1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe w/ factory 396
Glen Green with Black interior
Original survivor car from California
Original car - 70,180 miles
Originally purchased at Courtesy Chevrolet in San Jose California
One of the 618 Corvette 396 Coupes made.
Factory options include:
M20 4-speed transmission
Power disc brakes
Power windows
AM/FM radio w/ power antenna
Teak steering wheel on telescopic steering column
Car also has American Racing special D-spoke wheels made specifically for Corvette w/ disc brakes.
Parts that have been replaced through the years that I know of:
Fan clutch
Spark plugs/wires
hoses/clamps
Windshield
Passenger side muffler
front head pipes
Radiator - was bought new from Chevy dealer in '87
The engine had a bad piston when I bought the car and was gone through. Engine has all of the original components
with the exception of the transistor ignition, which was gone when I bought the car.
I have owned this car over 26 years, and have put 80 miles on it in those years. It has been kept indoors, always.
The exterior of the car has good patina, showing rock chips in the expected places. The car has had some paint
work, most likely in the '70s, as it has aged consistently with the rest of the finish and is nearly impossible to
distinguish where the work has been done.
This coupe is in excellent condition with a consistent patina, showing even wear throughout the car. This is not a
restored car and has the look and feel that a true survivor should. This car has not been detailed and is presented
exactly as it has been stored for the past 25+ years. And yes, that peace sign in the rear window is from back in
the day...
This Corvette drives excellently, with a very tight feel with zero bumps/rattles. Clutch and transmission work
effortlessly as you run through the gears and the car stops very well with the factory power disc brakes.
If you are looking for a restored Corvette then this is not the car for you. If you want an honest survivor with a
consistent look and feel throughout, and a car that you aren't afraid to drive, across country if you are so
inclined, than you will find none better equipped.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
