Update 1/11/14 10:00 pm. I've had people asking about rust, so I went down and pulled the floor mats out of it and checked it out. The subframe looks good. I didn't find any rust problems there. The floor is still pretty solid, but it does have some rust through. Both rear floors - at the fee of the back seat occupants, have an inch or so diameter hole. On the driver's side someone has drilled a couple holes and strung a wire through it to hold up the exhaust system -- pretty fancy! The driver's side front had flakey surface rust, but I didn't find any rust out. The pass. side front is by far the worst. The bottom edge where the firewall and floor meet has come lose due to rust. There is also several rust out holes all across it. It could possibly use a pan, but I believe it's repairable without one. I wouldn't use a pan on either of the back floors. If it'll let me add a picture or two of the rust I'll do so. The upper door hinge on the right front door is broken.  Also, where the window frame attaches on the top, back of the door it has come lose. There is a significant dent on the pass. side rear door as well, and a dent on the right rear quarter. The glass is all there except the pass. front door glass and the tailgate glass. It has an inline 6 engine in it and a bell housing, but the transmission is gone.  Keep asking questions...


This is one of several cars I hauled in a couple years ago so I don't know very much about it. Basically, what you see is what you get.  I can take additional pictures and check out specific items for you if you're interested.  It sat in an unprotected, abandoned storage area behind a dealership for at least 30 years. It's actually a pretty straight old car with, in my opinion, a huge amount of potential.  I just don't have the time, ability, and interest to do anything with it. While loading it to bring it in, its bad passenger-side front door got tweaked and the door glass shattered. The windshield has a couple chips in it, but it could be used as is.

Please do your homework before bidding on this non-running vehicle.  I live just outside Blanding, UT, 84511 and it is pricey and difficult to get a shipper in here.  More than likely, shipping it any distance will cost you more than what you will probably be able to get the car for.  Assuming we don't get a lot of snow or rain, we should be able to get the car out without too much difficulty, especially with a good winch or roll-back. If weather does intervene, there is no problem with leaving it where it sits for some time.

This is a no-reserve auction, so, obviously, my starting price of $700 means that if I get one bid for that amount, then the car will sell.  I have no idea if I'm in the ballpark, so I'll let you, the buyers, decide what it's worth. If it's not worth that much to someone, then I'll have to reassess it and go from there.

I want a $200 deposit through Paypal within 48 hours of the close of the auction and then we can determine how the rest is to be paid off, depending on your pick up plans and so forth.

Once again, I only know what I've told you and what I can physically see about the car. I can take more pictures as needed or go down and check out specific parts/issues. Also, if you're in the vicinity and have interest, by all means, come and check it out yourself. Either email me through Ebay or call 435-459-0591 to discuss it or get more information.

I have a clear Utah title to it.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We 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.
