I'm selling my 1961 corvette project, would make a good beater driver with some work or fix up, restore.. Not numbers matching, motor is locked up and shot, rusted frozen hunk of metal. Trans may also be shot, no idea. Sat for years. Front passenger side frame rail has damage but is fine for a driver. Was driven 20 years ago like that. ( I found they sell the rail new and can be replaced if you want to do a frame off) Nose has lots of old fiberglass damage, Inner fenders cut out in spots as last owner was thinking of adding side headers and side pipes. It has a big block style very old after market hood. Rear quarters where cut years ago for big tires. I have repair quarter panels that go about 8 inches around rear wheel wells and the bonding strips, front head light repair strips for top front of fenders. Included is a complete extra front bolt in frame unit with control arms etc, It came from a running driving car with brakes , lines etc. Both soft top frame assembly ( think I am missing one small soft to bracket where the top bolts to body....other side has it. and hard top included, both need to be restored. Missing a door panel. I have the complete seats, seat cushions frames have much rust on the bars, covers are vintage hot rod look, in black, could use but will need a good cleaning, Inside car, rust on a pillars, pass door shuts fine, drivers not to bad, have most dash parts may be missing some things, no dash pad ( hole cut by side of shifter edge on tunnel, have tach speedo and gauges, have old but rusty gas tank( would buy new) have gas tank deck cover, drive shaft, trans is still in car, 4 speed, do not have the shifter , have all bumpers front and back.
. There are a couple ways to go with this car, Buy a complete modern chassis to make a resto rod....great investment if you watch barret jackson and watched the prices, or put is a running motor etc and do a bit of glass work and make a fun driver. Car is an original Jewel Blue car. Clear title in my name and have the original vin plate from steering column ( an other great GM idea) They fall off and this did to and I have it in a envelope with title. Great project. $23,000.reserve Sorry price is firm. In a few more weeks I will start getting the car road worthy and keep it for the summer.
If you hate this car, same your emails, As I hate it to, yes they are worthless to you I know this already, I do not care , yes this is a ugly, shot, beat up, worthless junk that is still what is left of a 1961 corvette and some people can fix up cars in their own garage and say they did work themselves. Sorry I guess I am so old now that I remember people that could fix up cars like this. Then again some have more money and can pay the rate and will have more in the car than worth. I am even telling you don't buy fix up junks like this if you can't work on a car. Buy new and make payments.. This vette will need lots of work. And I have a title in my name. This is a great start, to own a nice driver ( beater corvette) car for a cheap price.
Now, dealers, If you have corvettes like this for sale for 10,000 to 15, 0000. Please all you corvette dealers call me and I would buy them from you. Yes I have cash in hand. Funny how that is. All the dealers are calling telling me how many cars they have? My car is junk... Yes I already told you that. Why are you still looking for more junks? Because just like you say you buy so many restored cars like this for $25.000. If you do, you are very lucky and keep buying them it helps the economy. Please save your low ball offers. I do not need the money, I could use the space. TV show restored cars that is the way to go, no one wants to fix up and drive a car they can work on. Si if you want a nice project bid or email a phone number. I'm sorry emails with out phone numbers will not be returned. I am also not showing the car as it is in storage.
Last the wheels that are on the car are owned by a friend and are not included in the sale of the car. If you want to buy them I could ask him.
Pickup with in 10 days or car will be resold. Payment will be cash in hand. And only cash in hand. Title will be filled out with new buyers name. No deposit needed as it is just more worthless paper work. You other want to come pay for the car or your do not.
Remember you do not want this car it needs to much work and really is pretty much worthless as I have been told by expert corvette people, that still want to buy my car but for less so they can resell it and once they own it it will be transformed into gee a 1961 corvette... worth more. But I still want $23000. LOL

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
