This car has had much restoration work done, and it's just about finished. The car was completely dis-assembled. The body was taken off the frame, the frame was blasted and painted, and all new control arm bushings and ball joints installed. The entire body was also blasted and etch primed, then put back on the frame and all rusty metal was cut out and much new metal welded in, including floor pans, trunk pans, quarter section, trunk extensions, rear trunk area and more. The quality of the metal work is very good. When all the metal work was completed the car was sent out for finish body work and paint, and it came out real nice. The color of the car is a Ford color, paint code E4, "Vermillion Red". If you go to a Ford dealer on a bright sunny day and ask to see this color, I think you will agree it is the perfect red for this vintage car.
Once the paint was done, it was returned to me for re-assembly, and I have just about finished. As you can imagine, this car has had more work done and new or reconditioned parts installed than I could remember to list here, so please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
It has a new red and white hounds tooth interior that includes new seat covers, door panels, armrest bases, carpet, headliner, etc. The original 283 V-8 motor and the cast iron powerglide automatic transmission were rebuilt prior to me owning the car, and they run flawlessly. The Rochester 4 barrel carb with electric choke is a nice touch. It has an aluminum radiator. Presently there is an alternator in the car, but if the new owner chooses, I will convert it back to stock with a nice generator and a brand new voltage regulator that I have and are ready to go. It has all new brake components from the dual line master cylinder to the wheel cylinders, and silicone brake fluid was used to prevent corrosion over long periods. New stock single exhaust. The power steering system was rebuilt and works perfectly. Basically, everything in this car works, right down to the windshield washers. I replaced the clock with a voltage meter.
The car is not perfect, it has some trim pieces that could be replaced or restored, I did the best I could with what I could find here on ebay. Also there is some new weatherstripping that has yet to be installed, but will come with the car. This car is very, very nice, and needs nothing that would prevent you from driving and enjoying it right now. I would easily put this car up against any other 1960 Impala 2 door hardtop for the money. I can answer any questions you may have by telephone (before 8PM eastern please) (413)-539-9769, ask for Dave...and I encourage anyone who is interested to come and see the car.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How 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.
