NOTE: In the product details it says "Drive Type: U/K". I don't know if that implies "unknown" or if that means "United Kingdom". But it wouldn't let me create my listing unless I selected that. Just to be clear: the steering wheel is on the left-side, and it is a completely United States car.
I bought this car 3 years ago for my son, did some work, he ended up not driving it. Don't have time to drive it myself, so it's sitting in a storage garage. On top of that, I have another one I want to restore, so I have to sell this one to make room.
This is a nice looking, mostly original car that starts/runs/drives extremely good. After sitting in storage for a two-month stretch it starts right up. This is NOT a show-car restoration by any means, but it does look nice and is fun to drive. We did have a body shop repair some minor rust and dings and paint it three years ago with PPG basecoat/clearcoat. Haven't touched it since, and it looks pretty good, but it could use some buffing now and it would be even better.
New stuff I installed:
- Edelbrock carb and air cleaner
- HEI distributor
- Plugs & wires
- Alternator
- Windshield
- Tie rod ends and other stearing linkage parts.
- Rear transmission seal.
- Front brakes - pads and calipers. Rear brakes checked, they're good.
- Tires are still nearly new, as you can see in the pictures.
Problems:
- Has one cigarette hole in the front seat, otherwise interior is in excellent shape - headliner in great shape, no cracks in the dash.
- Shifter linkage (on the column) is a little sloppy, probably needs to be tightened up. But it works.
- It's got an aftermarket radio in the dash, but it doesn't work.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
