My 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible. As an American icon, the
corvette needs no introduction. Since the 1950's these cars have been pushing the limits in both styling and
performance. 1963 brought a new look, new styling, and several single year only features to the corvette. The car
you see here has stood the test of time and is a remarkable example of what the 63 vette was when they were
introduced. This car is powered by its MATCHING NUMBERS 327 V8 backed by the MATCHING NUMBERS Muncie 4 speed
manual trans. The rear end is a posi traction unit of which I was told is original to the car, but I have not
verified that. The motor and trans are absolutely without question authentic and original to this vette. These
cars are getting very difficult to find in this condition that haven't had a 350 swap, or had the 327 bored stroked
and hot rodded. The underbody is as beautiful as the rest of the car and is truly a time capsule. Along with the
original motor and trans, this car is equipped with the correct intake, carb, master cylinder, original radio AND
speaker, all original gauges, and many many other parts that this car was born with. With just under 80,000
original miles, there isn't much to want that this vehicle doesn't offer. All the carpet is in beautiful
condition, the seats are flawless, the top is brand new (still has original bows and hardware, just new canvas and
window), the motor purrs like a kitten, and the trans shifts as smooth as glass. The paint is the original color,
laguna blue, but is obviously not the original paint job. The body is in great condition and laser straight. All
gaps and panel alignment is beautiful throughout the car. The car currently rides on a nice set of radials (drives
and handles like a dream) but I do have poly tires available for it if you desire. I really can not say enough
about how much I like this car, and the condition it is in. The paint is incredible and it sparkles and shines
every bit as much as you want it to! The body lines and finesse to the early to mid 60s vettes are among the
greatest in the history of automobiles. This is really a turn key car that you can enjoy as much as you like and
be confident taking it to any show nationwide and not be ashamed to park it next to anything else there. I assure
you that you'll be holding your head high and nodding as all the onlookers smile, honk, and give thumbs up.
Weather it be at your local shows, cruise nights, the dairy queen, grocery store, or a national level event this
car will get compliments. All the chrome is in excellent condition and is a great accent to the deep metallic blue
on this beauty. If you've been in the vette market and your hunting for that special car , I urge you to take a
close look at what is for sale here. Don't sit back and miss the opportunity to buy this car with all the original
components it contains.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It 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.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
