Super clean original low miles car. Sold new to Gilette Company as executive car. Then transferred to a summer home where it was garaged and rarely driven. Beautiful original interior showing little wear, no rips or splitting seams. New Clarks Carpet set installed. Original paint that shows patina, yet no signs of respray or any damage repair to any body panels. Original top and original back window date coded 1963. Power top works but needs pump gaskets. Top looks and fits great, no damage to original top other than 1 tiny tear that is taped. Perfect original top boot. Chrome is excellent and original, no damage. The chrome on the window top looks new, no pitting or scrapes.
Trunk compartment orginal paint and undamaged - no rust anywhere in the front trunk. The original window washer bottle is still full and the jack and jacking instructions are there.
Underside of the car is clean and original, no signs of rust anywhere on the body or panels and no signs of any damage or repair anywhere. There is normal surface rust on the front crossmember but NONE on the underside of the car. Very clean and unrestored.
Engine runs fine and is completely original and stock. There is great acceleration and starts easily. 1 tiny o-ring leak, it has not been resealed and is original.
This is a very clean and perfectly straight body, a perfect candidate as original stock. The paint, while old and showing patina is really attractive. All glass is good and the rubber seals around doors and windows are original and look new. There is a tiny 1'' rust spot next to the trunk lid. It is small and I prefered to leave it rather than restore it out.
If you are looking for a low mile orginal convertible - this is it.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
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.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
