1963 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Green Isle, Minnesota, United States
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT: chancecaagbayani@pompeyfans.com .
This beautiful, original machine has been in my possession for over 35 years. Unfortunately, it's time for me to
part with her, a tough decision I might add. It's been driven a few hundred miles each summer and then carefully
stored through every winter. I have not had the hardtop on the car in over 20 years. It's been wrapped and placed
in storage. Summertime simply requires the top to be down, thus the hardtop has remained in storage. Last Fall
along came a gift from 50 years ago, Agent Orange-caused cancer. I'm doing well but my leg no longer allows me to
get in and out of the car very easily. It's time for others to enjoy it.
The photos are not retouched nor altered. They were uploaded at full resolution so you can better review its
condition. If you are interested I'll email additional images, there are more than what is displayed in this ad.
All numbers match and of course, the engine is the original. The Condition Description above and the following
comments are from the professional appraiser.
Appraisers Summary/Comments: "This car remains in very good basically unmolested condition with the exception of a
few somewhat easily obtainable parts. For the Corvette purists, cars like this are hard to find. Even the paint
remains acceptable and I certainly would not repaint it. The 340hp engine is also very desirable and is only topped
by the fuel injected 360hp version. Internet sources show me that 6978 Corvettes were produced this year with the
340hp engine. The car does deserve a premium for its originality. I will place an overall condition code on this
vehicle of #3. (Condition code: #1 Excellent, #2 Fine, #3 Very Good, #4 Good/Fair, #5 Poor/Restorable, #6 Parts
Car)."
And the lucky person who chooses to cruise in this wonderful car will receive a digital copy of "Little Red
Corvette" at no extra cost. Really!

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It 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.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The 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 Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
