1974 Corvette Stingray with T tops
My wife basically inherited this car. It was a project my father in law started.
He purchased the drivetrain and installed it. He had his friend do the body and paint work.
The mileage on it is unknown since the car was completely taken down in his garage.
This is a car that I consider somewhat a project car. Its almost finished, but still needs little things
that are mostly personal taste items.
the technical stuff:
-new GM 350ci crate engine (290 HP) everything under hood is new
-freshly rebuilt TH400 transmission think he got it from jegs
-freshly rebuilt rear differential with 3.08 gears *just installed* rear was done by Van Steel in Florida last week
-freshly rebuilt front end with new brakes
-new Edelbrock 650 4 BBL
-new Edelbrock intake manifold
-Hooker headers with mufflers with turn downs, exhaust isnt installed permamanet.
-too many new parts to list and remember
the paint stuff:
-fiberglassed body seams and painted by 30 year veteran body man
-custom paint (PPG products used)
-House of Color flakes
The paint looks great. it still needs buffing its got excellent clear coverage.
Interior
-tilt telescoping column completely rebuilt
-seats look new. I'm not sure who he had do them.
-all panels were painted.
-gages- temp, oil pressure, amps,work. Tach is not hooked up.
the details:
-car runs, drives, but still needs tweaking
-engine still needs more break in (under one hundred miles on it)
-needs little things finished
-have a lot of spare parts to finish (like AC compressor)
Even finished I'd consider this car a driver for cruise nights and shows. We dont know everthing about the car since
we never went thru it completely. We just dont drive it and need the space.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
