Vehicle came out of Maryland. This car was acquired from the 3rd owner I believe. It was basically an original survivor that has had a repaint recently. Real SS car with some nice options! When I bought it I drove it all the way home to NY and did some minor work on it here and there as needed. Surprising how nice this car feels and rides. Almost everything in the car works, including the power windows, wipers, radio and even the horn!

Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close flawlessly. I don't think you'll find a nicer original car for the money than this one! 

Under the hood lies the factory 409ci/340hp 4bbl. motor. This is a REAL passenger car 409 with the "X" on the driver's side of the block, and even has the "409SS " on the dipstick. It has been upgraded with a Holley 750cfm 4bbl. double-pumper carburetor, MSD plug wires and external performance ignition coil, as well as full headers into dual exhaust. Radiator is also upgraded to an aluminum unit for better cooling (with original fan shroud mounted on it).

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears without any noises or grinding. I drove the car about once a week, both around town and on the highway and it performs great. You can cruise with it on the highway all day at 65mph and I would trust it to drive anywhere at the drop of a hat. Very easy to drive with power steering and brakes. 

Interior is basically all stock with no modifications. Seats are in good shape (small rip by lower driver's side from getting in and out). Carpet is older but presentable. Door panels are in decent shape, with a couple of small rips by the armrests. Headliner should be replaced. Dash has had a plastic "cap" put over the original, which had cracks in it. Steering wheel in fair shape with a few cracks. Console in fairly good shape. Sunvisors need to be redone/replaced. Overall very presentable for a nice driver. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE ORIGINAL AND UNMOLESTED INTERIOR IN THE CAR.

 Underside has a GOOD FRAME on it. Normal scaly surface rust from decades of use. Floors appear to be in good shape overall with a couple of small areas that may need a small patch or two, but NO large holes. Trunk pan is SOLID and has had a patch on the middle flat section. Overall structurally sound and in good shape.

Chrome is original and presentable for a driver with some pitting throughout and minor surface rust. Bumpers should be replaced. Side trim looks fairly good but could use new tape inserts to make it pop.

Previous owner gave me a bunch of parts for this car as well so they are available to the winning bidder at an additional price if desired:

1) new gas tank
2) new trunk weatherstripping
3) used front bumper ends
4) new rear license plate trim piece
5) new rear taillight housings
6) new interior scuff plates
7) various other minor odds and ends

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in FAIR/GOOD overall shape throughout (could use a good wetsand and buff as it has some orange peel here and there and could have been prepped better before painting of course), with various imperfections throughout as it was NOT a $10K paintjob. Looks good from 20 feet. Not working: gas gauge (needs new sending unit), clock, windows work but are rather slow, tachometer (not connected), perhaps a bulb or two could use replacing. Carburetor needs to be primed when first started. Window trim is pitted and has rust spots in various places. Missing: cowl tag, door and trunk weatherstripping, driver's side sunvisor. A couple of the tires need replacing due to dry rot. Exhaust has a rattle and needs one hanger replaced. 

So overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be completely restored, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind. 

If you just want a GOOD LOOKING ORIGINAL SURVIVOR that runs/drives great and is loaded with rare options, then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need a considerable amount of restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
