Here is my 66 real deal Super Sport.  I bought this car about 15 yrs ago and stored it until restoration time 8yrs ago.   The car was made in Fremont California and was ordered with several options that most Super Sports do not have. During the restoration we determined that it was originally equipped with a black vinyl top and automatic.  The change to a 4spd was done exceptionally well, with correct tunnel support, pedals, linkage, clips etc. Other changes that were observed was a left rear quarter panel and drivers door replacement on the body, again done with professional results even down to the spot welds. It appears that it was hit early on in its life as the car has zero rust with super sano floors and trunk .  I also believe it to be have very low miles on it due to the condition of the A-Arm bushings, body mounts and other items that were removed for restoration. I purchased the car with its original A/C equipment, door panels, seats and carpet which I retained for date coding and authenticity.  It did not have an engine at purchase, so a 1966 Impala 396 complete engine, carb to pan with matching date codes for production was purchased and completely rebuilt.  The purchaser will get all the original items removed.  I also have pictures as purchased and during the restoration.  The car has A/C,PS,PB, PW,factory bumper guards not replated, factory air shocks original Delco, Headrest seats, and console.  The car has been stored in a heated/A/C garage since restoration with break in miles only. Where ever paint markings could be seen they were replicated.  It has new:

* exhaust

* full polygraphite A-arm bushings, sway bar, etc.

* new springs, shocks, universal joints, body mounts,

* the car retains its original factory brake lines, gas lines and clips did not restored or replaced.

* Engine, trans, clutch, rear gears 3:70 posi all new or rebuilt to exacting specifications

* All new Sofseal weatherstrips  

* New carpet, door panels, headliner, seat covers with original unrestored headrests, headliner with original

  sunvisors.

* Replated front and rear bumpers, bumper guards are original, hood scoop chrome is original

*Complete new brakes, including cylinders, lining, springs, clips etc.

 The car has been stored for several years, yet has been street driven during its rest with engine and drivetrain to full operating temps on a regular basis.   The engine has excellent oil pressure, the heads have hardened seats, starts and drives excellent with stock power brakes.  I did notice the power windows are a little slow from sitting, radio is not hooked up, has small stereo radio in glove box.Paint was done to replicate factory new in base clear coat  so it is not over restored. Vehicle is for sale locally, so I retain the right to remove this listing at anytime. Questions?? Let me know. Thanks for your bid.

Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo could only work in a video game [w/video]

Thu, Nov 20 2014

There's something wondrous about the Vision Gran Turismo series of concepts that has let companies go wild with completely imaginary concepts for Gran Turismo. For Chevrolet's crack at the idea, it has taken a page out of its performance past with the Chaparral Can-Am racers of the '60s and '70s, with its designers having reinterpreted that period look for the future of motorsports as the Chaparral 2X. In real life, the 2X looks even better than in earlier photos. The design takes inspiration from someone in a flying suit with head down and arms outstretched, an influence you can really see that in the vehicle's shape. The driver lies facedown inside with the instruments projected onto a visor. Unfortunately, the powertrain here is a complete flight of fancy and works purely in the video game world. It imagines a laser propelled by lithium-ion batteries and an air-powered generation to make 900 horsepower. The 2X has a theoretical top speed of 240 miles per hour and hits 60 mph in a lightning-quick 1.5 seconds. Scroll down to see the concept on video with Chevrolet designers describing their inspiration and read the company's full announcement. It's also downloadable in Gran Turismo 6. Chevrolet to Show Chaparral Vision Gran Turismo Concept Boundary-pushing, Chevy-powered race cars changed motorsports design DETROIT – When racers Jim Hall and Hap Sharp founded Chaparral Cars in 1962, few could have guessed how they would shake up the conformities of the racing world – and fundamentally change it. Through pioneering applications of aerodynamics and aerospace technology, and a partnership with Chevrolet Research and Development, Chaparral Cars advanced the science of racing cars. It also triumphed on the track over well-established sports car companies from around the world, using Chevrolet horsepower. It was that spirit of innovation that inspired the Chevrolet Chaparral 2X VGT concept race car developed for the Vision Gran Turismo project, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of PlayStation® racing game Gran Turismo by inviting manufacturers to give fans a glimpse into the future of automotive design. It will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Nov. 19, and gamers will be able race the Chaparral 2X VGT following the release of an online update for Gran Turismo 6 during the holiday season.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
