I have a bunch of paperwork and receipts for all the work done on this car.
It was purchased in Sylacauga AL from the original owner around 1991 by a guy named John Holleman from Montgomery
AL.
John told me the car had only 30,000 miles on it and was a rust free car. He sold it to Wayne Smith of Vintage
Autos in Montgomery. Wayne did the engine swap from a 6 cylinder along with paint and interior in 1992-1993. The
car has been driven approximately 1150 miles since then. It has a 1957 283 with the correct 997 270hp heads, solid
lifter cam, dual quad intake and carter carbs along with an original bat wing oil bath air cleaner. The underside
is painted red oxide. Harbor Blue is the original color. The Harbor Blue paint is still holding up well for an
almost 25 year old single stage lacquer job. We did have to repaint the Larkspur blue with basecoat and clear as
it was dried out at cracking. There are some minor paint chips and a place on the passenger side rocker arm where
the paint flaked off and you can see the red primer. The car still has the original 3 on the tree manual
transmission and stock open rear end. It should have a rubber mat rather than carpet.
This is an unmolested car with all original body panels, floors and trunk. There is no sign of any body work or
repair done to any of the sheet metal.
Since I took these images, the car has been driven about 200 miles. I have also added new control arm bushings and
front shocks.
The car does need a few things like window felts. It still has the originals. It really needs a good detailing to
the engine and undercarriage. There is some chrome peeling from under the front bumper on the lower passenger
side.
There is a local airport in Springfield IL if you want to fly in to inspect. I would be happy to provide a ride
from the airport or you could uber or taxi in.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
