1958 Chevrolet corvette-I am the second owner- this was a one owner car that was bought new in September of 1958 in Chicago by a man who lived in kalamazoo Michigan- he wanted a 58 as the 59's were out and he wanted a white with red interior car with the chrome spears on the decklid- Chicago was the only place he could find one. he drove it around Michigan until 1966 when it was parked outside for a year and they moved to the Cincinnati area. . the next year (1967) they brought it back to cincy and parked it in the barn where it sat for the next 46 years. while it sat outside in Michigan a tree limb punctured the convertible top and the interior suffered some minor damage and wear. when it was brought home to the new place the right rear bumperette was jammed in to the fiberglass below the trunk when it was run into a beam in the barn (easy fix) this is the only damage to the body. in 1977 the son rebuilt the motor in it but never took it out to drive.. the block was replaced by Chevrolet the second winter cause of lack of anti-freeze letting it freeze up and crack. it has a 1961 replacement block in it- the 2x4's setup(245 horse) was stolen off of it sometime in the year s between 1999 and 2003. so was the distributor and valve covers.it now has an old edelbrock intake and 600 holley and a chev distributor w/pertronix guts and stagger bolt vette valve covers- the car still retains its original 3 speed and it has a posi rear end (ratio unknown) it has the factory radiator but I did have a new core put in it last year.i always wanted a straight axle early vette and I felt this was the one to do it to. the car could be restored but then its just another boring stocker for the vette people to pick apart- the body and gaps and fit of the car is really nice- the straight axle is a jokerr fabricating item and uses the stock 58 spindles and brakes which are all new and rebuilt with all new lines and dual master cylinder. it has a vega steering box and actually drives nice and rides decent (drives better than stock front end) I didn't do anything underneath from the cowl back so it is still crusty and has cob webs and stuff but that is the way I intended. you can park this car next to a ncrs concourse vette and its gonna piss off the owner of it when they are leanin on his car to look at this one. its dirty and paint fallin off but that's why I did it as you cant buy or produce patina like this- this is by the way the original paint on the car- the interior is original except the seat cushions were shot so these are redone on foam- the springs were shot- I have material to do the backrests if needed.-fuel-amp-oil pressure gauges work- tach doesn't(needs new cable) and speedo is noisy but works (needs greased??)heater is in it- disconnected ?? car is a factory radio delete so it has the original delete plate and no ignition shielding- it has a 58 hardtop but it has a 59 rear glass in it and the soft top framework is in under the deck- it has no canvas as I removed it- it does fold ok the trunk has no latch and the hood support is missing and the cables for the hood releases are froze up . it has no emergency brake- the turn signals don't work- the horn works the relay but the horn doesn't blow- hi beams have old t-3 bulbs but they don't work- running and brake lights are ok this car runs and drives fine - I think it needs a wild ass motor in it but I kind of like it as is. the fenderwell headers exit through turbo mufflers that exit at the rear end housing .the wheels are rare American racing t-70's 15x8 rears and the fronts are 15x7 narrowed to 15x5's w/ bf Goodrich radial tires(not period correct but it sure drives good) (I will take $ 1500 .00 less for the car minus wheels and tires) I have copys of the original title and the family transfer title , and the one to me all dating back to new. also available are all the parts taken off and this car could easily be restored back to original by removing 4 welded (to frame) brackets on the front end. ive tried to be as honest about the workings and non workings of the car as I don't like surprises and don't like giving them.. its not perfect but its damn sure cool as it can be. its a real attention grabber and you don't have to worry about a duplicate parking next to you at a cruise in or car show and it is still a 58 corvette. any questions or concerns feel free to call or come and inspect...513-932-1933 or if no answer(no machine) call 513-235-7768 or email at ohiohotrods@embarqmail.com car is sold as is and I reserve right to end auction early as it is for sale locally-- possible PREPAID delivery within 400 miles of Lebanon, ohio CALL FIRST AND ASK -- NO TEXTS |

President Obama will be on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
Tue, Dec 22 2015The seventh season of Jerry Seinfeld's excellent Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee will debut on Wednesday, December 30, and if this first trailer is any indication, the guest lineup is damn impressive. But rather than building up to one big guest over the course of the season, the show is starting with one of the biggest guests possible – the president of the United States. President Barack Obama will join Seinfeld behind the wheel of what looks like a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for a trip around the South Lawn of the White House. According to CBS, the pair will enjoy their coffee in the staff dining room, which is probably a better idea than crippling Washington, D.C., with a Stingray-led motorcade. Aside from the president, Seinfeld has recruited a couple comedy icons, including first-timers Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. Also appearing are Garry Shandling, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Kathleen Madigan. The four-wheeled stars will include the Corvette, a Plymouth Superbird, a Chevy Camaro, a classic Porsche 911, a BMW 2002, and what we think is a (rather troublesome) 1952 Siata 208 8V Coupe Balbo. You can check out the entire trailer up at the top of the page.

2016 Chevrolet Equinox gets styling tweaks, not much else
Thu, Feb 12 2015The current Chevy Equinox debuted over five years ago, in late 2009. Since then, the midsize crossover segment has become increasingly important, with brand-new entries meeting substantially overhauled versions of existing nameplates. But the Equinox carried on, largely unchanged. And while Chevy is using its Chicago Auto Show stage to debut the freshened, 2016 Equinox, it appears there isn't a whole lot to talk about. Take a look at the updated Equinox's exterior and you're pretty much going to see all that's new for 2016. Sure, the Chevy still boasts a handsome, inoffensive design, and it's now upgraded with things like LED running lamps on top-level trims, as well as new 17- and 18-inch wheel designs, projector beam headlamps, and revised taillamp styling. Moving inside, Chevy has added a standard seven-inch color touchscreen to all models, which includes a backup camera. New-to-Equinox safety features like side cross traffic alert and side blind zone alert are also available for 2016. And really, that's about it. Powertrain options carry over from last year. On the base end, there's a 2.4-liter inline-four that's good for up to 32 miles per gallon on the highway (with front-wheel drive). Buyers can also opt for a 301-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 that allows the Equinox to tow up to 3,500 pounds. Will this be enough to keep the Equinox fresh in its highly competitive class? In 2014, the Equinox did outsell lower-volume competitors like the Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester, but was bested by fresher offerings like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4. Have a look at all there is to know about the 2016 Equinox in the press blast below. We'll have live images and more impressions direct from the Chicago show floor, soon. Fresh Face: Chevrolet Introduces Restyled 2016 Equinox Premium cues, new safety features enhance Chevy's record-selling compact SUV CHICAGO – Chevrolet today introduced the 2016 Equinox – a contemporized version of the popular compact SUV. Updates include new styling with premium accents, new wheel designs and new available safety features, as well as a larger color touchscreen radio and a standard rear-vision camera for entry-level models.
North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed
Thu, Nov 17 2022The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities. The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit. The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year. Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting. 50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.
