I bought this car back in July,2009 and then began upgrading,repairing and replacing everything in the car other than the engine,as that had already been done before i bought the car. This car has been completely rebuilt. It needs nothing. The project was completed in Jan.,2014 with $92,250.00 having been spent. There has only been approximately 300 miles put on the car since it was completed. Put gas in the tank and drive it anywhere. This car is equipped with a factory original numbers matching 327 cu. in. / 300 h.p. engine that had been completely rebuilt shortly before i bought the car. Whoever rebuilt this engine knew exactly what they were doing,as this is a very strong engine. I replaced the 2-Speed Power Glide Transmission with the better 3-Speed Turbo Hydra Matic Auto. Trans. for much better drive ability and performance. At this time i had all (6) universal joints replaced,as well as all (4) shock absorbers replaced. I had the entire Air Conditioning system converted over to the newer R-134-A system from the old R-12 system. New "Sanden" A/C compressor,new condenser core with electric fan pushing air through the front of the condenser core. A cutoff valve installed that stops the follow of coolant running through the heater core for much better A/C cooling. Completely replaced the entire power steering system with all new components. Completely rebuilt the entire instrument cluster with new speedometer cable,new tachometer drive gear,new clock and installed all new "L.E.D." lights for much better visibility at night. New power window buttons. Completely rebuilt the entire cooling system starting with a nice big heavy duty "De Witt" aluminum radiator,a high performance water pump,a 6-blade direct drive fan replacing the original 5-blade clutch fan. You will NOT have any of the old cooling problems that Corvettes were so well known for. I also had the water jackets inside the engine block drained,cleaned and flushed before installing all of these nice new parts. I also installed nice new metallic hoses. The entire electrical system has been rebuilt with a new alternator,voltage regulator,battery and a new compact starter. All new fuel system including a Holley 4 bbl. carburetor with manual choke,Holley Fuel Pump and all new metallic fuel lines. All new "H.E.I." electronic ignition system complete with custom made "Taylor" ignition wires. All new power brake system complete with high performance stainless steel brake rotors for much cooler braking operation,a new power brake booster and master cylinder. Car has "Positraction" rear end with a rear end gear ratio of 3.08:1 replacing the 3.36:1 rear end gear ratio that came with the car. I found this to be much better for the air conditioning compressor to do a much better job of cooling at highway speeds. Replaced all old tail lights with the new "L.E.D." light bulbs. Making it much easier to be seen at night. Repaired headliner,installed new insulation and new carpet. Had windows tinted. Replaced a leaky exhaust manifold on the drivers side with a good factory original part.

Some of the factory options on this car include "Side Mounted Exhaust Pipes",Delco AM / FM push button radio with power antenna,"Day / Night" inside rearview mirror and i had installed a right hand side outside rearview mirror. This car also comes with "After Market" knock off wheels. These wheels ARE NOT factory original "Kelsey-Hayes" knock off wheels,but I think they look very nice. Also included with the car are a 1966 Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual,1964 & 1966 Corvette Owners Manual. Every part receipt and all of the documentation that I have.

The spare tire is new and has never been on the ground. The 4-tires that are on the ground are relatively new,as they only have approximately 9,000 miles on them. These tires are B.F. Goodrich Premier Touring White Walls (215 70-R-15) and the spare is a B.F.Goodrich Touring Black Wall (205 70-R 15). Odometer reading at the time of this listing is 71,475.

Car is being sold "AS IS". Thanks for looking.

P.S. This is my "SHOW CAR" and has won 12 Plaques and Trophies. The plaques and trophies will go with the car.

P.P.S. I'm sure it goes without saying,but "THIS CAR NEVER GETS DRIVEN IN THE RAIN"!!!!!!! It is garage kept in a climate controled garage,air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter.

Anyone having any serious questions concerning my pride and joy please don't hesitate to ask and I will try to get back with you "A.S.A.P."!

GM doubles miles open to its Super Cruise technology

Wed, Aug 3 2022

DETROIT — General Motors said on Wednesday owners of certain vehicles equipped with its Super Cruise assisted driving system will now be able to use it on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads, doubling the current operating area as Tesla and other automakers race to deploy hands-free cruising technology. GM's Super Cruise system, like Tesla's Autopilot system, is a driver assistance system, and does not enable true autonomous driving. Spurred by Tesla's aggressive deployment of Autopilot, and Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk's promises of a more advanced "Full Self Driving" system, GM, Ford, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz are racing to deploy competing partial automation technology in major markets. At the same time, safety regulators are showing concern that drivers do not understand that Autopilot and similar systems are not designed to take over driving in every circumstance. The GM system's sensors and software allow a motorist to cruise with hands off the wheel on highways that have been mapped in detail. But the driver is expected to stay alert and ready to take over the car. GM uses technology to monitor the driver, and Super Cruise will sound alarms or slow the car to a stop if it detects that a driver is not responding. Starting later this year, GM plans to enable vehicles equipped with Super Cruise and the company's latest vehicle electronic system to operate hands-free on major, undivided highways in the United States and Canada, as well as additional miles of divided, interstate highways. Currently, Super Cruise operates only on interstate, divided highways. The expansion, enabled by wider digital mapping, will allow owners of properly equipped GM vehicles to cruise hands-free on stretches of Route 66 and the Pacific Coast Highway in the U.S. West or the Trans-Canada highway in Western Canada, GM said. Many of the new roads GM has mapped are in rural, heartland states where GM pickup trucks are popular. GM plans to offer Super Cruise as an option on its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra large pickups later this year. GM has said previously it intends to offer Super Cruise as an option on 22 models by the end of 2023. Depending on the model, Super Cruise costs $2,200 to $2,500 to add as an option.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

'Baby Driver' is a car chase movie set to music

Mon, Mar 13 2017

The Fate of the Furious is certainly the 6,000-pound SUV in the garage of automotive movies, but that doesn't mean gearheads are starved for options. The upcoming film Baby Driver looks to be a winner for car guys, featuring exciting chases with cars including a "hawk-eye" Impreza WRX, a Dodge Challenger, and a 1980s Chevy Caprice. The movie is written and directed by Edgar Wright, whom you may know as the man behind movies such as Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And based on the two trailers released so far, seen above and below, it's about a young man by the name of Baby, who is a getaway driver for criminals. He's apparently the best in the business, and the secret to his success is the music he listens to while he's driving. He also wants out, but his boss, played by Kevin Spacey, has no intention of letting him go. Spacey is one of a number of major stars in the film, including Jamie Foxx and John Hamm. The driving action shown in the trailers definitely looks entertaining. The WRX is seen doing an array of drifts and J-turns. There is some driving precision on display here that wouldn't be out of place in a Gymkhana video. And it looks like Wright's attention to detail in his shots and transitions, as well as some solid comedy relief, are all going to be present. The film comes out this August.
