Up for auction with a low reserve is my 1969 C3 Corvette Stingray Coupe
350 cubic inch small block (Casting number: 3970010)
350 horsepower
380 lbs. of torque
11:1 compression ratio
4 speed manual transmission
Original body color is fathom green with black interior.
NO power steering, NO power brakes, NO power windows, NO tilt/telescopic steering column and NO air conditioning.
Not original motor. Motor is from 1973.
I bought the car back in September 2011 with the intention of finishing the restoration that the previous owner started. The car has been parked in a heated garage all this time and lately I have become very busy with work that I don't see myself getting the car finished anytime within the next 3-5 years and I hate to leave it sit there until then when it is so close to being finished.
What has been done to date:
Completely restored/reconditioned rolling chassis.
Frame fully inspected, sand blasted, and painted with multiple coats of black epoxy enamel paint.
BRAND NEW gas tank, ALL NEW suspension components, new sway bars, new rims, tires, 4 wheel disc brakes, calipers, master cylinder and stainless steel brake lines. New radiator, heater core, new fuel lines and radiator hoses.
The engine was professionally rebuilt in 2003 in Rockland County, NY with all new bearings, mains, valves, new cam, new high flow oil pump, new rear seal, flywheel was turned, new pistons and rings, new lifters, new harmonic balance from Summit, new timing chain and rebuilt cylinder heads from the early 1970's. I do not have documentation to prove this. This is what was told to me by the previous owner when I bought the car.
This is NOT a NCRS numbers matching car! Great project with a lot of potential and when it is complete it will have a value of between 25-30K depending on any additional upgrades you choose to install.
The transmission was rebuilt with ALL NEW GEARS. New clutch assembly as well.
The rear axle has been rebuilt and has the posi traction additive added to it. Ratio is 3.36:1
Brand new exhaust system from the ram horn headers to the mufflers.
The original Rochester Q-Jet 4 barrel carburetor has been professionally rebuilt and looks BRAND NEW. New air cleaner assembly.
Car comes with the original intake manifold. Currently has an Edelbrock performance intake installed on the block.
New fan blade, pulleys and belts. New alternator and fuel pump.
New windshield, new seat cushions and covers, new door panels, new center console and cushion, new carpeting, new insulation, new and/or rebuilt gauges.
New aftermarket Corvette stereo. New dash board components, new front and rear chromed bumpers.
New pair of T-tops, new wiring harnesses, and new vacuum lines and MANY more parts...BOXES OF STUFF...too many to list but you get the idea. The goal was to completely restore this car to make a fun good looking driver out of it and I would say that I have approximately 95-98% of what is needed to finish the job. Everything else that would be needed is small.
The body has been stripped of all its paint and some fiberglass work has already been done. Not for the faint of heart! There are some cracks in the body/fiberglass that needs repairing and/or replacing especially at the nose. The bird cage is intact but will need to be sandblasted and reconditioned around the windshield.
A lot of hard work, time and love has been put into this car and will become a real beauty when it is complete. I have LOTS of pictures I can e-mail you. Please don't hesitate to ask me questions.
Thanks for looking.

Just to clarify any confusion. There is approximately $20,000 worth of new and professionally rebuilt parts which comes with this car. This value is in addition to what has already been invested in the frame, engine, and transmission. The hard part of this restoration has already been done for you.

GM says EVs are the future — but trucks are going to take it there
Fri, Jan 11 2019In the PowerPoint deck for the General Motors Capital Markets Day presentation, one of the more disturbing things comes early on, during GM President Mark Reuss' initial remarks, in an area where he is discussing the company's overall strength in trucks. The point being made is that GM has a truck for all and sundry. And there it is, a phrase on a slide that should send chills up the spines of those who still pine for the old Bob Seger "Like a Rock" Silverado ads: "Little bit country. Little bit rock 'n' roll." That's right. Donny and Marie. Somehow the Denis Leary snark in the F-150 ads is all the more appealing. The Capital Markets Day presentation was chock full of observations about electrification and automation (Reuss and CEO Mary Barra both noted that the corporation's vision is one of "Zero Crashes. Zero Emissions. Zero Congestion." Dan Ammann talked about the progress being made at Cruise Automation; Reuss rolled out the plan for an array of electrified vehicles, with a luxury EV and a compact SUV being the "Centroid Entries" for the modular bases of many others). But it is worth noting that there is no getting away from the power of pickups in the U.S. market, as that was the central topic in Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara's comments, with "Truck Franchise" being flanked by "Key Financial Priorities" and "Financial Outlook." Clearly, to gloss the old phrase, the truck segment is where the money is. Suryadevra enumerated how the truck segment is significantly different than other types of light vehicles. Among her points: GM, Ford and FCA have more than 90% of market share. The truck parc has been growing and aging over the past 10 years. Customers are fiercely loyal to the segment—as in 70% of truck buyers are truck buyers. A good number of the vehicles are for commercial use (40 percent). Trucks are "less prone to. . .mobility disruption." Trucks offer high margins. Translaton: The segment is one that they're solidly positioned in. There are lots of old trucks on the road that will need to be replaced by new ones. Perhaps buyers may switch from a Sierra to a Canyon, but it will be a truck. If your livelihood depends on that type of vehicle, even if gas prices go up or the economy begins to go south, you're going to stick with it. Most of the country isn't San Francisco, so trucks will continue to be essential. And, well, they're profitable in the extreme.
Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application
Fri, Dec 26 2014In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.

GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet
Mon, May 12 2014Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.
