This is my beauty. I have had it for about 5 years and I have done everything I possibly could to it, except for some minor stuff. It runs great. It turns heads. Every time I take it out or to car shows, I get a huge crowd. It even beat out a 1960's Ferrari in a vintage stock class, judged by spectators. I can't begin to list everything I have changed in this car over the last 3 years or so, but I'll try. First of all, a professionally done brand new paint job just about a month old. As close to stock as I could, though it is called Ferrari Red. All new suspension with nothing but the best parts. New carpet, new seat covers and padding, all new gaskets and oil cooler to make the driveway floor bone dry. An electronic ignition kit to avoid wet point stalls. New radial tires, new interior pieces, etc,etc,etc. Meticulously maintained by a service place familiar with classic cars. Winter stored and summer covered. New duel exhaust system. The only thing I haven't changed yet is the convertible top. It has some imperfections and small tears. I was about to do that, but.. Other nuances are the working stock AM/FM radio with sliding tune bar ( not easy to find and expensive when you do). Rear speakers and a hidden CD player in the "trunk" . The interior metal parts of the door may have a few small scratches here and there, but not a big deal. Bottom line is you would be getting a beautiful classic car that has very little left to do to. It will turn heads by its beauty and unusual details. Why am I selling it? Well, I saw a car that I have always wanted and I want to give it a shot at getting it. If I sell this car, I will get that one. That why it will be a short time line to buy. If I sell it, fine. If not, at least I tried. I have been struggling with this decision for a while. If you know Corvairs, you know what a nice version this is.Anyway, good luck. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer. The speedometer show 64031. Frankly , I don't know if that is the mileage or it is 164031, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't matter. The engine is pristine, New top of the line fan belt, as well. I will throw in a couple of boxes of parts that I got when I first bought it. Good stuff, including a carbo in its original box. And finally I'll throw in some memorabilia like old advertisementss, catalogs and users manual that I acquired. The trophies stay with me , though. The RESERVE is very close to the selling price. As I said, I need a quick turnaround or nothing at all.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Engine block heater issues force GM to recall 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks
Tue, May 7 2019General Motors has issued a recall on 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks that could be susceptible to short circuits, and consequently, potential fire. The recall affects several models of heavy duty Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras with optional engine block heaters. GM is recalling seven different truck models spread across three years. The recall affects the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2017-2019 Silverado 3500HD, 2019 Silverado 4500HD, 2019 Silverado 5500HD, and 2019 Silverado 6500HD, plus the 2017-2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD and 2017-2019 Sierra 3500HD. Specifically, it includes these models with the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engines and the optional engine block heater. The recall technically deals not with the engine block heater itself, but the way it is connected. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V328000, the engine block heater cord or the terminals that link the cord to the heater could short circuit. A short circuit could potentially damage engine components and result in a fire. According to The Detroit News, 19 fires have been reported but nobody has been injured. GM has yet to figure out a fix, and thus has not yet released a notification schedule for affected customers. If you believe your vehicle is part of the recall, contact GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733 and use reference number N182206310.
GM shows off 'digital vehicle platform' enabling more in-car tech and OTA updates
Wed, May 22 2019It appears to have dropped the sobriquet "Global B," but General Motors' new electrical architecture has bowed in drawings and video. This is the "digital vehicle platform" GM president Mark Reuss spoke to Reuters about in 2015, saying it would move a great deal of a vehicle's computer work to the cloud and enable over-the-air updates. Reuss took the microphone for the debut, too, saying, "Our new digital vehicle platform and its eventual successors will underpin all our future innovations across a wide range of technological advancements, including EVs and expanded automated driving." The system will go into production later this year, appearing in dealerships first either on the 2020 Cadillac CT5 or the mid-engined 2020 Chevrolet Corvette. Yes, these are the same electronics cited for delaying the launch of the C8 Corvette over excessive draw, security and getting the more-than-100 computer modules to communicate seamlessly. When Car and Driver asked about that, GM replied with "No comment." Volkswagen's having the same issues with the Mk8 Golf right now, though, so GM isn't alone, and this will be the new normal among OEMs for a while. What's certifiable is that the new architecture is robust enough to handle 4.5 terabytes of data per hour, which is five times what GM's current wiring can handle. And thanks to Ethernet connections of 100 Mbps, 1 Gbs and 10 Gbs, communication within and without the vehicle happens much faster. The advances mean better screen resolutions, better battery management for hybrids and electric vehicles, the capability for over-the-air updates and "functionality upgrades throughout the lifespan of the vehicle." Cadillac's Super Cruise has already been lined up as a leading candidate for constant improvements in the driving assistance suite, a key part of GM's "vision for a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion." And whenever GM decides to take the plunge, it will mean a 48-volt electrical system. More than 300 specialists worked on the digital platform, and security was a huge part of the task. We've already heard that GM consulted with Boeing and military contractors on how to prevent hacking. The carmaker has an internal Product Cybersecurity group that reached out to the research community, and created a "bug bounty" program to crowdsource uncovering any flaws.
