I'm selling my 1961 corvette project, would make a good beater driver with some work or fix up, restore.. Not numbers matching, motor is locked up and shot, rusted frozen hunk of metal. Trans may also be shot, no idea. Sat for years. Front passenger side frame rail has damage but is fine for a driver. Was driven 20 years ago like that. ( I found they sell the rail new and can be replaced if you want to do a frame off) Nose has lots of old fiberglass damage, Inner fenders cut out in spots as last owner was thinking of adding side headers and side pipes. It has a big block style very old after market hood. Rear quarters where cut years ago for big tires. I have repair quarter panels that go about 8 inches around rear wheel wells and the bonding strips, front head light repair strips for top front of fenders. Included is a complete extra front bolt in frame unit with control arms etc, It came from a running driving car with brakes , lines etc. Both soft top frame assembly ( think I am missing one small soft to bracket where the top bolts to body....other side has it. and hard top included, both need to be restored. Missing a door panel. I have the complete seats, seat cushions frames have much rust on the bars, covers are vintage hot rod look, in black, could use but will need a good cleaning, Inside car, rust on a pillars, pass door shuts fine, drivers not to bad, have most dash parts may be missing some things, no dash pad ( hole cut by side of shifter edge on tunnel, have tach speedo and gauges, have old but rusty gas tank( would buy new) have gas tank deck cover, drive shaft, trans is still in car, 4 speed, do not have the shifter , have all bumpers front and back.
. There are a couple ways to go with this car, Buy a complete modern chassis to make a resto rod....great investment if you watch barret jackson and watched the prices, or put is a running motor etc and do a bit of glass work and make a fun driver. Car is an original Jewel Blue car. Clear title in my name and have the original vin plate from steering column ( an other great GM idea) They fall off and this did to and I have it in a envelope with title. Great project. $23,000.reserve Sorry price is firm. In a few more weeks I will start getting the car road worthy and keep it for the summer.
If you hate this car, same your emails, As I hate it to, yes they are worthless to you I know this already, I do not care , yes this is a ugly, shot, beat up, worthless junk that is still what is left of a 1961 corvette and some people can fix up cars in their own garage and say they did work themselves. Sorry I guess I am so old now that I remember people that could fix up cars like this. Then again some have more money and can pay the rate and will have more in the car than worth. I am even telling you don't buy fix up junks like this if you can't work on a car. Buy new and make payments.. This vette will need lots of work. And I have a title in my name. This is a great start, to own a nice driver ( beater corvette) car for a cheap price.
Now, dealers, If you have corvettes like this for sale for 10,000 to 15, 0000. Please all you corvette dealers call me and I would buy them from you. Yes I have cash in hand. Funny how that is. All the dealers are calling telling me how many cars they have? My car is junk... Yes I already told you that. Why are you still looking for more junks? Because just like you say you buy so many restored cars like this for $25.000. If you do, you are very lucky and keep buying them it helps the economy. Please save your low ball offers. I do not need the money, I could use the space. TV show restored cars that is the way to go, no one wants to fix up and drive a car they can work on. Si if you want a nice project bid or email a phone number. I'm sorry emails with out phone numbers will not be returned. I am also not showing the car as it is in storage.
Last the wheels that are on the car are owned by a friend and are not included in the sale of the car. If you want to buy them I could ask him.
Pickup with in 10 days or car will be resold. Payment will be cash in hand. And only cash in hand. Title will be filled out with new buyers name. No deposit needed as it is just more worthless paper work. You other want to come pay for the car or your do not.
Remember you do not want this car it needs to much work and really is pretty much worthless as I have been told by expert corvette people, that still want to buy my car but for less so they can resell it and once they own it it will be transformed into gee a 1961 corvette... worth more. But I still want $23000. LOL

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...
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
