Frame Off 1967 Marlboro Maroon Corvette Coupe 427/390 w/ "4 Season" Factory AC







This is the real deal, and a real opportunity to own a real classic that been meticulously restored to its original glory.  I cannot express the thrill of turning the key and firing up the big block 427, or the torque as the clutch is released and the gas pedal is pressed down – nothing I can do could create that rush but I will try to link a YouTube video so you can at least hear it.

The car is near perfect – and it is without doubt the cleanest one I have ever seen and while it has never been shown or judged to prove its excellence and presence, at least when you do and it does win the trophies, ribbons, plaques and certificates it will all be YOURS and not someone else’s!! 

This color is near impossible to photograph and capture it’s true essence as it changes in different light and the time of day but the clear coat is deep and shiny like the chrome. This frame off restoration of this Texas car was completed in 1993 with the coachwork done by Bob’s Big Boys Toys in Victoria Texas and the machine work completed by Dave at the vintage experts in Austin Texas with “The Cylinder Head Shop”.

The reality of offering this magnificent car here on eBay is to get lots of visibility – and start any dialogue, questions and answers and provide documentation and more pictures and of course  inspections.  It is not our intention to create a museum quality advertisement or educate everyone on the history of the Corvette or how rare or special this last year of the C2 is and how rare the combination of options from the factory are – if you know these cars you will know what you want to see and what questions you want answered.

Regardless, I have included some key pictures below that can be enlarged in groups of about 24 that capture many highlights of the perfection to detail and quality of the finish that puts this car in the hunt as a true find and treasure.  The current owner is my close personal friend as was the previous owner his brother who is no longer with us.   I have known them for 30 years, and you will learn of the roots in Texas history that this car came from all the way back to the original owner that did not make it home while serving his country in Vietnam.  Yes, kind of like a Private Malone story.

In addition I think it goes without saying that we have all the pre and post restoration pictures and receipts that I have tried to attach below in the eBay listing but will also provide a link on shutterfly.  The title is here and clean, the original owners manual and build sheet, all the receipts with details on the parts and machine work done and more.  All the numbers match on this car with over $30,000 in receipts in 1992 and only 100 miles since.  The engine was removed and rebuilt (details available) and the factory options both common and rare and included

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
