Up for sale is my 1968 Corvette Coupe with T-tops.  Car is beautiful, sounds like its about to take flight on the drag strip, and runs like a scalded dog.  Has the 327/350 option with a 4-speed.  I bought this from a friend who needed money to build his house. I realized after I bought it that I have 9 other vehicles, and it has rained every day except 4 since I moved to Florida over Memorial Day weekend. So, I realized I haven't ridden either of my Harley's since I moved, not once!  This car, and my 65 Mustang, have mostly been moved from my garage to my shop so I could drywall the garage then back into the garage.  I bought this car in Dec 2012, and when I looked on the title and the odometer today, I realized it had 81,674 miles on it when I bought it, and today it reads 81,686 which means I've driven it a total of 12 miles since I bought it, and that was to go to the DMV, and once this weekend when it was test-driven locally by a guy who wanted to trade me a Cabin Cruiser for it. I have a wave runner and a boat that I just bought last week, so had I known that before he test-drove it, I wouldn't have wasted that trip!


As for the condition, the pics pretty much speak for themselves. I have the factory luggage rack and factory steering wheel the guy gave me. I have the factory shop manuals somewhere too. Car starts, runs, rides beautifully, sounds like a serious hot rod with the custom exhaust, and has what looks to be relatively new wheels/tires. The only issues I found with the car were the seat belts were for crap, so I have new, generic ones in the packages to go with the car. I also noticed, on the only day I parked it outside, that the T-Top weatherstrips leak, so I just purchased a complete new weatherstrip kit for almost $500 from Mid-America Corvettes, and the kit is still in the box, and will be included. I don't know of other issues with the car, understanding that I've only driven it 12 miles.  I encourage local inspection, and feel free to bring your mechanic with you!  Car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty, but again, I encourage local inspection, and I'll be happy to take you for a ride. 

I looked up the NADA on the car. Today, it lists the low retail at $21K, the average retail in the $40's, and the high retail in the $50's.  I live near Pensacola, Florida, and here the insurance company and the DMV have to inspect the car, and the insurance company has pictures taken and filed so I could recoup my losses if anything happened, and so I could put Antique plates on it. After doing so, the Insurance Company did comps in the local Region, and it's currently insured for $33,500.  I've started the bid where I feel like someone can get a good deal on a really nice Vette.  I could probably hold out for big bucks, but the car is not doing anything for me except sitting in the garage collecting dust, while I pay increased insurance rates because of the insured value. So, if you want it, bid to own it. I have set my starting bid, and if it ends up a penny over, so be it. The car needs an owner. 

Now for the necessary stuff:  NO outside the lower 48 bids, sales or shipping. Car has been described to the best of my ability and knowledge. Inspection encouraged and invited. I will entertain offers of trades, but I don't want ANY projects, no matter how little you think needs to be done. If you want to trade anything, you have to have a clear title, and be able to bring your prospective trade to my house, no exceptions. Cash is the only form of payment I'll accept, I don't care what your wife says. NO money orders, NO checks, NO google payments, and NO paypal beyond the deposit. And last but not least, check my feedback from over 10 years on ebay. I'm honest, and will deal with you straight up. I have heard and had guys try ALL the scams and silliness on me, so please don't waste your time. I'm not letting you send me a wire transfer, and have your brother/shipper/cousin or anybody else transact any business for you.  Cash, in person, is the only way this works, period. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end, and balance upon pickup within 7 days. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction until the first bid is entered. Once that happens, it will run til sold. If your feedback is less than 5, or you have negatives for non-payment, I reserve the right to cancel your bid.  Thanks for looking, and don't be afraid to send me reasonable offers.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
