1970 Chevrolet Corvette 2 door coupe 350/300 Auto. Factory A/C

Mulsanne Blue with Bright Blue Interior

I've owned this car for 20 years and it has been garaged during that period.  I have the tank sticker and it's in good shape.  The car is an older restoration completed in the mid 1990's.

Paint: The car was painted in 1988.  Paint is in good shape but not perfect.  Car is very presentable.

Body:  New Rear Chrome bumpers, Front Bumper and Grills are OK, but not perfect, not broken - needs restoration.  New tail lights, some new weather-stripping.  Front Glass was replaced, door glass is original with Astro ventilation embossed into the glass

Brakes:  Rebuilt all calipers, brake hoses, rotors and brake master cylinder.  No vacuum assist.

Tires:  These were a special run of Goodyear tires for honoring racing in 1995.  They have a yellow lettering on the outside and words Eagle #1.  These tires are getting old, but no cracks and probably have 3000 miles on these since installed.

Engine: Great condition. Rebuilt to factory spec's in 2011.  HEI distributor for reliability was installed.  Factory A/C, but does not function.  I believe it works, but needs to be rebuilt.  Everything installed for A/C, just no cold air.  No smoke, plenty of power, great compression.

Numbers:  The car is a numbers matching car.  Over the years of working on this car I have done research and I have found conflicting info on the engine block.  The heads, exhaust manifolds, distributor all have a 1970 date code that is close to the build date.  The engine block does not, instead I believe it could be a factory replacement 350, but I am not sure

Transmission: Great condition.  Rebuilt with a small shift kit in 2011, new stall converter.

Power Steering:  Rebuilt Pump and Cylinder

Suspension:  Great condition. New Springs front and rear, rebuilt front suspension.  No rust on frame or anywhere.

Interior:  Very good condition.  Seats have been recovered to factory original, carpets (now stained) , door panels, rear panels, dash panels have all been replaced.  Dash cover, painted to match.  All dash gauges work except the clock.  Title reads mileage exempt, but I believe it has 179,xxx miles on the car.  No power locks or power windows.  New heater core - old one cracked and drained on new carpet -

New vacuum lines to front of the car, new light actuators, wiper door actuator and springs

Original Radio, works, new front speakers in dash.

Car easily cranks up and runs great!! 

More pictures are available if needed. 

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  I do have a transport company I have used and they are very reasonable.

Please call Malcolm at 850-528-8865 -- 9AM to 9PM EST.  Serious inquires only please.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
