I'm selling my 1961 corvette project, would make a good beater driver with some work or fix up, restore.. Not numbers matching, motor is locked up and shot, rusted frozen hunk of metal. Trans may also be shot, no idea. Sat for years. Front passenger side frame rail has damage but is fine for a driver. Was driven 20 years ago like that. ( I found they sell the rail new and can be replaced if you want to do a frame off) Nose has lots of old  fiberglass damage, Inner fenders cut out in spots as last owner was thinking of adding side headers and side pipes. It has a big block style very old after market hood. Rear quarters where cut years ago for big tires. I have repair quarter panels that go about 8 inches around rear wheel wells and the bonding strips, front head light repair strips for top front of fenders. Included is a complete extra front bolt in frame unit  with control arms etc, It came from a running driving car with brakes , lines etc. Both soft top frame assembly ( think I am missing one small soft to bracket where the top bolts to body....other side has it.  and  hard top included, both need to be restored. Missing a door panel. I have the complete seats, seat cushions frames have much rust on the bars, covers are vintage hot rod look, in black, could use but will need a good cleaning, Inside car, rust on a pillars, pass door shuts fine, drivers not to bad, have most dash parts may be missing some things, no dash pad ( hole cut by side of shifter edge on tunnel, have tach speedo and gauges, have old but rusty gas tank( would buy new) have gas tank deck cover, drive shaft, trans is still in car, 4 speed, do not have the shifter , have all bumpers front and back.

. There are a couple ways to go with this car, Buy a complete modern chassis to make a resto rod....great investment if you watch barret jackson and watched the prices, or put is a running motor etc and do a bit of glass work and make a fun driver. Car is an original Jewel Blue car. Clear title in my name and have the original vin plate from steering column ( an other great GM idea) They fall off and this did to and I have it in a envelope with title. Great project. $23,000.reserve Sorry price is firm. In a few more weeks I will start getting the car road worthy and keep it for the summer.

If you hate this car, same your emails, As I hate it to, yes they are worthless to you I know this already, I do not care , yes this is a ugly, shot, beat up, worthless junk that is still what is left of a 1961 corvette and some people can fix up cars in their own garage and say they did work themselves. Sorry I guess I am so old now that I remember people that could fix up cars like this.  Then again some have more money and can pay the rate and will have more in the car than worth. I am even telling you don't buy fix up junks like this if you can't work on a car. Buy new and make payments.. This vette will need lots of  work. And I have a title in my name. This is a great start, to own a nice driver ( beater corvette) car for a cheap price.

Now, dealers, If you have corvettes like this for sale for 10,000 to 15, 0000. Please all you corvette dealers call me and I would buy them from you. Yes I have cash in hand. Funny how that is. All the dealers are calling telling me how many cars they have? My car is junk... Yes I already told you that.  Why are you still looking for more junks? Because just like you say you buy so many restored cars like this for $25.000. If you do, you are very lucky and keep buying them it helps the economy.  Please save your low ball offers. I do not need the money, I could use the space.  TV show restored cars that is the way to go, no one wants to fix up and drive a car they can work on.  Si if you want a nice project bid or email a phone number. I'm sorry emails  with out phone numbers will not be returned.  I am also not showing the car as it is in storage.

Last the wheels that are on the car are owned by a friend and are not included in the sale of the car. If you want to buy them I could ask him.

Pickup with in 10 days or car will be resold. Payment will be cash in hand. And only cash in hand. Title will be filled out with new buyers name. No deposit needed as it is just more worthless paper work. You other want to come pay for the car or your do not.

Remember you do not want this car it needs to much work and really is pretty much worthless as I have been told by expert corvette people, that still want to buy my car but for less so they can resell it and once they own it it will be transformed into gee a 1961 corvette... worth more.  But I still want $23000. LOL

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
