I am offering for sale a 1961 convertible Chevrolet Corvette. The color of the car is Jewel Blue and only 855 of the 10800 produced this year were this color. The exterior of the car has the original paint job and is in fair condition. There are some scratches and defects in the paint but the paint is in surprisingly good shape to be vintage. The car has both the original hard top and the soft top. The interior is black and blue but is not the original interior.
The car is a convertible and is equipped with both tops. It is also equipped with the original AM radio and the dash has not been molested and is in good shape. All of the gauges are real glass and work except for the gas, clock, and radio. The engine and brakes were rebuilt in June 2013, and I have the receipts for the work. The car is running and is drivable.
The car was purchased in 1983 from the original owner and was stored in a metal building from 1983 until 2013. The odometer is showing 23,999 miles and I was told is the correct mileage. Since being purchased, I have rebuilt the engine, all of the brake system, and the fuel system. All of the fluids have been changed and all of the lights are in working order. The car is running and can be driven.
The car is located in Guntown, Mississippi and can be shown by appointment. My number is 662 871-9299 if you have any specific questions concerning the item. The car is being sold "as is, where is," and no written, verbal, or implied warranty exist. The car is being offered locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION and feedback will be left on the buyer.
Payment terms, $500.00 US dollars are to be sent via paypal within 48 hours of the closing of the Auction. The balance of the Bid is due in CASH when the item is picked up. I have purchased and sold many cars on line and I am experienced in the closing process.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a Corvette enthusiast to own a rare piece of automobile history and a beautiful piece of artwork. Good luck bidders.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk
Mon, Jan 13 2014DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.
