1965 Corvette Convertible ( 396 Clone ) with 4 speed transmission. UU Code Rally Red paint, Black interior and White soft top. This is a very restorable just don't have the time to go through it. The motor has less than a 1,000 miles with date correct 396 Block, Rectagular Port Heads and Aluminum Intake. I spent over 20K converting this from a non matching numbers 327 to a 396 producing over 425HP. Options include Original AM/FM Radio, Telescopic Steering Column, After Market Knockoff Wheel, Correct Tires, Power Steering and Hardtop.

I have owned the car since 1982 and believe this is the original paint. It may have had one repaint but not sure. The car needs to be repainted. The entire drive train is in great shape.

I have added a few new pictures based on some recent questions concerning the frame and number of paint jobs. The frame is in good shape for being 48 years old but could use some attention on the driver side frame rail in front of the rear tire. The rest of the frame is in great shape.  I lightly DA the car with 150 grit to show that there has been two repaints since original, not bad considering the age of the car sorry for any confusion.

Trying to answere all the question I'm getting I have included a picture of the passenger side engine block and a spare block I have that is not included in this auction but will be available to the purchaser for an additional cost. These blocks are so rear and getting more expensive each day.It always makes sense to have a spare block for this type of car.

 

I have listed some of the major costs in the past couple of years to convert to a 396. It cost me in parts alone about 20K

 

Bare Block # 3855962 = $3,000

Bare Heads # 3856208 = $3,500

Stock Intake #386693 = $400

Big Block Hood = $1,100

Rotating Assembly = $1,500

Stock Crank = $300

Machine Shop Labor & Parts =$4,000

Big Block Core Support = $450

Big Block Fan Shroud = $335

Big Block Radiator = $600

Clutch Assembly & Linkage = $325

Big Block Bell Housing = $300

Water Pump / Alternator Brackets & Pulleys= $500

New White Top = $400

Power Steering Pump & Brackets = $375

Air Cleaner / Valve Covers = $225

Major parts total $17,310 and this is only about 80% of the cost not including labor

Hi

I can't believe the number of questions I have been getting and want to make sure there are no surprises for the bidders. When I purchased this car back in 1983 the insurance company ( as they do with Corvettes back in the 80's) wanted to inspect the car. and what they found was a VIN TAG they thought had been tampered with and required me to put Massachusetts VIN #'s on the car. The original VIN #  194675S119235 does match the numbers on the frame and at the time I didn't feel like fighting with the registry over the numbers. I have added pictures of the CORVETTE VIN TAG / CORVETTE DATA TAG & The Massachusetts VIN #. It can be changed back and there are companies that do that for you it just never was a big deal for me.

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.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
