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

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning

Sat, Feb 2 2019

According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.
