1961 Corvette Roman red with white coves and black interior. This Corvette is good cosmetic and mechanical
condition. This is a non-matching numbers Corvette, 4 speed and appears to be a real Roman red car. I was told
when I purchased it about 6 years ago that it has a 1969 Camaro 327. The paint is presentable (NOT show quality)
and does have some minor scratches and cracking in some areas. From 5 feet away, it looks great.
The white top is intact and fits nice with a small tear just from being in the down position. When I took the
pictures, I hadn’t had the top up for about 5 years – hence the wrinkles. There is no rush on the frame
(appears to have been well rust proofed when new). Appears to have been be repainted once.
The only problem, which does not affect the driving or handling is that the heater box was/is removed and the
immediate area around the passenger hood latch was re-glassed and done poorly (see pictures). It does not affect
the outside appearance (hood area or cowl or the working of the hood latch. I know the person who had the car
before me and it was done over 20 years ago). I have the heater core parts – they go with the car.
The Carburetor was totally professionally rebuilt, rear end had been rebuilt (likely to change gears to a lower
ratio (believe they are 352 gears)) for cruising, the clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearing were replaced
and the radiator was completely disassembled and re-cored.
I have had a number of Corvettes from the years 1954 to C3’s – most NCRS Top Flight quality cars. I brought
this car to enjoy as a driver. I live in NJ and wouldn’t hesitate to get in the car and drive 1K miles. It is
very reliable and starts immediately. I take the car to Corvette Carlisle with no problems (350 miles). The car
has radial tires on it to improve handling.
I am only selling the car because I will be moving in a year and have other collector cars and motor cycles. The
cost of moving the herd any distance gets expensive. If I don’t sell it, it’s not a big deal to me.
I took 170 picture and will be glad to send you whatever angle or view you would like. If you are in NJ, I would
encourage you to look at the car. I will make every effort to be available.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
