I am offering for sale a 1961 convertible Chevrolet Corvette.  The color of the car is Jewel Blue and only 855 of the 10800 produced this year were this color.  The exterior of the car has the original paint job and is in fair condition. There are some scratches and defects in the paint but the paint is in surprisingly good shape to be vintage. The car has both the original hard top and the soft top.   The interior is black and blue but is not the original interior.

The car is a convertible and is equipped with both tops.  It is also equipped with the original AM radio and the dash has not been molested and is in good shape.  All of the gauges are real glass and work except for the gas, clock, and radio. The engine and brakes were  rebuilt in June 2013, and I have the receipts for the work. The car is running and is drivable.

The car was purchased in 1983 from the original owner and was stored in a metal building from 1983 until 2013.  The odometer is showing 23,999 miles and I was told is the correct mileage.  Since being purchased, I have rebuilt the engine, all of the brake system, and the fuel system.  All of the fluids have been changed and all of the lights are in working order. The car is running and can be driven. 

The car is located in Guntown, Mississippi and can be shown by appointment. My number is 662 871-9299 if you have any specific questions concerning the item.  The car is being sold "as is, where is," and no written, verbal, or implied warranty exist.  The car is being offered locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. 

 

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION and feedback will be left on the buyer. 

 

Payment terms, $500.00 US dollars are to be sent via paypal within 48 hours of the closing of the Auction.  The balance of the Bid is due in CASH when the item is picked up.   I have purchased and sold many cars on line and I am experienced in the closing process. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for a Corvette enthusiast to own a rare piece of automobile history and a beautiful piece of artwork.  Good luck bidders.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
