A genuine survivor. This car was bought new in Middleton NY and owned by the original owner until he traded it in 1969. The second owner drove it until 1971 when it was stored in a barn. He continued to start the engine regularly and kept it in the barn until 2007 when he sold it. The third owner kept it until 2010 when I purchased it. I have the original owners manual and accessory manual. I also have documentation back to 1969. This is a very nice survivor, the interior is a 9.5 with one button damaged on the rear seat, the upholstery looks like new, the headliner and dash are excellent and the original carpet is very nice. The exterior has some small dents and scratches but no through rust, the car was repainted when traded in 1969 and is lacquer checked, it is very presentable as is. The bumpers are slightly pitted and the rear bumper is sprung in the middle. The floors are solid and have never been repaired. The car is a great driver and needs nothing to be driven anywhere. This car is not a show car but is a very good original unrestored car. The vinyl top is perfect. everything works on this car all the lights in the dash work, it has a factory tach. The speckled paint in the trunk is original, it has the original trunk mat and has an original Goodyear Power Cushion spare tire. Two of the four headlight are original. It has a 283, 3 speed standard on the column with overdrive. The engine has never been apart and runs excellent, it uses a small amount of oil but doesn't smoke. It has duel flowmasters, new brakes all the way around including hardware and wheel cylinders. It has all new springs, shocks, completely refurbished front end, new tires, NOS corvette 15" wheels, all the original parts come with it.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
