I am listing this Corvette for its second owner. He purchased it in 1969 from the original owner. At the time of his purchase, it had about 25,000 original miles. He has owned and maintained it since and is  selling it because he now drives it very little. I inspected the car today and found it to be an very good condition with some usual minor cosmetic issues. The paint is very good overall with a few small chips. The bumpers look good, but could stand to be rechromed. The interior is entirely original showing no abnormal wear. I have experience judging at shows and would consider this to be a good honest car needing only minor restoration, and one that is not often found and highly desirable. 

After the seller purchased the car, he removed the 427 engine because he wanted to save it. He installed a 454 at that time, and it remains in the car and runs well. The 427 was kept and is included with the car. It has had the heads rebuilt with hardened valve seats. The owner has  kept any original parts that were replaced over the years and will include them also. Anything such as the stock chrome distributor cover not shown in the pictures is present. The original steel wheels are also included in addition to the knockoff cast 
aluminum aftermarket wheels on the car.   
The description of the car is as follows: The original factory color is sun flower yellow. The interior is black and all original. Options and features include AO1 soft ray tinted glass,CO7 auxiliary hardtop, F41 special front and rear suspension, 4-speed manual transmission,  G81 positraction rear axle 3.70, J50 power brakes(dual master cylinder), J56 special heavy-duty brakes, K66 transistor ignition, L72 425 HP 4-barrel 427 engine, N32 Teakwood steering wheel, N36 telescopic steering wheel, U69 AM/FM pushbutton radio with power antenna, and stock 4 core radiator.                                                                                                                                                                                                               Conditions of purchase: The winning bidder will pay a 5% nonrefundable deposit within 48 hours of the auction's close by paypal. Balance of the purchase price will be payable in cash or cashier's check upon pickup of the vehicle within a week of the auction's close. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.                                                                                     I will be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The 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.
