spent 2 years getting it to the point that it could be driven, so I was sure it would be no big deal to complete the process.  As a 70 year old, you  think I would know better!  Therefore, it is being offered for sale to someone motivated to follow it through to the finish..   There are many great things to say about the car and I`ll cover those first.  The sheet metal is really solid.  He took it down to the metal, fixed very few pinholes of rust on the fender dog legs, then sprayed it.  When I drove it home, I took a magnet and went over the entire outside and found those lower fender areas the only places the magnet would not hold.   There has been a repair to the passenger side rear floorboard, but the rest of the inside and the trunk floor is solid.  All in all, this body is in great shape for a 47 year old car.  I believe the steel hood is from an SS 396, but I don`t know that for a fact.  Regarding the engine, he told me it was a 350.  I looked for the stamped code on the passenger side cylinder head pad and found nothing.  I then recalled seeing that missing only when a block has been decked, and I believe that was done here.  After further inspection, I found two decals on the passenger side of the block indicating it was a Four Star rebuild from Precision Machine in Jacksonville, Fl.  It also had a production code, so I`m hoping they can research the number and give me the engine information.  I will add that to the description if I am successful.   The transmission, I believe, is a Tremac T5 and shifts out fine.  I believe the clutch is heavy duty.  The rear end appears to be the stock 10 bolt.  The wheels are 15" Rally with 215/60/R15 front, and 235/50/R15 rear.  All the tires look great.  By the way, I asked the previous owner why, after putting so much time and effort into the car,  he was selling it.  He explained that he had found a tractor he wanted, but had to keep it in the garage, so the car had to go.  The car has a new front bumper, new radiator, new fuel tank, new exhaust pipes and mufflers, new door mirrors, new front windshield, and power disc brakes (drum rear).  Now, the items needed.  It has no headliner, is missing the stock front seats (he bolted some black buckets with tracks out of a VW, I think).  There are only a couple of moldings for the windshield and back glass included.  It is missing the heater control and radio.  It needs carpet, a dash pad (cracked), and the rear parcel shelf cover.  I have done my best to describe this car as it sits and apologize in advance if I have overlooked any important details.  I feel I`ve put a very reasonable reserve on the car and know that it has the potential of being a great driver once completed.

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.

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.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
