1961 Corvette Roman red with white coves and black interior. This Corvette is good cosmetic and mechanical
condition. This is a non-matching numbers Corvette, 4 speed and appears to be a real Roman red car. I was told
when I purchased it about 6 years ago that it has a 1969 Camaro 327. The paint is presentable (NOT show quality)
and does have some minor scratches and cracking in some areas. From 5 feet away, it looks great.
The white top is intact and fits nice with a small tear just from being in the down position. When I took the
pictures, I hadn’t had the top up for about 5 years – hence the wrinkles. There is no rush on the frame
(appears to have been well rust proofed when new). Appears to have been be repainted once.
The only problem, which does not affect the driving or handling is that the heater box was/is removed and the
immediate area around the passenger hood latch was re-glassed and done poorly (see pictures). It does not affect
the outside appearance (hood area or cowl or the working of the hood latch. I know the person who had the car
before me and it was done over 20 years ago). I have the heater core parts – they go with the car.
The Carburetor was totally professionally rebuilt, rear end had been rebuilt (likely to change gears to a lower
ratio (believe they are 352 gears)) for cruising, the clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearing were replaced
and the radiator was completely disassembled and re-cored.
I have had a number of Corvettes from the years 1954 to C3’s – most NCRS Top Flight quality cars. I brought
this car to enjoy as a driver. I live in NJ and wouldn’t hesitate to get in the car and drive 1K miles. It is
very reliable and starts immediately. I take the car to Corvette Carlisle with no problems (350 miles). The car
has radial tires on it to improve handling.
I am only selling the car because I will be moving in a year and have other collector cars and motor cycles. The
cost of moving the herd any distance gets expensive. If I don’t sell it, it’s not a big deal to me.
I took 170 picture and will be glad to send you whatever angle or view you would like. If you are in NJ, I would
encourage you to look at the car. I will make every effort to be available.

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

Chevy, GMC have electric pickups coming. Is Cadillac next?

Fri, Jan 7 2022

GMC already has an uber-expensive electric pickup in the Hummer EV. By now you've no doubt seen the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. It's a pickup. It's electric. It looks a little bit like an Avalanche. Hmm. You know what else was a pickup that looked a little bit like an Avalanche? Why, the Cadillac Escalade EXT, of course.  Cadillac Escalade EV-T yes or no?https://t.co/R1AXThRzIG@therealautoblog @Cadillac — Byron "Don't do anything Byron says. Ever" Hurd (@Byron_AB) January 7, 2022 So, hypothetically, if Cadillac were to build an Escalade EXT with an upmarket interior, Super Cruise, a minimum of 300 miles of range, 10,000 pounds of towing capacity, a locking frunk and 5-passenger seating, plus all of the nifty doodads and gadgets we've already seen on the Silverado ... would it sell?  OK, this isn't entirely hypothetical. In fact, I received a survey from Cadillac this morning asking just that. It's an interesting question. And it's one we're putting to you, the readers. So, what say you? Cadillac Escalade EV-T? Yes or no? Related video:

Since 2010, Chevy Volt has outsold Nissan Leaf by just two units

Tue, Mar 3 2015

The first two plug-in vehicles from major automakers in the US were the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. Ever since they went on sale to much fanfare in late 2010, we've been tracking the monthly sales with great interest (and, of course, other green vehicle sales as well). After a big initial lead by the Volt – the Volt outsold the Leaf 23,461 to 9,819 in 2012 – the Leaf has been chugging along and outsold the Volt every month since November 2013. We knew that the cumulative totals would soon tip in favor of the Leaf, but for at least one more month, the Volt is going to be able to say its the most popular plug-in vehicle in the US. Overall, for all officially reported sales of the Leaf and the Volt, things are almost exactly tied. Since the vehicles went on sale in the end of 2010 until the end of February 2015, the Volt has sold 74,592 units and the Leaf has sold ... drumroll please ... 74,590 units. For February, Leaf sales totaled 1,198 units, a 17-percent drop from the 1,425 Leafs sold last February. Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure, said in a statement that, "Tough winter weather in several key markets held EV sales back in February. As we head into spring, we look forward to seeing more dealership traffic so shoppers can experience firsthand the benefits of the all-electric Nissan Leaf." Of course, it was cold in the US last February, too, but we're sure that the nasty weather did indeed play a role last month. Things were even worse for the Chevy Volt, which dropped to just 693 copies sold, down 47 percent from the 1,210 sold last year. That's just barely enough for Chevy to keep talking about its plug-in sales leadership, but we expect the message to change once the March numbers come out next month. Related Video:
