1961 corvette, the car is for the most part is complete. This was a old gasser race car when I got it, the original frame had been cut, welded and modified so it was replaced with a very nice complete, straight and rust free frame from 1960 corvette that was sanded blasted and painted about 12 years ago. The straight axel frontend from the gasser frame is under it now, but bolts up using the factory front cross member holes, no modifications to the frame. I will be putting the factory front cross member under this week. The rearend is a stock 1961 corvette with 336 grears. There is a couple of steering columns and boxes, one has a 1962 vin tag that is free and clear and there is also a vin # on the frame for a 1960 corvette that is clear also, but I do not have titles to anything will sale with a notorized bill of sale.
The body is nice, has some very light damaged spots here and there but over all very nice complete body. This car would be great to restore or a modified corvette with new running gear. I have a 1962 327 and a 4 speed both will need rebuilding.
The seats are complete with tracks but will need work. The hood has had some repairs and usable but I would put new skin on it or replace it. bumbers need to be rechromed. Some of the side trim will need replacing. None of the glass is good, the chrome around glass is is good condition. Doors are complete and nice. This would be a very easy car to do for someone that is on a budget and had some time. I will have this rolling and will steer for shipping.
This car is for sale locally and can end auction at any time. If you have questions you can call Tom at 253 405 9131

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
