1962 Corvette VIN 20867S111881CA. This is a matching numbers car. Exceptionally solid driver that purrs like a
kitten. This car was originally white and was painted black in about 1971. Paint looks perfect!
It is a true barn find. Exterior is black, interior is black and hard top is black (also has white softtop as original color was white). POWER WINDOWS work great and are original. Four speed manual and 327ci/300hp. Odometer reading 99,800 which is quite cool since odometer has not yet flipped. Wonderbar radio, clock and all gauges in working order except fuel gauge always says full = ) All dash lights work perfect. This is an
exceptionally sound corvette and is a true investment. Car is in Roseville, CA (Sacramento area).
The subtle and easy changes to take back to completely original are as follows:
The corvette has six tail lights that look so cool. The change was made when my uncle painted. This is a conversion that was mentioned in the old Jan and Dean Song "Dead Mans Curve" It also has headers with 3 inch straight pipes "sounds amazing" There are also ladder bars. Not hard to change any of this stuff back.
The oil and filter were changed, rear end fluid changed, transmission fluid changed, coolant flushed and new radiator installed. Bushings on sway bar were changed, new headlights, all new locks and keys, brand new tires wheels and hubcaps put new license plate bracket on. Both plates are original and was the first year for black and yellow. New air filter, new badges and new truck liner.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
