Couple things to mention\u2026 \r\n\r\nThe one open recall is for the windshield wiper motor. DeHaven Chevrolet placed an order for the part/s as of a couple weeks ago, but no guarantee part/s will show up by the end of the auction, let alone show up at all due to the age of the recall. \r\n\r\nAt the time of the water pump/spark plugs/belt replacement, DeHaven Chevy also performed an oil change. While it\u2019s been a couple years since then, it\u2019s only been driven about 500 miles since then.\r\n \r\nThe extra set of 16\u201d 5-spoke twists are the original wheels. The tires have a ton of tread left on them but they are several years old. We just really like the look of the 16\u201d steel wheels so we bought this set (receipt in photo gallery) and had the new tires mounted on them. You could swap the new tires to the original wheels if you prefer that look. Regardless, the extra set will fit in the cargo area if you plan to ship it. \r\n\r\nWe repainted the hood because the bug deflector (that was installed by TST on 7-5-1996) left some scratches where it mounted to the hood. Unfortunately I don\u2019t have a picture of that, but the receipt for the bug deflector is included in the pictures to show proof of one being on there before. \r\n\r\nSome other things we\u2019ve handled since our ownership: new battery, new air filter, new wipers, new OEM headlights (they were a little faded before), and we replaced the cover over the blower motor. When we cleaned a noisy leaf out of the blower motor, we found the foam on the backside of that cover was starting to break down. We also recharged the A/C when we acquired it. It works great and blows cold.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019d like to see it in person, it\u2019s currently at my house in Auburn, Indiana. If you plan to transport it, I\u2019ll get it to the shop in Fort Wayne so it\u2019s easier for the driver and probably cheaper for you. \r\n \r\nI know that\u2019s a lot of info but I like to be thorough. Feel free to click the \u201ccontact seller\u201d button if you have questions but prefer chatting privately. \r\n\r\nBest regards,\r\nAlex Vorderman", "likes": 10, "timestamp": 1743882290, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 17279565, "authorName": "Gospo85", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/gospo85/", "bidAmount": 13000, "content": "USD $13,000 bid placed by Gospo85", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1743882429, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 17279577, "authorName": "jdjonesdr", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/jdjonesdr/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Got one of these in White.
