1959 Corvette Restomod

I am selling this fantastic car due to health reasons. It was a two year project that was done by local craftsmen that have a reputation for classic restorations and ground-up builds. Regrettably , I have had only one summer to enjoy it and as you can see it barely has any miles on it. As a previous owner of several other pre 1979 Corvettes this one was built to have all the looks of the classic style with the performance of a C6.

Specifications :

New after market body mounted on a custom square tube powder coated frame
Underbody and firewall painted
Torch Red paint, White cove, clearcoat
C-4 independent front suspension with Corvette power rack, coil over shocks
Strange equipped Ford Racing 9" rear axle with 3.75 : 1 gear . Coil over shocks
LS-6 motor with retro covers (14,000 miles at install) ( 405 horsepower, 10.5 : 1 ratio )
Custom designed ,through the body, side exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, catalytic converters
Cadillac CTS-V 6 speed transmission
Polished aluminum mag wheels
New soft top and frame
Original stock rechromed bumpers
New glass
New stainless
Custom two tone vinyl seats
White faced reproduction guages
Flaming River tilt steering with "Crossed Flags" emblem
AM/FM stereo with i-Pod jack
In -dash and kick panel speakers
Specially designed tail lights in rear bumper exhaust openings
Gas tank relocated to area of spare tire well

This car gets looks wherever we go and has judges and car lovers stopping to ask questions at the few car shows we've attended. The only real caution I would have is that rag tops on these cars were not meant to drive though a rain storm and since we take it out on nice days only that hasn't been an issue even though we got caught one night we managed to stay dry. Many of these aftermarket bodies were designed as topless roadsters but we did modify this one to accommodate the rag top. It is a tight fit and is best raised an lowered by two people. You will notice there is no heater or AC in this car, two features we have never needed.

Many of these restomods are going well into the 6 figures at auction but the reserve on this is well below what these normally go for. The successful bidder will receive all the invoices associated with this build and will see that parts alone on this build came to just over 8OK. Except for the previously mentioned chip and touch up you are looking at a $10,000+ paint job.

I am happy to answer any questions I can. Since I am not not a mechanic I've included all the specifications that were provided to me by the builder. If I don't have an answer, I will be happy to find out.

Chevy: The Big Game

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Chevrolet took an early lead for the 2015 Super Bowl advertising crown with its spot for the all-new, 4G LTE-capable Colorado pickup in a spot that simulated a problem with your TV. The stark, simple ad then states that if you're lucky enough to have an Internet-capable vehicle, like the new Colorado, you'd at least be able to stream the game. A clever, chuckle-inducing spot if there was one. Check out our full write up of the new, 2015 Colorado. Marketing/Advertising Chevrolet Truck Super Bowl Commercials Videos 2015 super bowl ad

Chevy Bolt officially keeping name, says marketing boss

Thu, Apr 16 2015

There might be just a little confusion at first, but the Bolt name is sticking around. After conducting two consumer studies into the name, Chevrolet isn't worried about the similarity of the monikers for the upcoming EV and existing Volt plug-in hybrid. In fact, the brand thinks the resemblance might be for the best. "The decision is made. The name won't be changed." Chevy head of marketing Tim Mahoney said to The Detroit Free Press. The research shows that the compatibility between the two names actually works quite well. With the Volt well established, people apparently already connect the Bolt to the Bowtie, which is just what a brand wants. Both studies indicated the ""same result, it did well," according to Mahoney. Just a few months ago, the future of the Bolt's name wasn't so clear. GM North America President Alan Batey said the company knew there might be confusion, and it was still mulling its options. The Bolt could be a breakthrough in the EV market with a 200-mile range and a possible price of around $30,000 after incentives. Production is set for the Orion Assembly plant in Michigan following a $200 million upgrade there, and the model could be in dealers as soon as 2017. That's just in time to take on the Tesla Model 3 with its claimed $35,000 price and similar driving distance as the Chevy. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy teases Bolt driving range, China pursues EV subsidy cheaters

Tue, Sep 13 2016

Chevy is teasing the Bolt's driving range, which it is set to reveal on Tuesday. It will certainly be able to travel more than 200 miles between charges, but the second and third digits in that value, as it stands today, are still question marks. On its Facebook page, Chevrolet is asking fans to try to guess the official range. Of course, Tesla fans have already started posting their own snide remarks in the comments. Chevy fans are certainly hoping to see the Bolt's range eclipse that of Tesla's upcoming Model 3, which the California-based automaker puts at 215 miles. See Chevy's post on Facebook to make your own guess, or check back there (or here at AutoblogGreen) for the official number once it is unveiled. Fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden says it has signed an agreement with a Chinese company to make range extenders for commercial trucks. The unnamed Chinese customer has placed an order and signed a memorandum of understanding with PowerCell Sweden, and the partners will develop methanol reformer fuel cell range extenders for electric distribution trucks. "Our unique expertise in fuel cells and reformer technology is receiving an increasing attention worldwide and we are truly pleased to get another Chinese order," says PowerCell Sweden Sales Director Andreas Boden.

After the country's Ministry of Finance penalized five companies with fines and, in one case, revocation of production license for subsidy cheats, China has since named 20 more potential violators, including Nissan, Hyundai, JAC, and a subsidiary of BYD. Of the first five companies to be punished under the investigation, Suzhou Gemsea Coach Manufacturing is having its production license revoked, while four others, including a subsidiary of Chery, are being fined for about half of the subsidies received. The scandal is bad new for China's subsidy program, which has helped spur sales of plug-in vehicles. Read more from Fortune, or at Hybrid Cars.
