You are looking at a true survivor.  This is a great original condition two owner car that has always been in the same family.  A father to son situation.  The paint is not original, but is the original color and as you can tell by the pictures, it was done very well.  This was not a cheap respray.  There is no bondo on this car.  The car is very drivable and would make an excellent weekend or daily driver as is.  If you chose to make it a show car it would be an easy restoration.  The only known defects are as follows...

  •  The dash clock is not currently functional
  •  There are a few dings along the passenger side of the body (I did the best I could to show those in the pics)
  •  This is a factory AC car, but the system could use charging.  It's not blowing as cold as it should (but since it's February, it wasn't a priority at the moment)

I would consider this excellent considering it is a 42 year old vehicle!

This car started out as a CO car, but spent most of it's life as a Florida car.  The pictures pretty much tell the story.  My loss of storage space is your gain!  Someone is going to get an amazing deal on this car!!!

The car is also available locally through several other sources of media and I reserve the right to end the auction at any point.  If you are serious about it, I would highly suggest the buy it now, this car will get a lot of activity and if I get a good local offer it's gone, since I could use the space!

Terms:

A non refundable deposit will be due within 24 hours of the end of the auction through Paypal, unless you are local and paying in cash.  The remainder of the payment will need to be made either by cash in person if you are local or coming in to pick it up, or by check drawn on a bank where there is a reasonably local branch where I can cash the check and have cash in hand before it leaves my property or goes on a truck.  I have also used Escrow.com in the past and would be willing to consider that option and split the escrow fee (which is minimal)

Please serious inquiries only.  Please only bid if you have your funds available.  I am not willing to hold the car. 

If you need a ride from the airport to pick it up, I can probably help with that.  If you need to ship the car, I can refer you to some carriers that I've used successfully in the past.  Shipping would of course be at your expense, but I am willing to do everything possible to facillitate the delivery.

Please ask any questions prior to bidding.  If you want to make an offer, I'm always willing to listen to reasonable offers.  The worst I can say is no, so don't be shy.

Title is in hand.

Check my feedback, it's all good.  

Thanks for looking. Good luck and happy bidding!!!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
