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.

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.
