Chevrolet Corvette Standard on 2040-cars
Cochranville, Pennsylvania, United States
This 1963 Corvette Convertible has had a recent total body off restoration. It was refinished in the correct trim tag color (936) Ermine White with a (490M) Red interior.Read this description carefully if you intend to purchase this car. I am including everything I know about the car including any flaws. I realize it is difficult to buy a car from photos and description. Please contact me through the ebay system with any questions. If you can see it personally, I will be pleased to show it to you. Body: Excellent quality BC/CC PPG Ermine White paint. Body lines are as good or better than factory, except rears of doors are a little low where they line up with the quarter panels (see photos). Also, there is a small stress crack at the corner of the left headlight door. (photo)All the plating is new, stainless is polished. Gas cap is incorrect , from a 1965 or 1966 model. Most 1963 type reproductions have tool marks: I was waiting to get a good one. Glass is all the factory installed LOF, most likely all original glass in very good condition. Some very small chips in windshield - no wiper marks. Windows, vent windows open and close smoothly. Wheel covers are polished with new reproduction spinners. The 6 bars on each hubcap have light pitting on some of them. Tires are American Classic radials 1" WW - with very low miles on them. Spare tire is used but very good WW. I do not have the jack, but that is an easy item to locate because it was also used on the Corvair. All lights, headlight doors, wiper, washers, etc. operate as normal. Hardtop & Soft Top: Hardtop has been restored with new headliner, fasteners, and weatherstripping. (See photo) Soft top vinyl is new. Soft top frame is clean, painted and like new. Interior: All soft trim, weatherstripping, everything is fresh and new. Gas gauge is not working correctly - may need recalibrated. Moving float in tank moves the gauge but not full range. This isn't a big problem because it's easy to look down into the tank to see the amount of fuel in it. Everything else in the dash works correctly. Speedometer was recalibrated, but odometer miles were left alone at about 48,000. There is no way of knowing what the true miles are. Radio is a new reproduction Wonderbar AM/FM still under warranty. Engine: The 327 motor is correct for the car, but is not the original motor. The motor in the car is a rare 1968 Nova L79 Hi-po motor- one of only 1274 made that year. Casting #3914678- Stamped V0523EP. Engine was built before I purchased the car. It is cammed with roller rockers, Edelbrook Torker II, etc. I changed the valve covers and the heads, rockers, etc. were very clean - fresh build. Runs strong, more power than I need at 70 years of age. It sounds great running through factory type mufflers and pipes. Original Delco tach distributor. Chromed water pump and alternator are shiny but not show chrome. Correctly dated reproduction coolant tank, battery cables, hoses, ignition shielding, etc.. Chassis: Everything under the car is repainted, new or refurbished. New trailing arms, shocks, coils, brakes, exhaust system, etc. (see photos) There is a dent in the lower frame rail down low on the frame near the rear wheel. (see photo) This car once had side pipes on it. It appears the side pipe was hit near the rear wheel and the pipe pushed into the frame rail, which put a dent in the frame rail. The damage was below the body, so there was no body damage. The frame was not damaged and never needed straightened. It is just a superficial dent that I want the buyer to know about. Transmission: The 4 speed transmission shifts as designed and has the factory Corvette shifter in place. On 2 occasions in the past, when going down a hill in a lower gear (2nd or 3rd, I don't remember) it came out of gear. I have since adjusted the linkage and it hasn't happened since. Not sure what's going on there. At the worst it may need a synchro at some time in the future.Shipping: Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will help where I can to coordinate pick up by your transportation company.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
