This is truly one of the finest 57s around. I owned one two years ago that cost over 125k to build and made the cover of cruisin style mag. and was featured in the feb 2010 issue and this cars puts it to shame. Not that good with a compter, I dont know how to do all the color line items and all the fancy stuff people do with them so this will be plain and simple and Iam sure I will forget a lot of stuff that the car has on it. I will start by saying I reserve the right to end the auction early as I will be putting a sign on it this weekend and may sell it locally. According to the man who built it it was a factory PB,PS,power antenna, factory air and padded dash car.It was finished in 2008 and has 1800 miles on it since build. It had never been washed unit I bought it, its just that kind of car. The bottom of the car looks like the top. This car was like new before the ever started the build but thet wanted something special. This car was dipped in Jackson ms. but not your normal acid dip. The process on the car is called an It electro-alkaline dip. This this the straightest 57 I have ever seen and I have owned a lot of them(17) I dont know if Iam crazy or stupid but the number is true and I have seen hundreds more.All the stainless trim except for a couple pieces and bumpers are supposed to be orginal. Starting with the engine its a tune port injected 350 out of a 89 corvette (22mpg) with alum. heads and late model manifolds. It has a built 700 R-4 with a later model GM Dana positraction with low 3 some gears, I think its a 308. It has 4 wheel power disc brakes. Has a huge Griffin with dual fan cooling system, battery is mounted in the trunk. It has front and rear sway bars, all stock new suspension. The interior is done in a fawn colored glove leather. I has never felt leather this soft. All the inside window trim and upper arm rest is all done in leather. The car has an Ididit column,vitage air which run throught the console to the rear, padded dash,power antenna, power windows,raingear wiper system with squirters, column shifter, radio is a piece of junk but it plays (cassette). I,am having trouble loading pictures to if you need to see more email hookhorn@msn.com . Trunk is aslo done in leather. This is a car you can drive across country. it is not a hot rod but dones run strong for what it is. Thanks for looking , please dont ask for resverve but you can make an offer. You may come and inspect and drive the car or send an appraisier at any time with a days notice.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
