1961 Corvette Convertible. Real time capsule begging for a new life.
Very original body, perfect frame. One of the straightest early Corvettes I've ever seen.
All bonding strips intact. See inner fender well pictures and picture of body below front license plate brackets
showing no repairs or damage to this great condition body. Car was parked due to wiring harness short in the
February 1983 and stored in an airplane hanger in Torrance, CA, ever since. Great candidate for NCRS Top Flight,
Bloomington Gold or restomod requiring very little body work to be perfect and no frame repairs required to this
rust free frame. The frame stencil numbers are still present, and there is absolutely no pitting, scaling or thin
spots on this smooth steel frame. It has the numbers matching original engine, original cast iron powerglide,
original third member, carb tag still on carb, Harrison radiator, original generator.
This may have been a radio delete car as original owner installed an aftermarket radio and antenna more than 30
years ago and there are no ignition shields. I put new tires on it as of 10/2015 as the old tires would no longer
hold air. Original interior is all there and needs to be redone due to age and condition of seat covers and carpet.
Original soft top with great condition rust free frame. Doors shut with one finger, chrome is original and needs to
be done, all stainless is original. Trunk shows no repairs and is missing original jack and wrench. Original trunk
mat is present but is aged and cracked. The only thing I see is a small 1.5" diameter modification done to the
recess area at the end of the jack handle in the trunk that would be an easy fix.
Remember, this car has been parked for almost 33 years. I have not done any cleaning or painting to spruce it up
for the sale. I sort of wiped the dirt off the VIN tag and that's about it. The engine compartment and underside of
the car are just dusty/dirty as seen in the pictures, not even a tint of rust anywhere. The underside and inner
fender wells have had no undercoating sprayed on them which is a big plus when inspecting this car. The vacuum
lines attached to the upper radiator hose were part of a bolt-on California smog device that regulated the vacuum
advance during warm up, was used in the 1970's and was later abandoned. It's interesting that it is still on the
car. This car was part of a large estate sale.

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating

Fri, May 13 2016

This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
