This is a matching number 327/365 hp, 4-spd 1965 Corvette Convertible. The restoration was started some years ago and the body was taken off the frame at that time. The frame is immaculate and has been all sandblasted and painted with new fuel lines, brake lines, body mounts, front end etc. The body was remounted and the car was painted with its original Rally Red color. The paint was done some time ago and it looks okay, but is not real nice. There are scrapes and dings and touchups all over and the gaps at the doors aren't real nice. The chrome bumpers are pretty good though. The interior is supposed to be black, but the previous owner started to convert it to red, so I kept it going. The seats have been recovered and both dash pads and the door panels have been replaced with red ones. This project still needs to be finished. The car has a new engine and dash wiring harness, but I only hooked up the ignition portion so the car can be started and moved. Of course, you can drive the car around and shift through all four gears, but the rest of the harness and the new light harness need to be installed. The headlight motors are in the buckets. The brakes and suspension on the car are all good and it drives quite well. There still are some parts missing, the most expensive of which is probably the clock, but I may have one soon. I have the rear view mirror, side mirror and horn button. Also I believe I have all the pieces of the ignition shielding and they are original. I also have a new power antenna and the spare tire bucket. The convertible top frame is good with a new header bow, but it needs a soft top. The side exhaust pipes are original NOS GM. The 327/365 hp engine seems to be all original and matching and even the 4-spd Muncie M-21 transmission is matching numbers with the VIN. The block casting number is 3782870 with a casting date of L 28 4. The heads are cast 3782461 with matching casting dates of L 14 4. The assembly date on the block is 12 29 and of course the HL code is there along with the VIN# of the car. The intake is 3844461. You can hear the solid lifters clacking away in the engine and it runs strong. Overall, this car is not going to win Bloomington Gold, but all the work that needs to be done can be finished by one individual with very little that needs to be purchased, unless you want to repaint the car. Matching number 327/365hp cars are very hard to find, especially real red ones with the original tranny. I priced the car very reasonable to help pay for another car, so please be serious of you bid. Remember this is an ongoing project and like most things on ebay it probably looks better in the pictures than in real life. The fuel injection emblems were put there by the previous owner to clone a fuel car. The emblems are original and I may still be able to get the fuel unit he was going to use if someone is interested, but this is a 365hp corvette, not a real 375ph fuel car.

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.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
