listing this for a friend who doesn't do computers. he traded a piece of property for the car to get it for his wife, but since these cars in their original state are not known for their steering/braking/handling abilities she never really drove it. guess when they first got it she backed it into her other car as the brakes needed work. made a dent around the bottom area of the drivers side tail light. the only dent in an otherwise beautiful 55. original miles and I believe he said he is the 3rd owner. 235 six cylinder 3 on the tree manual transmission with pull out overdrive. motor runs like the day it was new. I have built and owned a lot of these cars and this one is in just unbelievable condition. came from the high desert in the bend, oregon area and still has the dealer ID on the trunk deck. tires look like new and he was told it is only the 2nd set of tires it has ever had. looks as though the vinyl part of the upholstery was redone but the cloth inserts look original. the front carpet is original with a small wear spot near the sill plate on the passenger side. rear carpet looks new. tiny bit of sun cracking on the driver side interior door panel where you pull the door closed. these are the only minor flaws on an almost new looking 55. he told me EVERYTHING works with the exception of the fuel gauge. all interior lights came on when I had the doors open. glove box light comes on when you open the glove box. if you like AM he says the radio plays good. with very little effort this car could easily be a 10. I looked this car over from top to bottom, took all the pictures, and the few things at the beginning of this description are the only things I could find. all the glass and exterior trim looks perfect as does all the stainless interior trim. cowl tag info: style no 55-1031037D body no 0 1904 trim no 519 10 paint no 614S top acc ez. the owner of the vehicle states he will trade it for a 160? series excavator. he does a lot of that kind of work and is only parting with the car to make a down payment on a new excavator. please don't wast my time with any 10 thousand dollar offers. we listed it on a fixed format so everyone knows this guy is not some joker having his buddies run up the bids like happens with a bunch of these auction style sales. whoever gets this car will definitely NOT be disappointed or have buyers remorse in any way. Its summer in the beautiful NW. fly out and drive it home! I took well over a hundred pictures and many close-ups with my digital SLR. apparently ebay now believes that all those extra pictures will not help you make a better buying decision, so if you are serious about this vehicle please feel free to email me for the link. thanks for looking!

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
