You really want to look at this Corvette. This Corvette is absolutely AMAZING. First things first. I am selling this car for a friend. Anything that may come up, I may have to check with him, but that will be done quickly. This car is a complete nut and bolt restored Corvette. The photos with this listing will tell you more than I ever could. I am not sure exactly just how rare this car is, but it has to be way up on the rarity scale. This 1965 Corvette has but one option. That is the 16 dollar Comfort and Convenience group. That option is for a day/night mirror and backup lights. Truly, this is the way the car came. A complete base option Corvette. In all the years I've been building, admiring and driving a Vette, I truly can remember only one other Corvette I ever saw with a 3 speed manual transmission. This car came that way. My math tells me this is one of 406 1965 Corvettes that came with the three speed. The last photos are the paperwork that shows the delivering dealer and the 2011 NCRS meet in Kissimmee Florida where it was judged Top Flight with a score of 97.4. I think the car had a demerit for the wrong number on the horn relay, which has since been corrected. The judging score sheet, which is available, also scored the car 100% for operation. The dash is the original "radio delete" one that came in the car. Everything about this car is restored original. Everything on the car was disassembled and restored to original. There is a reserve on the car but it is quite reasonable considering the level of restoration and the rarity of this car. If you are the winning bidder, the car can remain in heated garage it is now in, for as long as you need it to. But the day final payment is received, insurance will also be dropped so you need to arrange that immediately. The winning bidder will be responsible for pickup or arranging to have it delivered. I for one would not want to pick this car up with an open trailer, but then again, I'm not buying it. The owner will need a thousand dollar deposit within 3 days of auction close and full payment within 10 days. I have not cleared this, but know my friend will be OK with this; if you are the winning bidder and arrive and the car is not as advertised, you do not have to take it. Pay the eBay fees and go home. But believe me when I say this car is all of that and more. Bid on a high class restored Corvette to own it, and know you have purchased a Corvette you will be proud of from the day you get it. If there are questions, please make sure you ask. If I can't answer them I will put you in touch with the owner, but that needs to be restricted because of health. I have more photos that I may be able to attach to an e-mail if you need them. Just ask the questions and send me an e-mail address. You cannot go wrong with bidding on this car. It is amazing!

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
