1961 Corvette Convertible. Real time capsule begging for a new life.
Very original body, perfect frame. One of the straightest early Corvettes I've ever seen.
All bonding strips intact. See inner fender well pictures and picture of body below front license plate brackets
showing no repairs or damage to this great condition body. Car was parked due to wiring harness short in the
February 1983 and stored in an airplane hanger in Torrance, CA, ever since. Great candidate for NCRS Top Flight,
Bloomington Gold or restomod requiring very little body work to be perfect and no frame repairs required to this
rust free frame. The frame stencil numbers are still present, and there is absolutely no pitting, scaling or thin
spots on this smooth steel frame. It has the numbers matching original engine, original cast iron powerglide,
original third member, carb tag still on carb, Harrison radiator, original generator.
This may have been a radio delete car as original owner installed an aftermarket radio and antenna more than 30
years ago and there are no ignition shields. I put new tires on it as of 10/2015 as the old tires would no longer
hold air. Original interior is all there and needs to be redone due to age and condition of seat covers and carpet.
Original soft top with great condition rust free frame. Doors shut with one finger, chrome is original and needs to
be done, all stainless is original. Trunk shows no repairs and is missing original jack and wrench. Original trunk
mat is present but is aged and cracked. The only thing I see is a small 1.5" diameter modification done to the
recess area at the end of the jack handle in the trunk that would be an easy fix.
Remember, this car has been parked for almost 33 years. I have not done any cleaning or painting to spruce it up
for the sale. I sort of wiped the dirt off the VIN tag and that's about it. The engine compartment and underside of
the car are just dusty/dirty as seen in the pictures, not even a tint of rust anywhere. The underside and inner
fender wells have had no undercoating sprayed on them which is a big plus when inspecting this car. The vacuum
lines attached to the upper radiator hose were part of a bolt-on California smog device that regulated the vacuum
advance during warm up, was used in the 1970's and was later abandoned. It's interesting that it is still on the
car. This car was part of a large estate sale.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
