Up for auction is a 1976 Orange Flame Corvette Coupe. The owner of this great car has owned it since 2009. Prior to that, my best friend owned it. He has had it since 2006. The paint code is 70 (Orange Flame). Interior code is L,64V=Bu. The car is numbers matching. The only thing on this car that was added, was the luggage rack. A few years ago, the paint was freshened up, and holds a great shine.
I have been taking this Corvette to car shows for the past 3 years, while my 74 Corvette is being restored. It won a lot of awards.
The Good about the car. Never has been wrecked or rebuilt. It's a little better then a surviver condition. Tires have over 80% of tread on them. Frame is not rusted any where, and the bird cage is in great conditon. Like I said, I have known this car since 2006, and can verify anything since then. Rear brakes were just put on last weekend, so it was ready for the Columbia, Missouri Corvette Show. New radiator, water pump, a arm bushings and seals. All bearings in trailing arms have been rebuilt 2 years ago. The ride is amazing!!!
The bad (to me). The headers needs to be replaced with stock manifolds. Exhaust pipe needs to be reduced back to 2 and a half inch. (now 3"). To me, the sound is just a bit too much. There is an oil leak from the rear of the engine. Most likely the rear main seal needs replaced. And some one who knows all about vacum lines to carb, to idel better. It runs great, lots of tourque, but at low speeds, seems to be a little rough. This Corvette sits in storage most of the year. It needs to be driven and shown off.
The interior is very straight. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 9.5 or better. New carpet 3 years ago, with new floor matts. The paint condition is a 9.2. There a are couple of places where it needs to be touched up, but wont see them til you look real close. door and hood alignment is perfect. Even the head lights work like they should.
The gentelman that owns this car now is selling 2 of his 3 corvettes. Another 76, but it is red with black interior. He is in his mid 70's and is finding it a bit too much to keep up with these cars.
Transporation is up to buyer, and there is no implied warrenty. I believe he or I will help locate transportaion if needed, but it will be up to the winning bidder. If there are any questions about what I may have missed, just e-mail me, and I will respond as quickly as possible. This Corvette is located in Fulton, Missouri, and if, at any time, can be inspected by you, by making arrangements.
Thank you for taking time and intrest in this fine 76 Corvette Coupe. Happy Bidding.

I have made a mistake. This is an L-82, NOT an L-88. I am very sorry for this misunderstanding on my part.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
