The ‘68 was not called a Stingray and is unique of all the C3s

Remember the L88?

This car has 30+ years in and out of storage with several moves...

I’ve also posted a couple of pictures of my Corvette/projects; they are not for sale, so please don’t ask. My babies!

This started as a father/son project, but because of Dad’s health (he’s nearly 70), financial considerations, and storage reasons he is certain it would not get completed. And, I’m busy with my ’67.

Factory original engine was: a 327 SBC, 300 HP with 4 speed gearbox
It now has: a rebuildable 454 BBC resides with a 4 speed gearbox

I have another “010” standard bore, 350, 4-bolt main block and also the coil springs that may go with it or swap? (read further)
Also, a complete vintage ‘68 350HP 396 could be included or purchased separately (read further)

This car has power steering, power brakes, non-air, manual windows
Cleaning house...Interior pieces are in several boxes with spare parts.

I will box up and seal to protect them in transit

Front and rear sway bars
4 wheel disc brakes
Two sets of wheels: Original Rally and American Racing
Hardtop only (perfect for a an ’68 L88 clone!)
New BBC headers in box

New Front end clip, temporarily attached in place
“427” Original big block hood with trim and emblems! (Worth nearly $1000.00 +/- by itself.)

Frame is in good shape with surface rust only (no rust outs)
Spare tire cover in good shape with original jack and handle
Body was stripped bare, several layers of primer applied and some areas are sanded smooth
New door pins/bushings installed in the hinges years ago

I may have missed something, but to my knowledge, I believe that is most of it. Please feel free to ask questions before bidding. I will do my best to answer them. I am not an expert by any means, but love these cars. I wish things were different and I was a bit younger, too, LOL... Barely enough time to work on my cars and ride my bike! If you are serious and are close to the St. Louis, Missouri area, you may arrange to see the car. Sorry for only posting exterior pictures, but the car is currently in storage. The majority of the interior is boxed up in my father’s basement. These pictures were taken in the fall of 2013 at my house while we were cleaning the car. We were waiting for Spring when the project season begins, but now have decided to let the car find a new home instead.

We have a dollar number in mind (above reserve); if the price meets our figure then the extra engines (mentioned earlier in this post) will be included for the new owner. There is an extra 4 speed, too. But, I think that the 4 speed needs some attention. However, if the car doesn’t meet our figure during the auction, the extra engines, etc listed above would not be included. They would be for sale separate from this auction. Please inquire if you have questions.

I will assist in loading the parts and the car. BUT, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to incur any and all expenses related to shipping and or damages. There are no guarantees in life, none on this vehicle, and no warranty is implied or given as well. This Corvette is nearly 50 years old. So, please understand this is a huge undertaking and only the experienced should consider it. Chevrolet only produced 18,630 convertibles in 1968.

I reserve the right to sell the car locally, but only AFTER this Ebay auction has ended, if the car didn’t meet reserve. I will not entertain any funny business, “lookie Lous”, or tire kickers! I have a 100% positive feedback.

If you bid and win, you’ve purchased this car. I can retain the storage until the end of March 2014. Otherwise, additional expenses will be incurred by the new owner/purchaser. Once the car is paid for, in full, then additional storage time could be addressed for a later pick up. A $1,000.00 payment is required to my Paypal account within 24 hours of auction’s end, period. The balance shall be paid to me, via cash, M.O., or a cashier’s check within 7 calendar days after deposit. No refunds and no excuses please. The payment must be cleared before I will release the car and the title.

Thank you for your time to review this auction. Happy bidding! Remember, this is supposed to be fun and, it’s nearly spring, so... lets go!

Good luck,

Scott

GM struggles to sell small cars, plans to lay off 2,084 employees at two plants

Thu, Nov 10 2016

Due to low demand for some of its vehicles, General Motors plans to cut 2,084 jobs at its assembly plants in Lordstown, OH and Lansing, MI. At the same time, the automaker also announced plans to invest approximately $900 million in three of its facilities – the Toledo Transmission Operations in Ohio, Bedford Casting Operations in Indiana, and Lansing Grand River in Michigan - for future products. GM will discontinue the third shift at both the Lansing Grand River plant and the Lordstown, OH plant. The Cadillac ATS, Cadillac CTS, and Chevrolet Camaro are made at the automaker's plant in Michigan, which currently has 2,700 employees. The move to eliminate the third shift affects 810 hourly workers, as well as 29 salaried employees, starting on January 16th. The plant in Lordstown, OH currently has 4,500 employees and makes the Chevrolet Cruze sedan. The plan to discontinue the third shift will affect 43 salaried workers and 1,202 hourly employees and will start on January 23rd. As Fortune points out, sales of the Cruze are down 20 percent through October, while sales of the Cadillac ATS and CTS were down 17 percent through the same period of time. In addition to cutting the third shift at both assembly plants, the automaker plans to invest a total of $900 million between three of its facilities for unnamed future products. GM's Toledo Transmission Operations will receive $667.6 million, the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant will receive $211 million, and the automaker's Bedford Casting Operations will get $37 million. Last year, GM cut roughly 500 jobs from its Orion Township factory due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, with surging crossover and SUV sales as the most likely culprit. With GM posting much healthier sales figures for the Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac XT5 compared to the ATS, CTS, and Cruze, it looks like compact SUVs are to blame for this year's layoffs as well.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting? Vote in our poll below, then feel free to leave a few lines in Comments.
