Here is the ultimate starter car for someone looking to build the 70 Chevelle they have always wanted.  The body is super solid and virtually rust free. What is visible in the pics is surface rust only, Nevada cars do not have rust issues like many other states. The car has been stripped down to bare metal so you can see exactly what you are getting.  I did the most crucial areas and what is left on the doors and front clip is a very thin coat of primer. There is no rust on the doors or front clip and the only dent, still covered by primer, is on the drivers front fender. The worst part of the car is the passenger side rearand the corner of the hood near the windshield.  It had bad body work but still no rust. It can easily be massaged back to near perfect condition by a competent bodyman.  There is no panel on this car that is even close to needing replacement.  The roof is also very solid as you can see NO PITTING of any kind or any back window rust.  Take a good look at the floor pans, they are really, really solid and tight, no boulder damage or whatever people seem to run over.  Again, the surface rust you see is just surface stuff that can be removed with a wire wheel, NO PITTING.  Antoher great thing about this car is it has not been over dissassembled.  What that means is for some reaon people love to take apart cars that have never doen it before and take apart the door guts and dash parts that do not need to come apart.  The doors and rear quarters inside have never been touched.  All of the window regulators, glass etc.. are in perfect shape and function perfectly, if you build cars you should really apprecitae this.  Same for the dash it is still intact and only the lower A/C plastic was removed but I  have all of it.  So back to the body, as you can see it has very solid panels, rockers, and everything that is usually rusty is not.  It was a vynial top car, which usually equals rust but take a really good look and double click the pics to blow them up to full size, no pitting and no rear window rust. Doors open and shut nice, all body gaps are really good, no inner fenders. ( I would like to build this car for someone so if you want it built I can help you get this as far as you would like.) The glass is in great shape only the rear window has some minor scrathces.  The front glass is new. The milage is oroginal 71K thats it.  I found the build sheet, but who cares it was a nothing car with a 350.  It would make a great big block clone or LS conversion car.  I have the seats and the rears were redone as shown and I do have the material to finish the fronts if you want it.  It has a tilt column that is nice and tight. Ignition keys but no door or trunk keys, trunk lock hole not butchered.  The rear end is a stock 12 bolt, open carrier no idea what the gears are but they probably suck.  Front disc brakes and tubular control arms, frame was cleaned and painted.  I have the A/C stuff but I would use the A/C delete cover or go aftermarket.  I just have the firewall A/C stuff.  The hood is an original GM Super Sport hood, not a repop so worth putting a few dollars into.  I have the front end wiring harness and all of it looks intact and useable.  The window trim is missing and what is there needs to be replaced.  The trunk is also very solid and just needs clean up with a wire wheel.  The wheels and tires are just good for rolling around I would not consider using them, the wheels are fine if you are into that look.  I have described the car to the best of my recollection but please do not assume anything! Ask any and all questions prior to bidding.  You are bidding to take this home or to own and have me build but not to hmmm and haaaa over it. Got it, great... Also this car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early so dont wait til the end of the auction, shoot me your best offer and a phone number and I will get back to you, if i don't, then reconsider your offer. The car is a roller with no brake pressure but it does steer. I f you need help with seting up transport I can help you there too. Clear open Nevada tilte in hand.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
