HERE WE HAVE A VERY NICE, RUST FREE, 1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THIS BEAUTY IS ALL ORIGINAL AND NUMBERS MATCHING 283 / AUTO. THE AUTOMATIC CARS ARE HARD TO FIND. I LOOKED FOR A WHILE FOR THIS ONE, SO MY WIFE COULD GET IN IT ANYTIME, AND DRIVE WITHOUT HASSLE. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED AT SOME POINT LONG AGO. THE PAINT LOOKS GOOD, BUT DOES HAVE SOME BLEMISHES WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP, WEATHER STRIPPING, DASH PAD, AND WINDSHIELD WERE REPLACED IN 2004, AND STILL LOOK NEW. I INSTALLED A CORRECT LOOKING RADIO WITH USB PORT. THE ORIGINAL RADIO WAS REMOVED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE CAR. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED 11/11. OTHER THAN THAT THIS CAR IS PRETTY MUCH THE WAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY IN 1961. SHE HAS CLOCKED 77,990 MILES. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE HEATED AND COOLED GARAGE, I DROVE IT ON A 1800 MILE TRIP WITH THE TOP DOWN AND WITH ZERO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A TIRE ISSUE. SHE GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF COKER W.W.W. AND AN ALIGNMENT AS SOON AS I GOT HOME. SHE DIDN'T USE ANY OIL EITHER. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK. THE TACH WAS MAKING NOISE, SO I DISCONNECTED THE CABLE UNDER THE HOOD. PROBABLY NEEDS REBUILT. THE CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY. THE HEATER WORKS GOOD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TROUBLE FREE C-2 VETTE, THAT YOU CAN GET IN AND GO TO THE LOCAL CRUISE IN, DINNER, OR A ROAD TRIP, THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR. SHE IS NOT A SHOW QUEEN, BUT I GET LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS, AND THUMBS UP EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I WOULDNT BE ASHAMED AT A LOCAL SHOW EITHER. I WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE. SHE GETS 17 MPG TOO. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR NEED A SPECIFIC PICTURE, FEEL FREE TO ASK. I WOULD ONLY BE INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR SOME TYPE OF RESTO ROD WITH SEATING FOR 4 (PREFER GM). NO PROJECTS. I DON'T NEED ANY MORE BOATS, ATV'S, CAMPERS, HARLEYS. I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF SELLING THIS CAR, BUT A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY HAS MADE IT A COLLECTOR'S PIECE, AND I WANT TO DRIVE MY MACHINES. THANKS

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
