70 LT-1 Corvette. This is a driver. All numbers matching. New front coil springs, rebuilt front calipers, new front pads, new shocks, New starter, New tires (less than 500 miles), New mufflers.
The following is the history of the car as I know it, along with the condition to the best of my knowledge. I am giving the good and the bad. It is 43 years old after all. I am trying to be as up front as possible.
This car came from Virginia to California about 17 years ago. The car sat for 11 years after the move to Ca. Over the last 3 years the car has been driven on weekends during good weather. The car runs well (motor, tranny, rear end, brakes, etc.). The compression is good, up to factory specs when checked 2 years ago. The outer ring on the harmonic balancer has spun, so the timing mark is off. I don't know if the motor was ever out, if it was it was along time ago. It still has the solid lifters and the cam sounds correct, nice lope at idle. With 11.00:1 compression you must run 100+ octane otherwise it detonates under load. 112 Sunoco worked well. The car still has TI. The car has PB and the front calipers were rebuilt to factory specs. The frame has surface rust but is solid, no issues near the arches. The rear trailing arm pockets are also solid with no cancer observed, surface rust only. The car was painted at some in the past not sure when but 20+ years ago. It still looks ok 10' out but does have chips here and there and the spider webs on the front fenders as is common. When the drivers side coil spring collapsed, it tore a strip of fiberglass at the top of the wheel arch when the tire hit it. Its not bad just want to disclose it. The chrome is 43 years old and although not great it is not pitted. The radio is AM/FM and works. The electric windows work, the drivers side window has to be helped up and down due to an issue with the regulator. The car has fiber optics and per normal some work. The temp gauge is not working. The car has headers, no air pump (obviously). Lights work as well as blinkers etc. Wiper door works, wipers do not. The speedo shows 105,000 miles but the speedo only works intermittently. No paperwork, i.e protecto plate, build sheet. There is a tank sticker visible to the left side of the filler neck. It is there but I'm not going to try and get it out. The interior is good for 43 years there are no tears. The drivers side seat of course shows the most wear. For some reason there are no backs on the seats. The car comes with some additional resto parts, mostly trim screws and 4 of OEM "coolie hat" wheel covers. I have the OEM air cleaner top also. The oil dip stick tube is broken and I do have a replacement.
For those that are interested, Engine: 70S411937/V0603CTK, Block date: E290, casting#3970010, Intake Manifold: 3912116
Tranny code: POE21B (VIN matches), Paint: 972, Trim: 403(BLK Leather), Heads: 3927186 E250.
I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells locally.
Obviously there are no warranties implied or given on this car. It is sold as is where is.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As 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.
