(Link isn't working. Please go to www.sellthevette.webstarts.com ) Here's a little information on the car (taken from our website). The Body was taken off of the frame & completely dissembled. Frame and most of all the metal (including bolts) were sandblasted and powder-coated. New motor mounts and bolts. The gas tank was removed and cleaned out. A new sending unit was installed for the fuel gauge. All the gas lines have been replaced. All new brake system (lines, calipers, rotors, pads, master cylinder.) All the wheels were removed and bearings & seals installed. New set of 4 tires. New shocks installed all the way around. The exhaust system was replaced entirely to the factory exhaust. The 327 engine was dissembled was professions who have had experience with "muscle" car engines. (Tommy, a man who helped, has a mechanics degree. He along with others he helped with this car, rebuilt a 400 engine for a 1967 Pontiac Firebird.) The engine block was bored 30 thousandths over. New crankshaft & camshaft was put back to factory specs. New oil pump, rod bearings & main bearings. The heads were reworked and all new pistons & rings. All new gaskets and seals. New water & fuel pumps. New alternator and starter. All new wires & coil, distributor cap. New carburetor. New clutch & tachometer cable. New heater core & hoses. New vacuum lines.Transmission was opened up and checked (everything was great!) and new seals were installed. All new "U" joints from front to back (including 2 shafts). 2 back wheels, and all new hardware and body put back on. The interior as original as possible. As you can see in some of the pictures, the original dash is still in. It has a crack near the drive side glass. The inside of the car was repainted. A professional from Tennessee did most of the interior work. A local shop installed a new radio and aftermarket speakers which are located in the trunk area behind the seats. The radio (as pictured) looks like the original, but has a AUX input as well as many other functions. Springs were replaced in the seats along with the cushions and seat covers. A new set of door panels and new doors for the back door compartments (battery doors). New battery was installed. All new fuses and light bulbs. All new glasses and gauges. New light switch & headlights. The headlights were dissembled and sanded down and painted. Door handles were replaced. New radio, speakers, & antenna. All new door seals. New latches for the top. The car was painted locally. New windshield wiper motor, but still needs wiper arms & reservoir.. Being a convertible, it's not driven in the rain. There hasn't been any need to install them. As you can see from the pictures on the website, there's some issues with the car. The car was driven by a family member, and they put their elbow through the middle console (bad day...). There was ALOT of time & money spent restoring this car to completely restore it back to factory conditions as possible. This is a head turning car! You are more than welcome to contact me with any other questions you may think of that was not answered above. Thank you! |

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If 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.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
