This car has 24,400 orginal miles with orginal Brown metallic lacqure paint and Light beige interior. Paint is amazing for a 33 year old car. It has some road chips and front bumper paint is thin. Again this paint is amazing for factory paint. This car is 100% stock. Car was bought from orginal owner who bought it new in 1979 from Bast Chevrolet in Seaford New York.
Orginal owner retitled the car in 2001due to a divorce and did not know about actual miles on the title and got a title with exempt miles from the state of New York. So I can not document orginal miles. If you look at the pictures of this cars it is as orginal as they get. When I got the car it had the orginal hoses still on it. I replaced every rubber bushing in the rear and replaced the orginal radiator . Have orginal radiator. I replaced all front end compontents and bushings. New A/C delco shocks.
I put on the corvette valve covers and crome alternator. Have orginal parts. Interior is 100% complete no cracks with the orginal carpet, door panels, seats and steering wheel ( has a crack on top see picture). Car starts and drives like a 24,000 mile car. Mufflers had been replaced by previous owner. The rest of the exhust is factory.
Everything in the car work as it should cold Air conditioning, clock, Instrumentation, Seat belt reminder, Key buzzer, Alarm ect.
Previous owner did not save the window sticker and I tried to get out the tank build sheet but it was all beat up and in many pieces. I was unable to find a build sheet under the carpeting.
I do have some of the delivery paperwork see photos. This car was undercoated from the factory and has no rust what so every on the chassis or the bird cage. This car was also garaged from the day it was picked up and it shows. It still had the orginal brake calipers and pads from GM when I got it. I have since changed them to SS sleeved o ring calipers. This car is really unmolested and stock.
500 dollar deposit and remainder to be paid with wire transfer or bank check.
car is for sale locally and can be withdrawn at any time

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
