This is a matching number 327/365 hp, 4-spd 1965 Corvette Convertible. The restoration was started some years ago and the body was taken off the frame at that time. The frame is immaculate and has been all sandblasted and painted with new fuel lines, brake lines, body mounts, front end etc. The body was remounted and the car was painted with its original Rally Red color. The paint was done some time ago and it looks okay, but is not real nice. There are scrapes and dings and touchups all over and the gaps at the doors aren't real nice. The chrome bumpers are pretty good though. The interior is supposed to be black, but the previous owner started to convert it to red, so I kept it going. The seats have been recovered and both dash pads and the door panels have been replaced with red ones. This project still needs to be finished. The car has a new engine and dash wiring harness, but I only hooked up the ignition portion so the car can be started and moved. Of course, you can drive the car around and shift through all four gears, but the rest of the harness and the new light harness need to be installed. The headlight motors are in the buckets. The brakes and suspension on the car are all good and it drives quite well. There still are some parts missing, the most expensive of which is probably the clock, but I may have one soon. I have the rear view mirror, side mirror and horn button. Also I believe I have all the pieces of the ignition shielding and they are original. I also have a new power antenna and the spare tire bucket. The convertible top frame is good with a new header bow, but it needs a soft top. The side exhaust pipes are original NOS GM. The 327/365 hp engine seems to be all original and matching and even the 4-spd Muncie M-21 transmission is matching numbers with the VIN. The block casting number is 3782870 with a casting date of L 28 4. The heads are cast 3782461 with matching casting dates of L 14 4. The assembly date on the block is 12 29 and of course the HL code is there along with the VIN# of the car. The intake is 3844461. You can hear the solid lifters clacking away in the engine and it runs strong. Overall, this car is not going to win Bloomington Gold, but all the work that needs to be done can be finished by one individual with very little that needs to be purchased, unless you want to repaint the car. Matching number 327/365hp cars are very hard to find, especially real red ones with the original tranny. I priced the car very reasonable to help pay for another car, so please be serious of you bid. Remember this is an ongoing project and like most things on ebay it probably looks better in the pictures than in real life. The fuel injection emblems were put there by the previous owner to clone a fuel car. The emblems are original and I may still be able to get the fuel unit he was going to use if someone is interested, but this is a 365hp corvette, not a real 375ph fuel car.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
