You are bidding on a 1961 BelAir Sport Coupe. Also known as a "Bubbletop". These cars are rare. This car has had a lot done to it. It has been stripped down and everything sandblasted. The frame was painted with POR-15 black. All new bushings, joints, bearings, ect. It has been C notched in the rear and the four corners bagged. All unwanted holes have been smoothed. The original rear end was narrowed 6 inches and mossier axels installed with new bearings. The rear trailing arms are boxed and huge front and rear sway bars put on. With a 70 Z28 fast ratio steering box and pitman arm, the steering is super fast. 4 wheel dics brakes installed. The body was put on a rotisserie. New floors installed, new full rockers, firewall smoothed, 18' wide tubs installed, gas tank reloacted, trunk floors made, doors shaved, trim shaved, exhaust tips half recessed in front of the rear wheel openings, and gas filler neck shaved. The underside of the body is painted with POR 15 also. The air bags are plumbed to the trunk with valve stems to pump them up. The compressor, tank, and all 3/8" valves are included but not installed. The wheels that are on the car in the pics have been sold and do not come with the car. All of the original interior is included, but is very rough and is just for patterns and roof bow locations.
The motor is a 93 LT1 with a carb on it. Its been bored and stroked, with ported heads and a custom ground comp cam. Gross lift .541/.544, duration @.050 is 230/236. 4K has been spent on the motor. Croppers Machine shop in flemingsburg KY did all the motor work. About 450 horse. The trans is a 6 speed maual from a 93 Z28.
The car has a Jegs wiring harness with dolphine gauges that are all hooked up besides the speedo. The car needs all of the interior. I have the front and rear seats out of a avalon that are included. They are tan leather.
The BAD about this car is that on the first test drive out the paassenger rear wheel came off at about 15-20 mph and messed up the tub, trunk floor and quarter. When it hit the ground it put a small spot right behind the back glass on the passenger side, a spot on the top of the quarter above the tub on the drivers side, and a small "oil can" on the driver side just in front of the wheel opening. I had two different shops look at it and they both said that the car was not warpped or twisted. They both also said that that quarter panel can be saved, straighened out, and used. I have been working on this car for years and im tired of seeing it take up space in my garage. This would be a very cool ride if someone finished it. Most of the pics were taken before the wheel came off and wrecked it. The close up pics are of the damage afterwards. Call/text me with any questions 859-585-2659. I WILL NOT trade for a bike, trike, or boat.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
