I am offering for sale a 1961 convertible Chevrolet Corvette. The color of the car is Jewel Blue and only 855 of the 10800 produced this year were this color. The exterior of the car has the original paint job and is in fair condition. There are some scratches and defects in the paint but the paint is in surprisingly good shape to be vintage. The car has both the original hard top and the soft top. The interior is black and blue but is not the original interior.
The car is a convertible and is equipped with both tops. It is also equipped with the original AM radio and the dash has not been molested and is in good shape. All of the gauges are real glass and work except for the gas, clock, and radio. The engine and brakes were rebuilt in June 2013, and I have the receipts for the work. The car is running and is drivable.
The car was purchased in 1983 from the original owner and was stored in a metal building from 1983 until 2013. The odometer is showing 23,999 miles and I was told is the correct mileage. Since being purchased, I have rebuilt the engine, all of the brake system, and the fuel system. All of the fluids have been changed and all of the lights are in working order. The car is running and can be driven.
The car is located in Guntown, Mississippi and can be shown by appointment. My number is 662 871-9299 if you have any specific questions concerning the item. The car is being sold "as is, where is," and no written, verbal, or implied warranty exist. The car is being offered locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION and feedback will be left on the buyer.
Payment terms, $500.00 US dollars are to be sent via paypal within 48 hours of the closing of the Auction. The balance of the Bid is due in CASH when the item is picked up. I have purchased and sold many cars on line and I am experienced in the closing process.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a Corvette enthusiast to own a rare piece of automobile history and a beautiful piece of artwork. Good luck bidders.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General 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.
