Here is a list of much of the work performed on this car:
The 300 cubic inch V8 motor has been completely rebuilt. New pistons, valves, hydraulic rockers etc. All built to original factory specifications The factory aluminum intake and aluminum heads have been painted as they would have been from the factory. New Holley 2 barrel carburetor. Works better than the original but the original carburetor will come with the car. Transmission has been upgraded from the original 2 speed automatic transmission to a freshley rebuilt 3 speed turbo 350. The differential has been checked out, was fine, and the fluid was changed. Custom dual exhaust was built for the car. It runs up and over the rear axel so it looks like a factory original exhaust. New full length floor pans and trunk floor sheet metal was installed. All rust repair was done by cutting out the cancer and welding in new metal. No half-assed bondo or fiberglass was used to cover up anything! All suspension parts that normally wear out were replaced with new parts and all of the suspension parts were painted with POR-15 to stop any future rust! (if you don't know what POR-15 is, you need to look into it....it's a fantastic product that eliminates rust problems!) All new interior. Carpet, seat covers, door panels, dash etc. Almost every piece of chrome was rechromed and every stainless moulding was professionally polished. New black vinyl top, plus the top frame was disassembled and restored! (Just the top assembly took nearly a week to restore!) It's a manual not a power top. It is very easy to put up and take down. Car has been lowered several inches. It could stand to be lowered a few more to be honest. New windshield, all other glass is original and in excellent condition. All new brakes. 2 new drums. This includes new hoses and even a new master cylinder. It stops great for 4 wheel drum brakes! It does not have power brakes. Oil pressure, water temp & amp guages have been added. Factory AM radio still in the dash. An aftermarket stereo that tilts away out of site has been added. Custom made front kick panels have built in stereo speakers! New Boyd Coddington aluminum rims and tires It starts easily, stops straight and fast, runs nice and seems to drive down the road straight! Simply put, it runs like a new car! Listed for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early if the asking price is met. |

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
