 This is my fathers corvette. He bought it used from a dealer in 1964.Car was original Sebring silver with black vinyl interior. I believe it came with a base level engine, my father cannot remember. My mother did not know the tin box she threw away had all the documentation on the car. What a shame! The car does not have the original engine, it was not with the car when my father got it. The car has a little over 13,000 original miles, it was rarely ever driven. In 1965 my father was drafted into the army, after customizing the rear fenders by flaring them, and he cut the front fenders to put exhaust out of them. While he was away my uncle drove the car and got into a minor front end accident that broke off the remaining fiberglass. The frame was not damaged. I have mostly all trim, windows, and headlight components. I am missing 2 corner trim pieces for the back windows.

This car has been in the family 49 years, my father never touched it again after he came back home from the army when he saw it was crashed. He planned to give me the car so we could build it together, but his health is not making that possible. I have no desire to build this car without him. The car was inspected by a professional restoration shop here in Houston and I was told that the bird cage may have to be completely removed for rust repair. For the sake of disclosure please bid with this in mind and assume it will have to be removed during the restoration process. I have many original fiberglass panels and headlight assemblies as pictured.

I have pictures of the car throughout the stages of it sitting the last 40 years if you would like to see them Id be happy to share. This car need to go to someone that can appreciate it more than we can. Thanks for looking.

I HAVE CLEAR TRANSFERABLE NY REGISTRATION IN MY NAME. (Pre 1973 vehicles in NY do not have titles, only transferable registration.)

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
