I recently purchased this vehicle on a whim believing I could finish it up in no time and have a cool ride. The previous owner spent 2 years getting it to the point that it could be driven, so I was sure it would be no big deal to complete the process. As a 70 year old, you think I would know better! Therefore, it is being offered for sale to someone motivated to follow it through to the finish.. There are many great things to say about the car and I`ll cover those first. The sheet metal is really solid. He took it down to the metal, fixed very few pinholes of rust on the fender dog legs, then sprayed it. When I drove it home, I took a magnet and went over the entire outside and found those lower fender areas the only places the magnet would not hold. There has been a repair to the passenger side rear floorboard, but the rest of the inside and the trunk floor is solid. All in all, this body is in great shape for a 47 year old car. I believe the steel hood is from an SS 396, but I don`t know that for a fact. Regarding the engine, he told me it was a 350. I looked for the stamped code on the passenger side cylinder head pad and found nothing. I then recalled seeing that missing only when a block has been decked, and I believe that was done here. After further inspection, I found two decals on the passenger side of the block indicating it was a Four Star rebuild from Precision Machine in Jacksonville, Fl. It also had a production code, so I`m hoping they can research the number and give me the engine information. I will add that to the description if I am successful. The transmission, I believe, is a Tremac T5 and shifts out fine. I believe the clutch is heavy duty. The rear end appears to be the stock 10 bolt. The wheels are 15" Rally with 215/60/R15 front, and 235/50/R15 rear. All the tires look great. By the way, I asked the previous owner why, after putting so much time and effort into the car, he was selling it. He explained that he had found a tractor he wanted, but had to keep it in the garage, so the car had to go. The car has a new front bumper, new radiator, new fuel tank, new exhaust pipes and mufflers, new door mirrors, new front windshield, and power disc brakes (drum rear). Now, the items needed. It has no headliner, is missing the stock front seats (he bolted some black buckets with tracks out of a VW, I think). There are only a couple of moldings for the windshield and back glass included. It is missing the heater control and radio. It needs carpet, a dash pad (cracked), and the rear parcel shelf cover. I have done my best to describe this car as it sits and apologize in advance if I have overlooked any important details. I feel I`ve put a very reasonable reserve on the car and know that it has the potential of being a great driver once completed.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
