69 Corvette Coupe 427-435 L71 Tripower. Nice original car does not appear to have ever been hit hard anywhere. All codes believed to be correct as to color options etc.  Car was 427-390 hsp from factory now 427-435 L71 tri-power 1968 model.  This car is in the registry and was sold at Mecum Auction in Kissimee Fl appox 7 years ago for $35,500. Looks to be a 10-12 year old restoration of good to very good quality.  Car is very fast and very tight drives like a fully restored automobile. No clutch chatter no evidence of abuse by a heavy footed owner. Straight nice body as pictures show,very nice original interior,we believe.  Engine compartment sorted out well and not overly detailed with cheap inappropriate aftermarket parts. All shielding in place and great looking covers cleaners wires etc. Motor tight runs strong lifters etc sound as new. Fires and comes to idle very nicely smooth acceleration braking clutch etc everything works wipers have a mind of their own. Head lights dead on up--down both.  Goosebumps guaranteed with every start up it is truly tight and sounds terrific. I have handled 1500-2000 corvettes and know the difference. So when I say it sounds like 1969 and feels like 1969 I know what I am talking about. I was 16yrs old when I drove my 1st 69 big block coupe.  NOTES; paint is weak in several places see all pictures. Pipes not original. Undercarraige is very nice frame also. Tailpipe holes are in excellent condition. No silly inappropriate stuff about this car just super nice lines and raw horsepower pretty dark green original color with black vinyl interior , am/fm radio. No heated seats no navigation no walnut dashboard no communications center. How sweet it is!!   Though many areas of this car have been lovingly restored its interior is dead original survivor condition. seat covers carpet dash console door panels post panels etc all appear to be original and in very nice condition. small areas of carpet are faded and frayed a bit but patina is as good as it gets.  The areas of weak paint can be redone and blended with the still strong areas to make this car a great driver with a nice appearance. It does not need a full paint job just refer to pictures very straight panels no evidence of accidents bad body work etc solid panels all the way around the car and engine compartment. Only area which appears to have had work is driver door premature cracking is the only real evidence we can find. See pictures.  Your questions invited however we prefer not to end the auction early. The reserve is conservative just under $30,000 and out of respect for all bidders we would like to see the auction through. Good luck and be sure to ck out our reviews since 1948 business done the right way over 35,000 automobiles bought and sold full transparency no secrets. Thanks for your time and attention.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
