If you have any questions feel free to email me at: burmabluett@juno.com .
This is a frame off/nut and bolt restored 1968 Corvette Convertible 427 Tri Power 435hp 4 Speed with only 65,456
miles. It is a NUMBERS MATCHING motor, transmission and rear end. The current and third owner has had this car
for 25 years since 1991. Just about every piece of this car has been replaced or restored. The car was
disassembled, the body separated from the frame, the body stripped and prepped and repainted in January of 2006.
The car was then reassembled with many new parts, restored original parts and a few original parts that were good
enough to reuse as is. The frame was media blasted, painted, and reassembled with all new suspension components,
Bilstein shocks, stainless brake lines, gas tank, new body mounts, etc. The original numbers matching 427ci 435hp
engine was rebuilt to factory specs with all new internals. It was also dipped clean and repainted correct. The
original 3x2 tri power intake and carbs were rebuilt, installed and adjusted. All new hoses, belts, radiator,
clutch, motor mounts, stainless exhaust, wiring and all the other ancillary parts are new but the original
alternator was rebuilt and installed. The braking system is new from front to back and top to bottom including
stainless sleeved brake calipers and silicone brake fluid. We have carefully documented all the work with every
receipt as well as notes from the rebuild. The original Muncie M22 transmission and 3.55:1 Heavy Duty
Positraction rear end were also rebuilt and restored to factory specs. I have provided all of the stamping
numbers and codes from the car farther down the page. The body was painted back to the correct #976 International
Blue before being reassembled. New bonding strips were installed before paint and body work. The car comes with
extra paint for future use. All of the body gaps are very nice and even, the bird cage and frame are original and
solid. The original bumpers were rechromed and are beautiful. The new BF Goodrich Radials are wrapped around 8"
Rally Wheels with trim rings and hubcaps. The original hubcaps are included with the sale but not on the car.
The original Firestone Super Sport Wide Oval spare tire is in the spare tire carrier and still holds air. The
convertible top is brand new and put down for the first time in these pictures. The interior sports the
original dashboard and steering wheel as well as the seats in #414 Medium Blue vinyl. All of the gauges and
accessories work as designed including the power windows, wipers, headlights less the fiber optics in the console.
The carpet, door panels, visors and other trim pieces are brand new. While the interior is currently set up as
a radio delete, the original radio is included. This car runs and drives flawlessly. It drives straight with no
pulling and stops on a dime. As you can see from the pictures, this car is a show stopper for the casual observer
up to and including the seasoned collector.

GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk
Thu, Jul 9 2015An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software.

The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
