Up for sale is a red 1963 Corvette convertible. I'm selling this because I'm going to college and can no longer afford it. The frame and birdcage is absolutely rust-free. Try finding a 1963-1982 Corvette without rust. Good luck, they are getting harder and harder to find. This car spent much of it's life in Texas. I still have the Texas plates from 1986 and the insurance card. The NOM Chevy small block engine runs great but the car won't shift smoothly. When you try to change gears, it's very difficult to get to the gear that you want. This happened after my brother pulled the transmission to replace the clutch - it shifted fine before. I was told that it might be the transmission linkage but I am not a mechanic, so I can't say for sure. The previous owner put the new top and carpet in the car. Car also has completely brand new exhaust from the manifolds back. My brother started to detail the passenger's side fender, which can be seen in the pictures. He did not do the detail work recently (about 2 months ago), the paint does look that good. It is not just the fillers in the polish. The car could use some minor body work to be a nice looking driver. The convertible top frame needs minor adjustment because it won't close down all the way (1/4"). As the car is 50 years old it does need finishing touches in most aspects, but the car is structurally solid and will make a great driver with minimal work. All this car needs to be 100% complete is a couple minor interior pieces. If you have any question please feel free to message me on eBay or call me at 1-262-309-7453. This car can't be driven home, it will have to be trailered back. I am willing to work with the buyer and can coordinate shipping if desired. This is a no reserve auction. Whatever it sells for is the final price.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
