1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe. I am a private individual who loves Corvettes and just happened to stumble upon the 63. I purchased it not really knowing too much about the numbers correct stuff - I just loved the car. The seller owned the car for over 30 plus years and told me the car was virtually unmolested with the exception of a paint color change sometime in the 1980's. Upon purchasing it, I had a professional Corvette shop go through it to find out it was all numbers correct on the engine and transmission, however it had a different newer rear in it. The also checked the body and bonding strips and could not find any remnants of any body damage. They believe it was never hit. They checked the frame and suspension and felt the car was in remarkable condition for its age. The block casting numbers are 3782870 and the pad is stamped with the partial VIN as shown in the pic.
The car has the highly sought after 4 speed 340 horsepower drivetrain. It runs and drives amazing for its age. It seems to have a bit of an aggressive cam as it has a nice lope. I spent around $2000 plus on getting it running and driving great last year after sitting for a about a 2 years as I initially did not have it registered. The car is fully registered and titled in my name. The mileage is 74019 and is showing actual mileage on the title and the previous owner stated he put very few miles on it during his 30 plus year of ownership.
I have been told the car was originally riverside red with a black interior. I was told it was painted sometime in the 1980's. There are some minor cracks and chips around the paint, but it still shows beautifully for its age. It is almost too nice to repaint - so I just left it alone.
Mechanically, I had the fuel pump rebuilt, a new water pump installed, new GM reproduction hoses and belt replaced, all wheel bearings and brakes checked and some parts replaced, new battery, oil and filter change, carburetor rebuild and calibration and new points and plugs and wires. I also had the fluids flushed and changed. The car does not run hot even in standing traffic. All lights work and wipers - the turn signal sticks sometimes and should likely be addressed down the road. All gauges work including the clock - I have not checked the time, but it does run. Someone changed the radio to a cassette deck long ago - I have the original radio from the car that will come with the car. I was told the wheels were a high quality aftermarket and I have a spare 5th wheel and tire that matches the car and will be included in the sale. I have a bunch of parts to include in the sale including parts that came off the car over the years when something was replaced.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
