1968 Chevelle Convertible Ls2 Custom Chassis C6 Corvette Rare "corvelle" Project on 2040-cars
Seminole, Florida, United States
|
Car started as a 1968 Chevelle Convertible, auto 350 car, in great shape, owned by former professional athlete. When he blew the motor a couple years ago, he searched for something more, and found a damaged 2008 corvette with some more power. He sent the Chevelle to a local frame shop, and had a custom chassis constructed of steel as you see, so that the wheelbase would match that of the Chevelle, as the corvette was shorter. The corvette torque tube was custom made, and the front and rear suspensions were professionally attached to the custom made frame. This is a tedious and expensive process to get a car to this stage, this much you should be able to see. The Chevelle then went to a body shop for floors and new paint, as well as the fiberglass dash, this is also where the trunk lid, convertible top, and grill went missing. After much headache, he went and bought a new luxury sports car and left in one of his garages, where i picked it up. The guy i was going to have work on it is off filming a tv show somewhere, and i don't want to wait for his return, so i am putting it up for sale.
Clean Florida title as a 1968 Chevelle, i will add the vin tomorrow when i check the title at my office. Last 8 of vin are stamped on firewall, and fender tag is intact. Currently in project stage as you see, drivetrain (Auto and LS2) and body are mounted, the staggered 18/19 corvette wheels and tires are in amazing shape, frame work is truly a work of art. Power windows install was started as well. Car currently has piston powered vertical lift doors on, forgot to grab a picture with the doors up. It rolls and comes with some air ride and misc parts as you see in pictures, which include wiring harness, bumpers, ECU, battery ground and some AC lines. The body has no rust, and no previous body work, has a couple touch ups as you see to prep for new paint. I am only able to find record of one of these cars ever offered for sale completed, and it was last listed for sale at over $100k at Mecum and was on ebay at some point for $109k if memory serves me right. It is worth twice what i am asking just in parts, and should be an amazing car once someone takes the time to finish it. Please ask any questions, and serious buyers can call me at 845.633.3113 to discuss. Car can be stored through end of the month if needed once payment is made. Car is for sale locally and i reserve the right to end auction if sold locally. I would like to sell it straight out, and am not sure if i am selling too cheap here, so I will consider market ready late model car or boat in the 20k value range as comparable trade, no more projects for me, kid on the way. Thank you for looking. |

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
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.
