Right Color - Both Exterior and Interior

Right Year - Last Year for Chevrolet Full Size Convertible

Right Condition - Authentic - Not Restored

Right Engine - 400 Cubic Inch V-8

We are the second titled owner of this beautiful convertible. Mr. Ralph Englestad first acquired this vehicle as new with a mso (manufacturer's statement of origin). He was the owner of the Imperial Palace Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. He was also an automobile dealer and had an extensive automobile collection. In the early 1990's the vehicle was sold to the first titled owners. They owned the car for 20 years. We purchased the car in 2012 with total original documented miles of 9,670. The miles are stated on our clear Tennessee title. We have driven the car over 3,000 miles with no issues and much enjoyment.

When we purchased the vehicle, we had a Chevrolet dealership change all fluids, belts, hoses, etc. and requested GM products be used. We also had a new top and new tires installed due to age. This convertible is ready to drive any place and any distance you choose. This isn't a car that has been dressed up and shined up to appear to be something it really isn't. It can be enjoyed for years and decades to come.

The driver's side exterior remote mirror will not move. The clock works but is unplugged because it makes an annoying clicking sound every one or two minutes. The 8 track tape player works and certainly provides a nostalgic feature to the car (yes you can still purchase tapes). This convertible is 39 years old and isn't perfect with some minor discoloration between floor mats and carpet, but they are original to the vehicle. The top could use some adjustment but works fine as is.

If you have interest please call me and I will provide more details concerning the history of the car. We have much documentation from the time the vehicle was first sold and titled. We also have many more pictures that we can send you. The number is 865-207-4493. Please call between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern time. Please no text messages.

The vehicle is priced to sell with no reserve. Please have finances in order and be prepared to complete payment within 7 days of purchase. It is advertised locally and is subject to sell prior to the 7 day auction ending. We will work with the buyer anyway we can.

Thank you.

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.

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing

Tue, Sep 29 2015

The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
