1961 corvette, the car is for the most part is complete. This was a old gasser race car when I got it, the original frame had been cut, welded and modified so it was replaced with a very nice complete, straight and rust free frame from 1960 corvette that was sanded blasted and painted about 12 years ago. The straight axel frontend from the gasser frame is under it now, but bolts up using the factory front cross member holes, no modifications to the frame. I will be putting the factory front cross member under this week. The rearend is a stock 1961 corvette with 336 grears. There is a couple of steering columns and boxes, one has a 1962 vin tag that is free and clear and there is also a vin # on the frame for a 1960 corvette that is clear also, but I do not have titles to anything will sale with a notorized bill of sale.
The body is nice, has some very light damaged spots here and there but over all very nice complete body. This car would be great to restore or a modified corvette with new running gear. I have a 1962 327 and a 4 speed both will need rebuilding.
The seats are complete with tracks but will need work. The hood has had some repairs and usable but I would put new skin on it or replace it. bumbers need to be rechromed. Some of the side trim will need replacing. None of the glass is good, the chrome around glass is is good condition. Doors are complete and nice. This would be a very easy car to do for someone that is on a budget and had some time. I will have this rolling and will steer for shipping.
This car is for sale locally and can end auction at any time. If you have questions you can call Tom at 253 405 9131

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
