My dad and I found this car for sale last October. It had been sitting in a garage in central Texas for many years. The owner said that his father had purchased the car in the late 1970's (I believe), and it was just a cruiser/second vehicle. He drove it on business trips occasionally, but that was about it. He passed away around 2002-3, and left the car to his son, whom we bought it from. The son never really messed with it, and eventually, it just sat in the garage unused. My dad was looking for a fun toy for his twilight years, and I fell in love with it at first sight. It was a time capsule. A very dirty time capsule. It hadn't been run at all in several years, and not registered for 10.

We bought it and brought home, and I got busy bringing it back to life. I went through and replaced fluids, filters, etc... Replaced water pump, cam & lifters, intake, rebuilt carb, new fuel lines, brake lines, etc...all sorts of stuff to make it roadworthy. Unfortunately, my dad passed in early January before I was able to get it all done so he could enjoy it. My mom doesn't need the car. So now, it needs to go. We took it out to its first local Cruise Night last weekend, where it received many compliments. Many commented on how well preserved, how straight and solid it is. The doors, hood and tailgate all open and close like it's new. Truly amazing. No sag whatsoever, and very tight.

Like stated above, it is a very straight and solid, good running and driving car. It does have A/C, but it isn't working. The compressor ran when we got it, but didn't cool. I pulled a vacuum on it to see if it would hold. The high side does, but not the low. The dash lights are intermittent. Other than that, everything seems to work fine. I replaced the intake with an Edelbrock Performer RPM to go with the carb it came with(Q-jet misplaced by previous owner). I also replaced the factory wheels and tires with the Cragar 17's that are on it now. The car comes with the original wheels(complete with rings and caps), and factory cast intake. It also has the original spare, O/M, warranty book, and Protecto plate. The exhaust is also a new dual 2 1/2 with Flowmaster style mufflers.

I am more than glad to answer any other questions you may have. Please call 281-413-1052.

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.

Chevy: The Big Game

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Chevrolet took an early lead for the 2015 Super Bowl advertising crown with its spot for the all-new, 4G LTE-capable Colorado pickup in a spot that simulated a problem with your TV. The stark, simple ad then states that if you're lucky enough to have an Internet-capable vehicle, like the new Colorado, you'd at least be able to stream the game. A clever, chuckle-inducing spot if there was one. Check out our full write up of the new, 2015 Colorado. Marketing/Advertising Chevrolet Truck Super Bowl Commercials Videos 2015 super bowl ad

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.
