40K mi maint (have $650 order from Pelican arriving Thu)

new tires (arrive Wed from TR, installed on Thu)

PDK flush - will need to schedule with the dealer

a few nicks & knacks on the ext, along with a 4-step polish to remove swirls

repair a few items

Kind of a std Wheeler Dealer car for me. I'm out of town for Christmas, so I have to work around arrival dates when ordering stuff.

She should be mechanically all set and look like new when I'm done.

Thanks for the info, I was just curious, I am sure it will look like new! I hope you have a great Christmas!

A consignment twofer has landed in my lap:

85 911 coupe (no pics until Sat) - manual, 105K mi, blk / gray

70 Chevelle SS - silver / blk, 396 L34, auto, buckets

My question is - besides Hemmings and NOT auction sites, where else should I advertise the SS?

Husker, I believe that these cars are very popular in SoCal, perhaps LA craigslist?

Great idea. I'll incl an ad there.

And I owe you a response on the brake pads. I bought my last 2 sets from F C P and I can get free refills if I get off my butt and send them back. Appreciate the offer.

Here are some pics of the 85 911.

It's black with a gray / green int and sport seats. Sweet!

New fuchs, new tires.

Very nice! What part is green on the interior?

All of it - seats, doors, dash, even the leather on the momo wheel. The green washes out in the sunlight but it looks more green than gray in the shade. Cool color because it looks different in different light. My 87 shark had gray / green int with linen seats. Here's a pic of the driver's seat and doorcard, which highlight the green a bit more. Hard color to get true in a pic.

Interesting, it sure looks gray for the most part. GLWS!

Husker, these cars are very popular everywhere! I wouldn't fool around with anyone but a forum that is dedicated to the auto that you are trying to sell. Here is a forum that specializes in Chevelles and no other cars,

Got a cpl of pics of the 911 yesterday. They show the gray / green color a bit better.

I put a CL ad in LA, Denver, and KC. A guy in Orlando saw the LA ad and we worked out a deal! Thanks for the idea, Gilles.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a thread in ChevyTalk about the SS and someone there suggested the same website as you.

Been fun learning about 70 SS's. I was 11 yrs old when they were new, so I knew a little bit about them (although I grew up in a Ford family). Know a whole lot more today.

Now on to selling the 911 and Spyder.

[husker boxster]

Been polishing, cleaning, and detailing the 911. She turned out spectacular.

[BruceH]

Looks like you have it well sorted, beautiful 911

By the way, you are killing me

[husker boxster]

The 911 is sold and heading 50 mi west to Lincoln. New owner picks her up on Sat. He's been looking for a nice 911, almost flew to Seattle to buy one but little did he know his dream car was close by.

🤞 on the Spyder.

�� on the Spyder.

No question, your wheeler-dealing is providing a valuable service to the community. Can an award be far behind?

[husker boxster]

This one is a bit off the reservation!



My friend with the 911 & Chevelle SS has a landscaping company and wants to sell one of his F-650. Not my normal Wheeler Dealer vehicle, but it will help me lick my Spyder wounds (more on that tomorrow).

Now I need to bone up on big trucks.
