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

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
