HERE WE HAVE A VERY NICE, RUST FREE, 1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THIS BEAUTY IS ALL ORIGINAL AND NUMBERS MATCHING 283 / AUTO. THE AUTOMATIC CARS ARE HARD TO FIND. I LOOKED FOR A WHILE FOR THIS ONE, SO MY WIFE COULD GET IN IT ANYTIME, AND DRIVE WITHOUT HASSLE. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED AT SOME POINT LONG AGO. THE PAINT LOOKS GOOD, BUT DOES HAVE SOME BLEMISHES WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP, WEATHER STRIPPING, DASH PAD, AND WINDSHIELD WERE REPLACED IN 2004, AND STILL LOOK NEW. I INSTALLED A CORRECT LOOKING RADIO WITH USB PORT. THE ORIGINAL RADIO WAS REMOVED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE CAR. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED 11/11. OTHER THAN THAT THIS CAR IS PRETTY MUCH THE WAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY IN 1961. SHE HAS CLOCKED 77,990 MILES. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE HEATED AND COOLED GARAGE, I DROVE IT ON A 1800 MILE TRIP WITH THE TOP DOWN AND WITH ZERO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A TIRE ISSUE. SHE GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF COKER W.W.W. AND AN ALIGNMENT AS SOON AS I GOT HOME. SHE DIDN'T USE ANY OIL EITHER. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK. THE TACH WAS MAKING NOISE, SO I DISCONNECTED THE CABLE UNDER THE HOOD. PROBABLY NEEDS REBUILT. THE CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY. THE HEATER WORKS GOOD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TROUBLE FREE C-2 VETTE, THAT YOU CAN GET IN AND GO TO THE LOCAL CRUISE IN, DINNER, OR A ROAD TRIP, THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR. SHE IS NOT A SHOW QUEEN, BUT I GET LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS, AND THUMBS UP EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I WOULDNT BE ASHAMED AT A LOCAL SHOW EITHER. I WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE. SHE GETS 17 MPG TOO. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR NEED A SPECIFIC PICTURE, FEEL FREE TO ASK. I WOULD ONLY BE INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR SOME TYPE OF RESTO ROD WITH SEATING FOR 4 (PREFER GM). NO PROJECTS. I DON'T NEED ANY MORE BOATS, ATV'S, CAMPERS, HARLEYS. I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF SELLING THIS CAR, BUT A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY HAS MADE IT A COLLECTOR'S PIECE, AND I WANT TO DRIVE MY MACHINES. THANKS

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
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.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
