1964 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Roadster/Convertible
This is the quintessential driver quality C2 Corvette Roadster! Beautiful color combination that demands attention
everywhere it goes. I purchased the car from a older gentleman earlier this year who was moving to Nevada and was
unable to bring the car with him. He had owned the car for the past 20years. If he was lucky he was able to put on
a few hundred miles on in a year. I have had the opportunity to drive the car this year and put on well over 2,500+
miles. From cruises in town to 4-5hour round trips to Door County Wisconsin the car has never let me down. I am
reluctant to sell it however another classic car has gained my interest and I simply do not have the garage space
for the both of them.
ENGINE: The engine is known to be a factory replacement 327ci. The casting #'s match a 62'-67' 327. As for the
rest of the engine compartment it has aluminum intake manifold and valve covers. Most other engine components are
original type. The engine compartment is clean and well serviced. I do have receipts for the engine being rebuilt
by a classic car restoration shop in 2008 about 5-6k miles ago.
TRANSMISSION: 4-speed manual Muncie transmission with hurst shifter.
SUSPENSION: The suspension is solid and claimed to be in very-good un-restored condition. Suspension components for
the most part are original. This was very important to me and I had the car inspected prior to me purchasing it for
peace of mind. No worries here!
As for the rest of the car the major interior parts carpets, seats, and door panels are in very good condition. The
gauges, radio, glove box, dash, seat belts, and trim all fit well. The original clock is hidden behind a cover. The
clock could use a rebuild and some tlc. The radio is inoperative and I have not addressed that issue. All gauges
work to my knowledge with the exception of the gas gauge. It has a tendency to read half or 3/4's when it's full
and correct at certain times. The gas tank itself is relatively new and is able to burn pump 91/93 premium fuel.
The exterior of the car is very presentable and grabs attention with the tan interior combination. For the most
part there is no spider cracking or major imperfections. There is scratch or knick here or there however the paint
is in overall good condition for its age. Chrome also is in good condition with little to no oxidization and normal
pitting. There is a painted to match hardtop that compliments the car very nicely. The hardtop is in good shape and
fits fairly well. One could replace weather-strips down the road for better fitment however this didn't bother me.
One of my favorites is the tan soft-top. The soft-top is in excellent shape and was recently replaced including all
new hardware, nuts & bolts. Overall this is not your frame-off restoration 6 figure car.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
