I have a bunch of paperwork and receipts for all the work done on this car.
It was purchased in Sylacauga AL from the original owner around 1991 by a guy named John Holleman from Montgomery
AL.
John told me the car had only 30,000 miles on it and was a rust free car. He sold it to Wayne Smith of Vintage
Autos in Montgomery. Wayne did the engine swap from a 6 cylinder along with paint and interior in 1992-1993. The
car has been driven approximately 1150 miles since then. It has a 1957 283 with the correct 997 270hp heads, solid
lifter cam, dual quad intake and carter carbs along with an original bat wing oil bath air cleaner. The underside
is painted red oxide. Harbor Blue is the original color. The Harbor Blue paint is still holding up well for an
almost 25 year old single stage lacquer job. We did have to repaint the Larkspur blue with basecoat and clear as
it was dried out at cracking. There are some minor paint chips and a place on the passenger side rocker arm where
the paint flaked off and you can see the red primer. The car still has the original 3 on the tree manual
transmission and stock open rear end. It should have a rubber mat rather than carpet.
This is an unmolested car with all original body panels, floors and trunk. There is no sign of any body work or
repair done to any of the sheet metal.
Since I took these images, the car has been driven about 200 miles. I have also added new control arm bushings and
front shocks.
The car does need a few things like window felts. It still has the originals. It really needs a good detailing to
the engine and undercarriage. There is some chrome peeling from under the front bumper on the lower passenger
side.
There is a local airport in Springfield IL if you want to fly in to inspect. I would be happy to provide a ride
from the airport or you could uber or taxi in.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
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.
