Up for auction is a 1976 Corvette Stingray Coupe. It's an L-82, numbers matching. It is owned by a close friend, who doesn't have an ebay account. It use to be long to my best friend since 2006. Tony bought it just before his passing in 2011. It originally was bought new in Oklahoma, then sold in Arkansas. Where it resided till 2006, when My best friend Bob brought it to Missouri. It's been here since then.
This numbers matching Corvette Coupe has never been wrecked, and has only repaint, in 2008. The carpets were replaced in 2009, and the luggage rack was added at the same time. Floor mats were bought during the same time period.
The engine is an L-82, that burns no oil and runs very strong. Transmission does not leak or have any problems. The trailing arms were rebuilt in 2010, and all front bushings were replaced then as well. It now, as of 2010, has a new 3 row aluminum radiator. and all new hoses. The clock doesn't work. The radio works, but to perform better, it needs modern guts put inside. Air Conditioning will work, but leaks out in about a week. I think it is O-rings, from sitting so much.
The wheels and tires came off another 76 Corvette Tony sold. They wanted the rally wheel combo, so he switched. Tires have about 80% tread. And there is a key for the wheel locks.
Tony just, in the past 2 weeks had the ignition system worked on. All new plugs and wires were put on, because the chrome headers would burn them up. He also at the same time replaced the headers for factory exhaust manifolds. And reduced the exhaust tubes back to 2 and a half inch, back to factory size. A new over flow bottle was installed as well. Old one leaked real bad.
I have driven this car on several occasions, and can tell you that it is a joy to drive. I have placed it in several car shows as well. It shows that nice.
Now the bad. It has a small oil leak from the rear main seal, and it sits way too long in Tony's shed. Basicly driven when I get a chance. He enjoys his C5 more.
This classic C3 Corvette Coupe needs a home where some one will enjoy it, and maintain it. Every time I drive it, people give thumbs up, or comments how how cool it looks. If you like to brag, then this is the Corvette for you. Every one wants to ask questions when it parked.
I think I have covered everything about this car. If there are any questions, just e-mail me, and I will answer your questions or concerns. Thank you and good luck

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
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.
