This is such a beautiful and fun car. It's licensed,insured, and registered in Arizona. The 1971 Chevelle is garage kept and I am really just trying to clear out space in my garage. This auction has a fairly low reserve. I need a $500 non-refundable deposit by 24 hours after the auction. Full payment by cash or verified check, unless you're willing to split the paypal fee with me. I would prefer local pickup only but I could deliver within 1000 miles of Phoenix for an additional charge.
This was a frame off restoration. The frame was powder coated with the body underside professionally undercoated. The exterior paint was professionally painted, cut, and buffed. There is no rust. The body is straight and has not been body worked with filler. All window seals and felts are new.
The interior was completely restored: new headliner, door panels, armrests, seat covers/padding, dash pad, rear deck, sail panels, carpet/padding. All door/trunk locks are new with matching key to ignition. I upgraded to a four speaker, vintage style radio with MP3/Aux input.
Mechanically, this is a rebuilt 350 with 4-brl Edelbrock. Automatic transmission. Factory A/C with new compressor and converter to 134a. Disc brakes in front, drums in rear. It's running 20" tires with alloy polished Boss wheels. The suspension has been swapped with air bags in front and rear but has new sway bar and shocks.
The car has so many new parts and components.
I will throw in all the original unused parts that range from the old radio, coil springs, exterior chrome trim, to headlight shroud, hood hinges, and brackets.
Please ask any questions, I will do my best to answer. I have many pictures and can post more if requested.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
