I am offering for sale a 1961 convertible Chevrolet Corvette. The color of the car is Jewel Blue and only 855 of the 10800 produced this year were this color. The exterior of the car has the original paint job and is in fair condition. There are some scratches and defects in the paint but the paint is in surprisingly good shape to be vintage. The car has both the original hard top and the soft top. The interior is black and blue but is not the original interior.
The car is a convertible and is equipped with both tops. It is also equipped with the original AM radio and the dash has not been molested and is in good shape. All of the gauges are real glass and work except for the gas, clock, and radio. The engine and brakes were rebuilt in June 2013, and I have the receipts for the work. The car is running and is drivable.
The car was purchased in 1983 from the original owner and was stored in a metal building from 1983 until 2013. The odometer is showing 23,999 miles and I was told is the correct mileage. Since being purchased, I have rebuilt the engine, all of the brake system, and the fuel system. All of the fluids have been changed and all of the lights are in working order. The car is running and can be driven.
The car is located in Guntown, Mississippi and can be shown by appointment. My number is 662 871-9299 if you have any specific questions concerning the item. The car is being sold "as is, where is," and no written, verbal, or implied warranty exist. The car is being offered locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION and feedback will be left on the buyer.
Payment terms, $500.00 US dollars are to be sent via paypal within 48 hours of the closing of the Auction. The balance of the Bid is due in CASH when the item is picked up. I have purchased and sold many cars on line and I am experienced in the closing process.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a Corvette enthusiast to own a rare piece of automobile history and a beautiful piece of artwork. Good luck bidders.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
