1973 Corvette Stingray. 52,707 original miles. This car has been in my family for over 35 years. Vehicle is numbers matching. Motor has been rebuilt. Bored 30 over with a comp cam. performer intake and roller rockers. Fresh engine has about 2000 miles on it and runs very strong like a Vette should. I have the original intake, valve covers, A/C compressor and smog pump that came on the car. These items will go with the car. Although the car looks great in the photos it does need a paint job and some interior trim to restored back to her glory. Currently a daily driver for me due to some rough times. It was my intention to restore her completely and make her a show piece. Sadly I am not able to do so. So for sale she is.

A considerable amount of work has been done to this Vette. I will start with listing what has been replaced and then I will list what she needs.

Within the last 3000 miles .All items were new or rebuilt. Items marked GM were new out of the box GM parts. AC delco parts were new. Ecklers parts were new or rebuilt. 
Engine rebuilt
 Radiator (ac delco), fuel tank (ecklers), fuel meter (ecklers), fuel pump (ac delco), starter motor (ac delco), upper and lower control arms (ecklers), front springs (ecklers), front shocks (ac delco), steering damper (ecklers), side pipe exhaust (GM), tires (BF Goodrich), brakes (ecklers) including new stainless sleeved calipers on all 4 wheels. Rear bumpers (GM) . Front bumper (GM). stingray emblems (GM). leather seat covers (ecklers). new seat bottom and back cushions. (ecklers).  Rear license plate bezel (GM). tack cable (GM). Sill plates (GM) 
Transmission and rear was drained and filled with GM synthetic gear oil. New Ram clutch and pressure plate.

Dash and center console is in great condition. No tears or anything. Seat covers are new. Original radio works fine but the speakers are not hooked up to it.
  All gauges work except for the speedometer. ( needs cable) and the fuel gauge works intermittent. Power windows work fine but the drivers switch needs to be replaced.

Carb needs to be rebuilt. Only because its hard to start first thing in the morning. Fuel bowls leak down over night. I'm told this is common for these older Q-jets. After the first start she fires up all day immediatly. Its only a matter of the fuel getting into the engine on the entail start.

Headlamps are slow to pop up.

Interior needs door panels, carpet and some minor TLC. Weathersrtips are original and should be replaced. 

Exterior will need a comeplete paint job,(paint is pealing off) Side pipe covers ( plating is bubbling and pealing off) and rear luggage rack(minor surface rust spots) and rear fuel door emblem (sun fade).

Body lines and seams are perfect. This vehicle was repainted some 25 years ago and parked in the garage. It was my fathers car. He gave me the car to finish. As we pulled the cover off the car we noticed bubbles popping in the paint . After driving it and the vehicle being out in the sun it has started some major pealing all over the car. 

This is a really tight Corvette. Runs and drives great. A paint job and some trim and a little TLC away from being a real classic. This is a great numbers matching almost all original Corvette. People are constantly telling me what a beautiful car she is. A day does not go by with some kind of Wow! from some passer by. 

I have tried to list everything I could on the car. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition

Sat, Dec 13 2014

To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:
