Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.
Vehicle came out of Chicago. Vehicle was kept in storage for a long time, slowly receiving some restoration work here and there throughout the years when time allowed. Older redo on the body done in the late 1980s that has held up very well for a driver. Recently it has had a BRAND NEW convertible top installed as well as COMPLETELY NEW interior (seat covers, door panels, carpeting, side panels). Also has had NEW tires installed, NEW trunk mat, NEW gas tank, some NEW chrome trim and lots of other small things done.
Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. Body does NOT appear to ever have been in any major collision.
OPTIONS:
Manual steering
Manual drum brakes
Power convertible top
Dual exhaust
Fender skirts
327ci V8 motor
Automatic transmission
Stock bench seat interior
Under the hood lies a period correct 327ci 4bbl. V8 motor, driven by the stock automatic transmission on the column. Motor is mostly stock expect for an aluminum intake, Holley 4bbl. carburetor and HEI ignition for reliability. Overall it's a nice and healthy motor that fires right up, has good oil pressure and sounds great. Had it completely checked out by my mechanic and is ready to drive (I've been using it twice a month for short trips around town). Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty side exiting exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts great without any noises or grinding.
Interior is basically all stock and NEARLY BRAND NEW. Door panels are NEW. Dash is presentable with normal wear. Seats have BRAND NEW OEM covers on them. Carpet is NEW as well. Overall nicely presentable for a driver.
Underside has a ROCK SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust. Appears that the floorboards have been replaced at one time with factory panels and then heavily undercoated (job was done "ok" but could have been cleaned up nicer).
Chrome is overall presentable for a driver, with some normal pitting and small imperfections in the bumpers and side trim. Some trim is NEW like fender top ornaments, door handle guards, and various other small pieces.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in FAIR/GOOD shape throughout, with GOOD shine and although it looks good from 10-15 feet, it has a lot of small imperfections, chips/scratches/touch-ups from decades of use. Some filler here and there on lower sections of the car as you would expect, but looks fairly straight down the sides. Floorboards were installed new but amateurly. Inner rockers have patches filled in. Not working: turn signals (new indicator lever needs installed), horn, a couple of smaller gauges disconnected, perhaps a bulb or two need replacing here and there, convertible top disconnected (works up and down manually), heater (bypassed), radio, wipers (missing arms). Missing: jack, rear seat center emblem, a couple of rear window cranks, and i'm sure a few other small things I can't remember now. Carburetor could use a rebuild (my mechanic and I have adjusted it nicely and it works fine but is older and the car could greatly benefit from a newer one). Tranny kickdown cable disconnected (I will have it reinstalled before auction ends). Crack in windshield on passenger side near the edge. Some trim is pitted here and there (outer door handles, quarter ornaments, etc.) I am sure there are many other things the car needs.
So overall she is not perfect but she's a DAMN NICE and FUN CRUISER!. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a FAIRLY GOOD LOOKING DRIVER to play around with, do some tlc on your own time, and take to the next level, then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
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.
