I've owned it since 2000, since then I have:

New seals and gaskets on rear axle, 3.36 open differential..a set of 4.11 gears and a posi unit come with car. New leaf springs
Engine is a 76 Impala 350, since that was the height of the smog years,, the compression ratio was only 8.5:1, so I reworked a set of 305 heads with better valves and valve springs, raisng the compression to about 10:1..it runs fine on regular, but I use premium. Has an Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold, Carter AFB, Accel distributor and MSD 6AL box..stock exhaust manifolds with glass packs and dual exhaust

Raingear wipers
Old Air air conditioning/heater/defrost
AM/FM/Cassette w/new front speaker, I ran the wires for rear speakers, but haven't installed them, yet.
Coated the floor with Por15 before installing heat/soundproofing and new carpet
Replaced the cloth on the seats and door panels, vinyl was OK, so I re-used it
Door and Weather stripping is new, rebuilt vent windows
New wiring from dash to taillights
5 new tires
I'm to the point of doing the body work and painting it, but I know that will take it off the market for six months, so I'm offering it before I start that work.

Needs inner/outer rocker panels and some of the floor braces replaced

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
