1961 Corvette Convertible Numbers Matching Survivor W/ Hardtop on 2040-cars
Auburn Hills, Michigan, United States
|
1961 Corvette Convertible. I am selling this car for the family of the owner who has passed away. He had owned the car for 20 years and the previous owner had it for 14 years. Prior to me removing the car from their garage, it had been in storage for the last 10 years. It has now been fully serviced by a specialist and runs, drives and stops great.
This car has its original, numbers matching 283 / 230hp V8 with a 3 speed manual transmission. Oil pressure is excellent and ALL of the gauges work. The car was originally a black car with blue interior. It retains its original blue interior and is in very good condition for its age. The car was re-painted a 1972 Corvette blue in the late 1970s. The paint is in generally good condition, but shows its age in areas. These spots include some small cracks, chips and other defects. In all, still very presentable for a survivor. There are some dents in the cove moldings on the passenger side, the the drivers side is quite good. I have a set of NOS moldings still in the wrappers that could go with the car. the radio is an aftermarket replacement, but I have an original wonderbar radio and speaker that will go with the car. The spare tire, jack and tools are in the trunk. Even the owners manual is with the car. The chassis is in very good condition with no signs of serious corrosion. The factory hard top is also in very good condition, although there is some crazing in the window. The soft top is white and the top mechanism is very good. The top is in good condition and the rear window is clear and flexible. Most of the weather strips on the top and doors appear to be original and are rather crispy. The Tachometer and the Clock are inoperative. Everything else works. During its recent service it also received a new fuel tank and sending unit. This car is a very solid, reliable, complete and original example. Please ask any questions you might have prior to bidding. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. The car is being sold "as is" without any warranties of any kind. I encourage you to inspect the car in person. Thank you for your interest. On Jun-03-14 at 17:56:40 PDT, seller added the following information: I have confirmed that the engine and transmission had been rebuilt. |

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
