1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray on 2040-cars
Boston, Georgia, United States
1965 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible
This Car has been Garage Kept in my family in a smoke free environment since 1977. 1965 Corvettes are perhaps
the biggest bargain of the mid-year period. They're not the iconic 63's yet they have all the up grades that came
in, '65 most notable is 4 wheel disc brakes and a small block rebuilt to factory specs. Obviously if you like
driving your Corvette this car represents tremendous bang for the buck. If you drive any mid year Corvette
especially a Rally Red Corvette Roadster your going to get noticed. Subject to an exhaustive cosmetic and
mechanical restoration this one remains in excellent condition that's well above what most folks consider a
"driver". Professional frame off total restoration of the car some years back and it has always been
garage kept!
The seat covers are correct and these seats are some of the most inviting buckets I've seen in a long time-they're
just begging you to slide behind the wheel aren't they? The gauges are in beautiful condition, however the
odometer is not working and the tachometer is after market.
This vehicle is only driven about 200 miles per year, therefore the mileage is very low since the engine was
rebuilt however I don't know exactly what the mileage is. The markings are so crisp that I'm left wondering if
they even looked that good when they were new. Fresh carpets and center console add's to the factory fresh feeling
and the door panels are wonderfully done.
The radio is a rare AM/FM unit with that unique vertical orientation and there's a black 3 spoke steering wheels as
well, and the power antenna works! A bright white vinyl convertible top was installed at the same time and looks
quite good.
The block is a 1967-vintage 327 4 bolt main rebuilt. The manifolds have obviously been coated to protect the cast
iron and keep them looking good for years and they feed a reproduction exhaust system that sound's great.
The Muncie M 20 4-speed has been fully rebuilt and out back a set of 3.36 gears and positraction make it street
friendly no matter what you are doing. Four-wheel discs were new in '65 and very welcome given the car's
performance.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
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.
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.
