1963 Corvette Stingray Split Window on 2040-cars
Humble, Texas, United States
Engine:327
Drive Type: 4 speed
Model: Corvette
Mileage: 13,000
Trim: coupe
This is my fathers corvette. He bought it used from a dealer in 1964.Car was original Sebring silver with black vinyl interior. I believe it came with a base level engine, my father cannot remember. My mother did not know the tin box she threw away had all the documentation on the car. What a shame! The car does not have the original engine, it was not with the car when my father got it. The car has a little over 13,000 original miles, it was rarely ever driven. In 1965 my father was drafted into the army, after customizing the rear fenders by flaring them, and he cut the front fenders to put exhaust out of them. While he was away my uncle drove the car and got into a minor front end accident that broke off the remaining fiberglass. The frame was not damaged. I have mostly all trim, windows, and headlight components. I am missing 2 corner trim pieces for the back windows.
This car has been in the family 49 years, my father never touched it again after he came back home from the army when he saw it was crashed. He planned to give me the car so we could build it together, but his health is not making that possible. I have no desire to build this car without him. The car was inspected by a professional restoration shop here in Houston and I was told that the bird cage may have to be completely removed for rust repair. For the sake of disclosure please bid with this in mind and assume it will have to be removed during the restoration process. I have many original fiberglass panels and headlight assemblies as pictured.
I have pictures of the car throughout the stages of it sitting the last 40 years if you would like to see them Id be happy to share. This car need to go to someone that can appreciate it more than we can. Thanks for looking.
I HAVE CLEAR TRANSFERABLE NY REGISTRATION IN MY NAME. (Pre 1973 vehicles in NY do not have titles, only transferable registration.)

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
