This is an amazing find.A lady in Greensboro, N.C. bought this car new at Friendly Ford in Greensboro.She drove it keeping it in a garage until 1985.She stopped driving it in 1985.I don t know why.The 85 N.C. inspection sticker is still on the windshield and the 1975 N.C.license plate with 1985 sticker is in the trunk. The car was still in the garage when I bought it from her niece who had inherited it. but the roof was leaking causing some surface rust on the top and drivers side fender and door see pictures.The car is in really good shape for nearly 50 years old.The interior is pretty  nice .The door panels  are in good shape as is the back seat.The seat belts in the back are from sears and roebuck the ones in the front are original.The cloth part of the front seat is torn but the vinyl is in good shape.The headliner has 2 small mice holes in it about the size of a pencil eraser and the dash pad is cracked.The floor mat is in good shape no cracks or tears.The body has very little rust there is some in both quarters at the back of the wheel opening probably a rats nest.I tried to lift the trunk mat but it was stuck and I didn t want to tear it.We bent the drivers door and edge of the quarter unloading it off the trailer.The bumpers need re-chroming.The trim looks good but I hadn t tried to clean it up.The jack ,jack handle and spare tire and hold down stuff is still in the trunk.The paint inside the trunk and lid is in good shape as are the jacking instructions.The owners manual and good driver manual owner card and N.C. inspection receipts back til 1967 are in the dash pocket.The engine is seized but it is all there and I assume it needs some brake work. .You could get the engine running paint the exterior repair the front seat put a dash pad on it probably put some tires on it they hold air but they have been on there since 1985 I know and have a beautiful driver or completely restore it and have a show car or put a big block or roller motor in it and have a real sleeper.There are some receipts in the dash for oil changes tires and exhaust work.The speedometer has a little over 78000 miles not exactly sure I ll go look if someone really wants to know the car is about 20 miles from here .The 1984 inspection receipt has 75654 miles on it .I probably have left something out but I ve talked enough.I just think this an amazing find.I have title in hand.The car is in Denton,N.C. about the center of the state.The car will roll and the tires are inflated and I will help load it Please look at pictures and ask questions.Thanks for looking.

GM hard at work on Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra PHEV pickups

Wed, Feb 21 2024

Autoweek heard from sources at General Motors and Ford about how each automaker is addressing the dip in EV enthusiasm and sales. At General Motors, AW reports, "plug-in hybrid versions of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are headed to market, in a hurry." The sources gave no timeline for when the trucks might appear. GM CEO Mary Barra told analysts during GM's Q4 2023 earnings call, "Let me be clear, GM remains committed to eliminating tailpipe emissions from our light-duty vehicles by 2035, but in the interim, deploying plug-in technology in strategic segments will deliver some of the environmental benefits of EVs as the nation continues to build its charging infrastructure."  It's too soon to predict how the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV will fare on the market, the Silverado EV Work Truck still the only one available to customers. It might be better for GM if they're not too popular at first, the automaker's cautious EV production ramp-up and recent software setbacks responsible for some still-healthy reservation rolls. Barra said the company plans to build between 200,000 and 300,000 EVs, this year, which would clear that backlog. Heading into the end of February, with the Chevy Bolt out of the picture and additional EV pickup production pushed to 2025, our Spidey senses feel those are optimistic numbers. The Chevy Bolt was the third-best-selling EV in the U.S. last year, at 62,044 units. GM didn't have another vehicle in the top ten. Furthermore, the combined sales of every EV in the top ten after the Bolt — seven models from six manufacturers — is only just over 200,000 units. The Blazer EV and Equinox EV could make it happen, but there's no way Chevy wants to rush those, the Blazer EV still in software purgatory.   The report speaks of collateral damage, GM said to have canceled an electric pickup sized below the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. Automotive News said it saw the truck in January 2023, describing it as a futuristic two-door with a low roof and a 4.5-foot cargo bed. A new full-size van program supposedly got the axe as well, eliminating the plan to put a new Chevy Express and GMC Savana on a Brightdrop EV chassis. Over at Ford, AW says its sources mentioned another canceled midsizer; Ford's apparently stopped working on an EV pickup sized a bit below the Nissan Frontier.
