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.

GM's Reuss predicts 2016 Chevy Camaro will outperform Ford Mustang in every way

Tue, Apr 7 2015

We aren't going to be seeing the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro until next month. But even though we know when we're going to see the new muscle car, it's totally unclear whether Chevy will dole out technical details. That means we can't answer the latest version of the age-old question: Camaro or Ford Mustang? Not surprisingly, General Motors North America President Mark Reuss has already stated his position, saying he was "very confident" that the sixth-generation Camaro will be faster, more agile and more efficient than the Ford. Reuss made his comments after saying he drove the new Camaro back-to-back with the Mustang the week prior. Reuss' statement came in a conversation with Fox News about the 2016 Camaro where he elaborated on the car's weight shedding and how it fit into GM's strategy on other new models. "There are some really cool things in the Camaro, that are quite different than the Malibu, [and] CT6," Reuss told Fox. As we reported previously, the Camaro will shed some 200 pounds by switching to aluminum and other lightweight composites for some of its components. With May 16 just over a month away, here's hoping Reuss decides to loose some other details on the next Camaro ahead of its debut. Related Video:

New auto loans could soon extend out to 84 months

Sun, Apr 22 2018

Cars and trucks are more expensive than ever before. In order to boost sales and help consumers afford new vehicles, automakers are offering longer and longer terms for auto loans. This past week, Bloomberg reported that FCA's Ram Trucks division is currently offering the longest loans. Some stretch to 73 months. Jeep, Fiat and Chevy aren't far behind. More noteworthy is that we'll likely soon see lenders moving from 73-month to 84-month loans. That's seven years worth of interest. More than two-thirds of US auto sales come from light trucks like the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500. The average transaction price of a new vehicle is well over $30,000. It's not difficult to spec out a heavily-optioned truck up to $60,000. Vehicles depreciate from the moment they roll off a dealer lot, and these six or seven-year loans could hurt consumers and lenders both in the long run. The U.S. Senate voted last week to kill rules that would prevent discriminatory auto lending. These Obama-era guidelines were meant to curtail lenders who offered higher loans based on race, religion, sex or national origin.

2016 Chevy Volt orders start tomorrow

Thu, May 28 2015

For anyone in California who wants to be among the first adopters of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, then May 28 is very important. Dealers in the Golden State get to be first to place orders for the range-extended electric vehicle on that day, but buyers in the rest of the US just have to wait a few months until their turn comes. This info comes from dealer data gathered by Inside EVs and confirmed by General Motors to AutoblogGreen. According to these slides, dealers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont must wait until August 27 to place an order for the Volt. Finally, the reservations for the rest of the nation open up on October 1. The first production of these new models starts in August after a six-week shutdown at the Hamtramck factory to prepare for it. We already know that the 2016 Volt starts at $33,170, plus $825 destination, before federal or state incentives and is available in seven exterior colors and five interior upholstery options. The sedan is offered in LT and LTZ trims. Opting for the higher level adds features like an upgraded audio system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, front and rear heated leather seats, wireless device charging, and Automatic Park Assist. A navigation system on an 8-inch screen and safety assist suite are also optional, according to these documents. Related Video:
