I purchsaed this car in 1984 from a local dealer. the car has been in the family ever since. It has been stored for most of the past 15 years. For the past year I have licensed the car and driven it occasionally. It starts easlily and runs great. In 1986 through 1988 I did extensive work on the vehicle. I installed new upper and lower ball joints and tie rods in the frontend..I intalled stainless steel brake calipers and brake lines and stainless steel exhaust. Also a high perpormance rear leaf sping. The body was stripped to the bare friberglass and repainted the original color. The paint is still in excellent condition. Also I installed new carpet. I have receipts for all items.. I cannot confirm that this is the original motor. Based on the engine code it is a 350 cubic inch 300 hp motor which best I can tell the motor is a 70's motor. Might be original motor.The remaining numbers are not present on the engine block. Now the things that the car needs.. The seats are worn and needs recovered.For $700.00 from Zip Corvette you can purchase new seat covers, foam and hardware for both seats. I do not have the original radio. I installed a am/fm cassette radio years ago. The transmission has a small leak but believe that it is nothing more seious than a pan gasket. The power windows work but I am missing the knobs for the door locks. Everything that needs fixed or repaired is minor compared to the shape of this vehicle. Tires are in excellent shape. I have a cloth car cover and a nose bra for the car. I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere. Only has 85,675 miles on car.

I wanted to add some information about the motor and whether it is the original motor. After some research I beleive that this is the original motor. Based on reading I found that in 1970 GM began placing the the vin sequence number in other locations other than the passenger side of the front block. I have yet to find the vin sequence number but I am still searching. The Engine code on the motor is V1217CTG which means that the motor was built in Flint Michigan where vette motors were built and the CTG stands for 1970. The engine casting mumber is 3970010 which means it is a 350 cubic inch 300 hp. Based on this I believe that the motor matches the car. If I find the vin sequence number I will update the listing.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
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.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet 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.
