Super clean original low miles car. Sold new to Gilette Company as executive car. Then transferred to a summer home where it was garaged and rarely driven. Beautiful original interior showing little wear, no rips or splitting seams. New Clarks Carpet set installed. Original paint that shows patina, yet no signs of respray or any damage repair to any body panels. Original top and original back window date coded 1963. Power top works but needs pump gaskets. Top looks and fits great, no damage to original top other than 1 tiny tear that is taped. Perfect original top boot. Chrome is excellent and original, no damage. The chrome on the window top looks new, no pitting or scrapes.
Trunk compartment orginal paint and undamaged - no rust anywhere in the front trunk. The original window washer bottle is still full and the jack and jacking instructions are there.
Underside of the car is clean and original, no signs of rust anywhere on the body or panels and no signs of any damage or repair anywhere. There is normal surface rust on the front crossmember but NONE on the underside of the car. Very clean and unrestored.
Engine runs fine and is completely original and stock. There is great acceleration and starts easily. 1 tiny o-ring leak, it has not been resealed and is original.
This is a very clean and perfectly straight body, a perfect candidate as original stock. The paint, while old and showing patina is really attractive. All glass is good and the rubber seals around doors and windows are original and look new. There is a tiny 1'' rust spot next to the trunk lid. It is small and I prefered to leave it rather than restore it out.
If you are looking for a low mile orginal convertible - this is it.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
