Toney, Alabama, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: RWD
Model: Corvette
Mileage: 71,579
Trim: coupe
A possible "One of one" 1964 Corvette Coupe. One of the rarest air conditioned cars ever made. This is possibly the only car built the with rare option combination. 365hp cars with a/c are rare, but then throw in that this one is one of 552 cars built with transistorized ignition and you have a super rare car. This car was built Silver Blue with dark blue interior. Car retains most all of its interior. Light roll over in the early 70s, this car was never repaired, so it is a very original car Due to this, the car still has the original engine, transmission and rear end. The car also has the TI box and distributor. The dash has never been out of the car and retains all of the air conditioning equipment and duct work. I took this car to the frame shop and found out that not only is it straight, the frame guy stated that it is the best old car frame he has seen in 20 years! He said there are no bends, jack marks, or any rust other than very light surface rust. The bird cage has very little to no rust and the side glasses are in good condition. Other than the obvious fiberglass body parts, bumpers and emblems the only parts that I know of that are missing are the front and rear glass, cylinder heads, carburator and alternator. I am sure there are other small parts missing, however, these are most likely things that would be replaced in a restoration anyway. I also have parts for the car that are included that aren't pictured such as the headlight assemblies with original motors. This car will be an easy restoration because almost all of the parts are there and the damage done in the accident was mostly fiberglass. I purchased this car to restore for myself but because customer cars come first I am offering it up for sale as is. We are a full service corvette shop and can do all or part of the work to bring this car back to as new condition. You can check out our website to see the quality of work we perform at www.nuvintagecorvettes.com. The car is being sold as is, however, we have all of the high quality Sermersheim fiberglass parts in stock as well as complete Al Knoch interior parts needed to restore this car that can be sold seperately to the winning bidder (installed or not). Buy this 64 now and have it completed in time for the 60th anniversary reunion at Corvettes at Carlisle in August 2014! If you want a 64 in your midyear collection or desire an especially rare midyear corvette, then jump on this one! It's highly unlikely that you will find another 64 this rare with these options. Please feel free to email with any questions you may have. I want all bidders to feel as confident as I do as to the originality of this car. Good luck and happy bidding!

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
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.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
