1972 Chevelle Convertible. Two owner car. Original V-8 350(fully rebuilt by 2nd owner in 2008 who was a certified GM mechanic at RAMP Chevrolet for 30 years before passing). The only modifications were HEI ignition conversion(no more points to mess with), polished aluminum intake, and headers. The car was to be stripped and repainted after the motor rebuild was completed in 2008(started with pass fender and stopped see pic). The engine turns freely and I am confident it will run and drive fine. I was told by my  mechanic not to start the car without removing the old gas....I was told by others to just start the car.......I will be cautious and NOT start the car. I do know it needs a new battery. The car has been in dry storage in the garage since to 2008 to present day. The car has a new black power top with glass rear window, the inner liner of the top is perfect and the frame skeleton is clean(may have been restored). The car has tinted windows from factory and all glass is clean. The pinch molding around the rear deck is spotless and excellent shape, the A-pillar front windshield moldings are spotless and shine as new, the convertible top bow is in mint condition with original leather wrapping intact(no rust, no bubbles..... very clean). The car has all its original panels. The floors, frame and trunk pan are original and solid(see pics).The  original color combo from factory on cowl tag which reads paint code 75 cranberry red is very desirable with the black interior and top. As you can see from the pics the pass fender was taken down to metal and headlight extensions with grill were removed(assuming this was where the resto was started and stopped by the mechanic who was in the process of restoring the exterior of car before he passed). All the parts mentioned are included. The front bumper is missing. I may be able to locate it and if I do It will be included...if the widow who sold me the car cant find it you can locate one on ebay for $75 or brand new repro for $150 in mint ready to use shape(see NPD National Parts Depot). This is a nice solid car that can be used as is or finished to whatever level your wife will let you...lol. The car has never been hit. My mechanic looked over the car and had nothing bad to say. I am not asking a lot for the car.Feel free to call with offers if you are serious. Its offered for sale in my local area and I may end  auction early. All are welcome to inspect car before auction end. The car is sold in used as is condition. All international bidders welcome. I will assist and store car in garage until pick up, but transport payment and planning are the buyers responsibility. I will gladly assist with shipper contact if need. I am retired Police Officer....so I have some time on my hand and glad to help if I can. If the car does not sell I will put a bumper on the car and enjoy it this summer. I have a clear title/NY reg ready to transfer to new owner Please feel free to call me with any questions. 631-943-9107 Thank you. First fair offer gets the car.

GM takes 2020 full-size pickup sales crown

Thu, Jan 7 2021

It's no secret that 2020 was an unconventional year for auto sales. Extenuating circumstances or not, it was a year of upheaval even for ever-resilient (and ever-profitable) pickups, with General Motors taking the crown from Ford in the full-size segment.  The Ford F-Series still outsold every other full-size pickup nameplate in the country by a significant margin. It's only when you combine GM's Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra variants that you get a number that exceeds Ford's. This isn't really a new phenomenon, either. In fact, it was only somewhat recently that Ford took the overall full-size crown away from GM, and not only did Ford widen the gap in recent years, but Ram has once again become a legitimate challenger, even managing to outsell the Silverado by a healthy margin in 2019, but never coming close to the F-Series in terms of total volume.  But, 2020 being 2020, things got weird yet again. Ram remains relevant, of course, but Ford got caught with its pants down thanks to the one-two punch of COVID and the generational changeover of the core F-150 model, which resulted in a production interruption as the company's assembly facilities transitioned from building the old 2020 model to the new-for-2021. This perfect storm, as it turns out, was sufficient for GM to walk away with the full-size crown. See for yourself: Full-size 2020 pickup sales: GM total: 847,110 F-Series: 787,422 Silverado: 594,094 Ram: 563,676 Sierra: 253,016 Tundra: 109,203 Titan: 26,439 As you can see, Ram slipped back behind Silverado, slotting comfortably into third place. The Silverado 1500 had a flat year, but the heavy- and medium-duty variants bucked the trend and contributed to a slight uptick in sales for the nameplate, while F-Series tumbled more than 12% (nearly 110,000 units), opening the door for GM to steam ahead.  There were similarly significant shakeups in the midsize truck segment. First, 2020 was the first full year of retail sales for the Gladiator pickup, which surged to fourth place behind the stalwart Tacoma, Ranger and Colorado. GM's combined sales of the Colorado and Canyon are good enough for second place by manufacturer, but nowhere close to what it would take to dethrone Toyota.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
