OK, this one is going to take a lot to list, but here it goes. I will probably forget to mention quite a few things so please call with questions. This is a fresh frame off restoration. Less than 200 miles on it. It was totally disassembled and rebuilt from ground up. Supposedly, over 50K was invested per the past owner. I am hoping to get less than half of that number. 

Body: Very straight and a very nice base coat clear coat paint job. Red as red can be. Chrome and stainless either new or very nice. The front bumper has a couple of places where the chrome popped because the bumper bolts were over tightened. Glass all good except for wiper mark on front windshield. If there was any body panel replacements, it cannot be spotted or picked up by a magnet. It comes with a complete set of 210 stainless trim for around the windows and belt line. 

Interior: Custom "pleather" with real ostrich leather accents. Gauges are VDO and all work except for speedo. It is not hooked up. It has Vintage A/C and heat that works. All new Painless wiring system. Lecarra steering wheel. Custom chrome tilt column. Wipers and horn work. B&M shifter. 

Tires and wheels: New Boyd Coddington 18" custom wheels with new Falcon 255/45ZR18 tires. Cost over $3500.00.

Suspension: Air Ride technologies. Very expensive set-up with individual control of all 4 corners. Rear is a 3:08 gear 9" Ford with a custom 4 link set-up. Front is a custom Heidts manual rack and pinion set-up. Braked are power discs up front and drum rears. You can drop the car all the way down to the frame and raise it higher than you would ever want. In the pictures it is about half way down.  

Drive line: Bored out 1969 - 402 cu in big block Chevy. Big cam. 1967 - 101 cc closed chamber heads. Roller rockers. Supposedly about 500 horse power.  Edlebrock accessories. Accel ignition. Holley 750 carb. Headers. 3" Flow master exhaust with "H" pipe. High torq starter. 400 turbo transmission. All new or rebuilt. The only mistake, in my mind, that the guy made was installing too big of a cam and not installing a stall torque converter in the tranny. It will idle in gear, but it lops a lot. Combine that with the 3" Flowmaster exhaust, and you will definitely get noticed when you pull in at a cruise night. A bit too loud and lopy for me, but then I am getting older too. 

Again, this is a fresh restoration but it does need a few final items to be complete. Missing rear slash pan between bumper and body. No radio or aerial. The starter makes a funny noise. It works every time, but I am not sure that it sounds like it should. A new chrome high torque starter is included in the trunk. Needs hood springs installed. New hood springs are in the trunk. It is missing the bottom half on the trunk weather stripping. Door locks do not function properly, but the trunk lock works fine. 

I know I am missing something here. I will add more info as I think of it.

NO TRADES



For those of you over seas; I have sold quite a few cars to guys in Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, etc. so I know how that works. 
  

Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. 

Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. Thanks, Dave

One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a car that I would not be interested in. 

I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will call you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction.

I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying a vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on.  

If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or zero feedback, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. 

For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership.  

Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
