A good solid car of which I am the third owner. The car sat outside for 10 or 15 years until the owner passed away. His mailman bought it from the public trustee, did nothing with it and sold it to me. I have owned it for 5 years and have driven it about one or two miles (from one storage area to another). It drove like a dream. I have had most of the body work done (rust cut out, replaced with metal, not welded but pop riveted and smoothed with body filler). It has a cheap coat of house paint sprayed on it, so at least it is not rusting away. Fuel tank was cleaned and new fuel level indicator and screen installed. New master cylinder put on. My dreams were bigger than my wallet (I am a fixed income retiree) and I cannot afford to do more work on it. I am into it for $4,500.00, and the opening bid is far below that. REMEMBER: NO RESERVE-YOU BID YOU BUY UNLESS YOU'RE OUTBID! My loss, your gain! The engine runs (ran, it has been sitting for about three years), but the water jacket has a crack in it, and the engine needs to be pulled and the jacket stitched. It is not a Bel Air, but it is still a beautiful car. It has minimal rust, the floor pans are solid, and so is the frame. I you are interested in restoring and owning one of the Tri-Five, then this is certainly an affordable and well worthwhile project. The car is located at the North end of Vancouver Island. If you live in the state of Washington it is a ferry ride (Seattle to Victoria) and a half day's drive away. The opening bid is $1,250.00 and there is no reserve. The successful bidder will be expected to pay $750.00 through PayPal at the close of he auction, and the balance in cash or by certified cheque on pick up or within 10 days whichever comes first. Title is clear and all documentation is on hand.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
