The ‘68 was not called a Stingray and is unique of all the C3s

Remember the L88?

This car has 30+ years in and out of storage with several moves...

I’ve also posted a couple of pictures of my Corvette/projects; they are not for sale, so please don’t ask. My babies!

This started as a father/son project, but because of Dad’s health (he’s nearly 70), financial considerations, and storage reasons he is certain it would not get completed. And, I’m busy with my ’67.

Factory original engine was: a 327 SBC, 300 HP with 4 speed gearbox
It now has: a rebuildable 454 BBC resides with a 4 speed gearbox

I have another “010” standard bore, 350, 4-bolt main block and also the coil springs that may go with it or swap? (read further)
Also, a complete vintage ‘68 350HP 396 could be included or purchased separately (read further)

This car has power steering, power brakes, non-air, manual windows
Cleaning house...Interior pieces are in several boxes with spare parts.

I will box up and seal to protect them in transit

Front and rear sway bars
4 wheel disc brakes
Two sets of wheels: Original Rally and American Racing
Hardtop only (perfect for a an ’68 L88 clone!)
New BBC headers in box

New Front end clip, temporarily attached in place
“427” Original big block hood with trim and emblems! (Worth nearly $1000.00 +/- by itself.)

Frame is in good shape with surface rust only (no rust outs)
Spare tire cover in good shape with original jack and handle
Body was stripped bare, several layers of primer applied and some areas are sanded smooth
New door pins/bushings installed in the hinges years ago

I may have missed something, but to my knowledge, I believe that is most of it. Please feel free to ask questions before bidding. I will do my best to answer them. I am not an expert by any means, but love these cars. I wish things were different and I was a bit younger, too, LOL... Barely enough time to work on my cars and ride my bike! If you are serious and are close to the St. Louis, Missouri area, you may arrange to see the car. Sorry for only posting exterior pictures, but the car is currently in storage. The majority of the interior is boxed up in my father’s basement. These pictures were taken in the fall of 2013 at my house while we were cleaning the car. We were waiting for Spring when the project season begins, but now have decided to let the car find a new home instead.

We have a dollar number in mind (above reserve); if the price meets our figure then the extra engines (mentioned earlier in this post) will be included for the new owner. There is an extra 4 speed, too. But, I think that the 4 speed needs some attention. However, if the car doesn’t meet our figure during the auction, the extra engines, etc listed above would not be included. They would be for sale separate from this auction. Please inquire if you have questions.

I will assist in loading the parts and the car. BUT, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to incur any and all expenses related to shipping and or damages. There are no guarantees in life, none on this vehicle, and no warranty is implied or given as well. This Corvette is nearly 50 years old. So, please understand this is a huge undertaking and only the experienced should consider it. Chevrolet only produced 18,630 convertibles in 1968.

I reserve the right to sell the car locally, but only AFTER this Ebay auction has ended, if the car didn’t meet reserve. I will not entertain any funny business, “lookie Lous”, or tire kickers! I have a 100% positive feedback.

If you bid and win, you’ve purchased this car. I can retain the storage until the end of March 2014. Otherwise, additional expenses will be incurred by the new owner/purchaser. Once the car is paid for, in full, then additional storage time could be addressed for a later pick up. A $1,000.00 payment is required to my Paypal account within 24 hours of auction’s end, period. The balance shall be paid to me, via cash, M.O., or a cashier’s check within 7 calendar days after deposit. No refunds and no excuses please. The payment must be cleared before I will release the car and the title.

Thank you for your time to review this auction. Happy bidding! Remember, this is supposed to be fun and, it’s nearly spring, so... lets go!

Good luck,

Scott

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.
