This started as a rust free Palm Springs, CA car. Took me four years to complete. Got a ton of money into it and know I'll take a huge loss, but that's the current market we live in. My third Cancer surgery is on Monday, and even with good insurance the out of pocket costs are steep. Time to let this go and let someone else enjoy it. I'm not a kid anymore anyway. I'll describe it as best I can but will inevitably miss something. Feel free to ask any questions. 12 Years on eBay and I still have perfect feedback.

I bought this as an unfinished project from a guy in Los Angeles who got in over his head and ran out of funds. Well over $40K into it. 1961 Chevrolet in Corona Cream. Excellent recent paint. The interior is leather w/suede inserts. 44" power moon roof in front and 44" fixed moon roof in rear. One piece suede headliner. Dakota Digital dash. IDIDIT steering column. The sound system was featured in the July 2007 issue of Low Rider Magazine called "Wagon Days". Custom built subwoofer and amps hid in spare tire wheel well. All new glass and power windows. (except original tailgate) Rebuilt drivetrain. 396 cubic inch engine and 4L60E transmission. Aluminum radiator with dual electric fans for max cooling. New battery. Dual Flowmaster exhausts. The chassis has new disc brakes on all four corners. The calibers are show chromed. New front end with shocks and springs all the way around. New fuel cell underneath floor compartment in cargo area. The wheels are one off billet prototypes that were eventually deemed too expensive to be put into production. (They were $8,500 alone) 20 x 8.5 in the front and 22 x 11 in the back all wrapped in brand new Goodrich G-Force rubber.

I've since changed the air cleaner to a lower profile model. I included a pic. An extra set of tires is also included. The stickers are still attached. I'll also throw in a Retro Tech shifter if you want it. Paid around a grand for it but ended up liking what was already installed. Not perfect but a very, very nice car. Would most likely only take a few hours to get it entirely up to your liking. Heater delete. Needs oil and fuel cell sending units. Speedometer needs to be calibrated. Instructions and directions for those 3 items included. Can't find anybody in these cornfields to help me with it. Just me and the dog here. Only driven a few times locally so I never worried about it. Might have all of 120 miles on it. I own several cars and motorcycles. Retired so my schedule is extremely flexible. Happy to work with you and your shipper. Storage not a problem. Thanks for your time and consideration. Good luck, good health, stay well.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For 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.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
