This started as a rust free Palm Springs, CA car. Took me four years to complete. Got a ton of money into it and know I'll take a huge loss, but that's the current market we live in. My third Cancer surgery is on Monday, and even with good insurance the out of pocket costs are steep. Time to let this go and let someone else enjoy it. I'm not a kid anymore anyway. I'll describe it as best I can but will inevitably miss something. Feel free to ask any questions. 12 Years on eBay and I still have perfect feedback.

I bought this as an unfinished project from a guy in Los Angeles who got in over his head and ran out of funds. Well over $40K into it. 1961 Chevrolet in Corona Cream. Excellent recent paint. The interior is leather w/suede inserts. 44" power moon roof in front and 44" fixed moon roof in rear. One piece suede headliner. Dakota Digital dash. IDIDIT steering column. The sound system was featured in the July 2007 issue of Low Rider Magazine called "Wagon Days". Custom built subwoofer and amps hid in spare tire wheel well. All new glass and power windows. (except original tailgate) Rebuilt drivetrain. 396 cubic inch engine and 4L60E transmission. Aluminum radiator with dual electric fans for max cooling. New battery. Dual Flowmaster exhausts. The chassis has new disc brakes on all four corners. The calibers are show chromed. New front end with shocks and springs all the way around. New fuel cell underneath floor compartment in cargo area. The wheels are one off billet prototypes that were eventually deemed too expensive to be put into production. (They were $8,500 alone) 20 x 8.5 in the front and 22 x 11 in the back all wrapped in brand new Goodrich G-Force rubber.

I've since changed the air cleaner to a lower profile model. I included a pic. An extra set of tires is also included. The stickers are still attached. I'll also throw in a Retro Tech shifter if you want it. Paid around a grand for it but ended up liking what was already installed. Not perfect but a very, very nice car. Would most likely only take a few hours to get it entirely up to your liking. Heater delete. Needs oil and fuel cell sending units. Speedometer needs to be calibrated. Instructions and directions for those 3 items included. Can't find anybody in these cornfields to help me with it. Just me and the dog here. Only driven a few times locally so I never worried about it. Might have all of 120 miles on it. I own several cars and motorcycles. Retired so my schedule is extremely flexible. Happy to work with you and your shipper. Storage not a problem. Thanks for your time and consideration. Good luck, good health, stay well.

Chevy Volt gets customer satisfaction 'recall' for rear hatch issue UPDATE

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Last week, General Motors has issued a "Customer Satisfaction program" for some 2011-2015 model year Chevrolet Volts to fix the manual rear lift gate not working as appropriate. According to Volt owner posts on Facebook, the problem manifests itself by the hatch not opening up all the way (sometimes worse in the cold) with some people bumping their heads. Dealers will replace the lift gate struts as part of the program. Some drivers were notified through the vehicle's OnStar system that there is a problem. GM has not yet said how many Volts are affected. *UPDATE* This program is for all 2011-2015 model year Volts. Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho told AutoblogGreen that, "This is not a recall, so there won't be any formal information posted on the GM website." The fixes will be free to affected Volt owners. Some 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles are also affected by the same problem and will also be fixed.

Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge

Sat, Sep 9 2017

Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america

Chevy, GMC have electric pickups coming. Is Cadillac next?

Fri, Jan 7 2022

GMC already has an uber-expensive electric pickup in the Hummer EV. By now you've no doubt seen the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. It's a pickup. It's electric. It looks a little bit like an Avalanche. Hmm.Â You know what else was a pickup that looked a little bit like an Avalanche? Why, the Cadillac Escalade EXT, of course.Â Cadillac Escalade EV-T yes or no?https://t.co/R1AXThRzIG@therealautoblog @Cadillac — Byron "Don't do anything Byron says. Ever" Hurd (@Byron_AB) January 7, 2022 So, hypothetically, if Cadillac were to build an Escalade EXT with an upmarket interior, Super Cruise, a minimum of 300 miles of range, 10,000 pounds of towing capacity, a locking frunk and 5-passenger seating, plus all of the nifty doodads and gadgets we've already seen on the Silverado ... would it sell?Â OK, this isn't entirely hypothetical. In fact, I received a survey from Cadillac this morning asking just that.Â It's an interesting question. And it's one we're putting to you, the readers. So, what say you? Cadillac Escalade EV-T? Yes or no? Related video:
