You are bidding on a matching number’s 1971 Corvette Stingray with 350 small block 270hp and 85k original miles.
This car was bought from the son of the original owner who decided to park this car once his mother past away around 10 years ago, the car was stored in a garage and was turned on often.
I bought the car with the intention to restore it and keep it, but life has new plans for me and I have now decided to let it go.
I am listing below all the work I have done since I started the restoration. I have tons of receipts and pictures from all parts on restoration process that I can share with you upon request.
This is not a show room condition car by any means but with some work it will not be far from getting there. That’s why I have set a very fair reserve price considering the time and money I have invested.
Body:
The car has been repainted by a professional to its original color Mille Miglia Red using PPG paint and very nice finish. Under seal was used underneath the fenders for extra protection. Never been wrecked or damaged.
All door seals have been replaced: Door Seals, Pillar Seals, T-Top Seal, Rear Window Seals, hood to cowl seal, Rear Window Weather Strip and Outer Window Door Seal.
The undercarriage is rust free.
Front and rear original bumpers have been professionally re chromed and now they look absolutely stunning with no imperfections at all.
All emblems have been replaced using brand new original parts and not cheap reproductions: Front Nose Emblems (OEM), Fender emblems ‘’Stingray’’ (OEM), Gas Cap Emblem (OEM) and Rear Panel Emblems ‘’Corvette’’ (OEM).
New Outside Door handles with gaskets, GM reproduction part (Not OEM)
New Door & Ignition Lock Set (Not OEM)
New outside mirror with gasket (OEM)
New Exhaust Tips and Bezels (Not OEM)
New rear license bezel (Not OEM)
New door strikers (OEM)
Interior:
The car still retains its original seat covers, they are well preserved considering its age, it could use new covers though. Seat foams were replaced, carpet is in very good condition.
Dash looks really nice, all the gauges work as they should (Speedometer, Tachometer, Battery, Oil Pressure, and even the radio), clock stop working.
Wiper spoiler has been fixed and now it works perfectly.
New tachometer cable
New Rear view mirror (GM reproduction parts)
New door sills (Not OEM)

This car has brand new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, rear 235/70/R15 and front 225/70/R15 with less than 100 miles in them. Near perfect condition original center caps and brand new reproduction wheel trim rings. The rally wheels are original and were sand blasted and painted silver.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
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 to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
