Up for auction is my 1962 Suburban. I was in the process of restoring this,but unexpected medical bills are forcing me to sell it. Below is a list of work that has been completed on the vehicle.
1)NEW fuel tank,sending unit and fuel filters.
2)Fresh transmission filter and fluid change.
3)Changed engine oil and filter
4)Tune up including plugs,wires,distributor cap,rotor button,points,condenser and coil.
5)Replaced one rear brake line that was rusted
6)Good battery
7)Cooper radial Tires with good tread.
The previous owner replaced the six cylinder engine with a 327 2bbl. According to the serial number on the block,it is a 1969 model.
The transmission is a THD350 from the same year.
It originally had a two speed power glide.
Odometer reads 50,837. Not sure if this original, or if it has tripped. Speedometer does not work.
It runs and drives well. Doesn't smoke at all and holds good oil pressure at all rpm ranges. It has aftermarket oil,temp, and amp. gauges.
It has manual steering, which is tight. Manual brakes, which hold well.
It has stock manifolds and a single exhaust with a stock muffler.
The radiator may need repair, as I have noticed some coolant seepage near the top, when the vehicle has reached operating temperature. It just appears wet, does not leak to the ground.
The lights and wipers function as they should. I am not sure about the heater. I have not tried it. Has the original AM radio, which doesn't appear to work.
It has been painted, at least once before I purchased it. It is due for a paint job and body work now. I have included photos of each panel to show exact condition. It has clamshell rear doors and sliding side windows.
The previous owner used it as a flower delivery truck, and had welded some metal racks in the rear to hold plant trays. There are some spots that will need to be filled where these were welded in. See interior photos for close ups of these areas.
It has bucket seats from another vehicle with shoulder strap seat belts. They are in good condition.
The back cargo area has the original rubber mat in place, and has the mounting holes for the original rear seats. Unfortunately I do not have the seats.
The original wooden floor in the cargo area has been replaced with thick, marine grade plywood, which is solid.
The undercarriage and frame rails have some surface rust, but are solid. There is one small rust hole in the bottom leg of one frame rail near the back,on the driver's side. This does not affect the strength of the chassis, since it is not on the side portion of the frame. I have attached a photo detailing this area. It appears to have rusted between two holes that were drilled in the frame when the chassis was built.
I have tired to describe this vehicle and thoroughly and honestly as possible. Please email me with any questions.
Vehicle is being sold, AS-IS,WHERE IS.
Even though the truck runs and drives fine, I would plan on trailering it home if you are out of town.
$500.00 deposit will be required within 24 hours of auction close. I will accept PayPal or cash, at time of pickup for the balance.
Bidder's with zero, or negative feedback, please contact me before bidding.
Thanks for Looking, and Happy Bidding!!!

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
