1958 Chevrolet corvette-I am the second owner- this was a one owner car that was bought new in September of 1958 in Chicago by a man who lived in kalamazoo Michigan- he wanted a 58 as the 59's were out and he wanted a white with red interior car with the chrome spears on the decklid- Chicago was the only place he could find one. he drove it around Michigan until 1966 when it was parked outside for a year and they moved to the Cincinnati area. . the next year (1967) they brought it back to cincy and parked it in the barn where it sat for the next 46 years. while it sat outside in Michigan a tree limb punctured the convertible top and the interior suffered some minor damage and wear. when it was brought home to the new place the right rear bumperette was jammed in to the fiberglass below the trunk when it was run into a beam in the barn (easy fix) this is the only damage to the body. in 1977 the son rebuilt the motor in it but never took it out to drive.. the block was replaced by Chevrolet the second winter cause of lack of anti-freeze letting it freeze up and crack. it has a 1961 replacement block in it- the 2x4's setup(245 horse) was stolen off of it sometime in the year s between 1999 and 2003. so was the distributor and valve covers.it now has an old edelbrock intake and 600 holley and a chev distributor w/pertronix guts and stagger bolt vette valve covers- the car still retains its original 3 speed and it has a posi rear end (ratio unknown) it has the factory radiator but I did have a new core put in it last year.i always wanted a straight axle early vette and I felt this was the one to do it to. the car could be restored but then its just another boring stocker for the vette people to pick apart- the body and gaps and fit of the car is really nice- the straight axle is a jokerr fabricating item and uses the stock 58 spindles and brakes which are all new and rebuilt with all new lines and dual master cylinder. it has a vega steering box and actually drives nice and rides decent (drives better than stock front end) I didn't do anything underneath from the cowl back so it is still crusty and has cob webs and stuff but that is the way I intended. you can park this car next to a ncrs concourse vette and its gonna piss off the owner of it when they are leanin on his car to look at this one. its dirty and paint fallin off but that's why I did it as you cant buy or produce patina like this- this is by the way the original paint on the car- the interior is original except the seat cushions were shot so these are redone on foam- the springs were shot- I have material to do the backrests if needed.-fuel-amp-oil pressure gauges work- tach doesn't(needs new cable) and speedo is noisy but works (needs greased??)heater is in it- disconnected ?? car is a factory radio delete so it has the original delete plate and no ignition shielding- it has a 58 hardtop but it has a 59 rear glass in it and the soft top framework is in under the deck- it has no canvas as I removed it- it does fold ok the trunk has no latch and the hood support is missing and the cables for the hood releases are froze up . it has no emergency brake- the turn signals don't work- the horn works the relay but the horn doesn't blow- hi beams have old t-3 bulbs but they don't work- running and brake lights are ok this car runs and drives fine - I think it needs a wild ass motor in it but I kind of like it as is. the fenderwell headers exit through turbo mufflers that exit at the rear end housing .the wheels are rare American racing t-70's 15x8 rears and the fronts are 15x7 narrowed to 15x5's w/ bf Goodrich radial tires(not period correct but it sure drives good) (I will take $ 1500 .00 less for the car minus wheels and tires) I have copys of the original title and the family transfer title , and the one to me all dating back to new. also available are all the parts taken off and this car could easily be restored back to original by removing 4 welded (to frame) brackets on the front end. ive tried to be as honest about the workings and non workings of the car as I don't like surprises and don't like giving them.. its not perfect but its damn sure cool as it can be. its a real attention grabber and you don't have to worry about a duplicate parking next to you at a cruise in or car show and it is still a 58 corvette. any questions or concerns feel free to call or come and inspect...513-932-1933 or if no answer(no machine) call 513-235-7768 or email at ohiohotrods@embarqmail.com car is sold as is and I reserve right to end auction early as it is for sale locally-- possible PREPAID delivery within 400 miles of Lebanon, ohio CALL FIRST AND ASK -- NO TEXTS |

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

2015 Chevy Colorado gets its GearOn before Chicago
Tue, Feb 10 2015Complementing the Chevrolet Silverado Midnight Edition at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show is this, the 2015 Colorado GearOn Edition, which as the name might suggest, takes full advantage of the company's truck accessory catalog. Available on the volume LT trim and in both crew and extended cab varieties and with both the short and long-bed options, the GearOn Edition adds plenty of nifty extras designed to increase the truck's versatility and help accommodate bikes, kayaks and other outdoorsy items. The GearOn bars package, divider package and tie-down rings are supplemented an "EZ" lift and lower tailgate, side steps, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body color grille, and blacked-out Chevy badges. And although it's not specifically called out in the attached press release, the paint on this special edition looks different than anything else in the truck's catalog. We dig it, especially with the black accents. Prices, meanwhile, start at $31,250, which is not even $1,200 more than a Colorado Extended Cab LT 4x4. We'll have more on the Colorado GearOn when it makes its debut later this week at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show, including live images to add to the pair of stocks distributed by Chevy. Until then, scroll down for the press release on the limited-edition truck. Chevy Colorado GearOn™ Edition Brings More Adventure Versatile accessories package maximizes cargo capability; enables more fun DETROIT – Chevrolet today introduced the 2015 Colorado GearOn™ Special Edition, which blends the capability of the all-new midsize pickup truck with the versatility of the GearOn accessory system – and additional popular features. It makes its public debut Feb. 13-22 at the Chicago Auto Show. The Colorado GearOn Special Edition goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $31,250. It's offered on LT models in extended or crew cab configurations, with the long or short cargo bed and available 4WD. "Chevrolet Colorado answers the call for customers who have passions of all types and the GearOn accessory system enables them to bring more adventure wherever they go," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager. "And with Colorado offering segment-leading efficiency and capabilities, it's a combination that maximizes adventure without compromise." The GearOn accessory system is designed for easy configuration with a multitude of mounting accessories for everything from bikes, kayaks, skis and stand-up paddle boards to a bed-mounted tent.
