First off, this is the personal vehicle of a 75 year old female friend of mine. She purchased this car when a close friend of hers died at age 95 in 1989. She is now the 2nd owner. The car was garaged it's entire life with the exception of 3 years when it was simply in a carport. When I tell you this car RUNS and DRIVES like a brand new base model car, that is no exaggeration. I was driving it to my home doing about 45 and I braked HARD and the car did not pull or deviate from a straight path. I booted it from a stop sign (just to see) and it smoked the tire for about 20 feet. Runs great! Shifts perfectly. Tires like new. Exhaust IS new. There is not a rippled panel on this car and not a door ding or scratch evident. There IS rust starting in a few spots (pictured) and the rear fender wells at the bottom are rotted (ALL spots easily contained and easily repaired). I banged all over the frame and it appears solid. The engine, tranny and ANY running gear have NEVER been touched or removed from the car. ALL original to the car. The carb has been changed but the choke activated like it was new. There is an aftermarket radio (plain jane) that plays well. Crank windows, NO AC, no power nuthin but DOES have power steering cuz it drives AWESOME. She has the metal GM plate that was issued with the car, the original manual, she even has every registration to the car since new (along with some McDonalds bags folded up in case she needed a rubbish bag). If you were to put maybe up to a grand in new panels and paint and a new seat cover that a DOZEN places online list them for $239-279 COMPLETE, you'd have one heck of a nice dependable CLASSIC unmolested car. Trunk is solid with no rust, even at the spring towers. I'm telling you this is a real survivor. On the drive to my house from hers, the FIRST turn I took onto the main road.......FIRST turn I had a guy gawking and giving me the thumbs up. Just a nice nice example of a car that LITERALLY was driven by two little old ladies. Don't miss this chance. I told her I'd offer it as an "auction" with the understanding that it IS being offered at a local Hot Rod Shop on their lot, so don't mess around. If it sells there, the auction ends! At her request I put a "buy it now" of $7500. Contact me if you want to make a buy it now offer and I will propose it to her. She wants this SOLD so get serious. Fly in to Worcester MA and I'll pick you up to see it if you want. Ask questions and I'll be 100% honest, not only cuz of my 100% Ebay rating, but cuz I have no interest in it's sale, other than to help an elderly friend (and I am quite the car nut). Again, good luck. Fran

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
