Up for sale is my 1968 Corvette Coupe with T-tops.  Car is beautiful, sounds like its about to take flight on the drag strip, and runs like a scalded dog.  Has the 327/350 option with a 4-speed.  I bought this from a friend who needed money to build his house. I realized after I bought it that I have 9 other vehicles, and it has rained every day except 4 since I moved to Florida over Memorial Day weekend. So, I realized I haven't ridden either of my Harley's since I moved, not once!  This car, and my 65 Mustang, have mostly been moved from my garage to my shop so I could drywall the garage then back into the garage.  I bought this car in Dec 2012, and when I looked on the title and the odometer today, I realized it had 81,674 miles on it when I bought it, and today it reads 81,686 which means I've driven it a total of 12 miles since I bought it, and that was to go to the DMV, and once this weekend when it was test-driven locally by a guy who wanted to trade me a Cabin Cruiser for it. I have a wave runner and a boat that I just bought last week, so had I known that before he test-drove it, I wouldn't have wasted that trip!


As for the condition, the pics pretty much speak for themselves. I have the factory luggage rack and factory steering wheel the guy gave me. I have the factory shop manuals somewhere too. Car starts, runs, rides beautifully, sounds like a serious hot rod with the custom exhaust, and has what looks to be relatively new wheels/tires. The only issues I found with the car were the seat belts were for crap, so I have new, generic ones in the packages to go with the car. I also noticed, on the only day I parked it outside, that the T-Top weatherstrips leak, so I just purchased a complete new weatherstrip kit for almost $500 from Mid-America Corvettes, and the kit is still in the box, and will be included. I don't know of other issues with the car, understanding that I've only driven it 12 miles.  I encourage local inspection, and feel free to bring your mechanic with you!  Car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty, but again, I encourage local inspection, and I'll be happy to take you for a ride. 

I looked up the NADA on the car. Today, it lists the low retail at $21K, the average retail in the $40's, and the high retail in the $50's.  I live near Pensacola, Florida, and here the insurance company and the DMV have to inspect the car, and the insurance company has pictures taken and filed so I could recoup my losses if anything happened, and so I could put Antique plates on it. After doing so, the Insurance Company did comps in the local Region, and it's currently insured for $33,500.  I've started the bid where I feel like someone can get a good deal on a really nice Vette.  I could probably hold out for big bucks, but the car is not doing anything for me except sitting in the garage collecting dust, while I pay increased insurance rates because of the insured value. So, if you want it, bid to own it. I have set my starting bid, and if it ends up a penny over, so be it. The car needs an owner. 

Now for the necessary stuff:  NO outside the lower 48 bids, sales or shipping. Car has been described to the best of my ability and knowledge. Inspection encouraged and invited. I will entertain offers of trades, but I don't want ANY projects, no matter how little you think needs to be done. If you want to trade anything, you have to have a clear title, and be able to bring your prospective trade to my house, no exceptions. Cash is the only form of payment I'll accept, I don't care what your wife says. NO money orders, NO checks, NO google payments, and NO paypal beyond the deposit. And last but not least, check my feedback from over 10 years on ebay. I'm honest, and will deal with you straight up. I have heard and had guys try ALL the scams and silliness on me, so please don't waste your time. I'm not letting you send me a wire transfer, and have your brother/shipper/cousin or anybody else transact any business for you.  Cash, in person, is the only way this works, period. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end, and balance upon pickup within 7 days. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction until the first bid is entered. Once that happens, it will run til sold. If your feedback is less than 5, or you have negatives for non-payment, I reserve the right to cancel your bid.  Thanks for looking, and don't be afraid to send me reasonable offers.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
