Buy this Total Frame Off Nut & Bolt Quality Restoration for 50 cents on the dollar. Car is a 40K mile California car that has been owned for the last 30 years by a local TV Personalality who had the car totally restored by a local high quality shop (Customs & Classics). I have numersous photos (100) of the restoration process. The car was finished in 2002 and has been kept in indoor heated garage with approximately 100 miles on it since the restoration. The 283 and Power Glide have been replaced by a ZZ4 Aluminum Headed 350 Crate Motor and a B&M Turbo 350 Conversion. To enter this car in the 2013 World Of Wheels Auto-Rama I had the seats redone (the seats that were in the car were done in the wrong grain - incorrect for the car, I also replaced the Rally Wheels with new Crager SS's & BF Goodrich TA's (the new Rallys with Caps and Rings and new 14" Firestones will go with the car if you want the stock look). The car won Best Of Class in the 2013 World of Wheels Auto-ama - it is a very good looking car, runs and drives better than it did off the showroom floor. The restoration really was done right - (to the tune of $70,000). I bought this car because it is so nice but recent medical expences force me to sell the car - major heart attack and wife says it needs to go to help pay the medical bills. If you have any questions or want me to email additional pictures feel free to give me a call. I also am listing the car locally, so the ad could be pulled at any time. If you are at all interested don't let this one get away - you won't be sorry, it is a very very nice car. Call John @ 801-455-8146 anytime

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just 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 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
