HERE WE HAVE A VERY NICE, RUST FREE, 1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THIS BEAUTY IS ALL ORIGINAL AND NUMBERS MATCHING 283 / AUTO. THE AUTOMATIC CARS ARE HARD TO FIND. I LOOKED FOR A WHILE FOR THIS ONE, SO MY WIFE COULD GET IN IT ANYTIME, AND DRIVE WITHOUT HASSLE. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED AT SOME POINT LONG AGO. THE PAINT LOOKS GOOD, BUT DOES HAVE SOME BLEMISHES WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP, WEATHER STRIPPING, DASH PAD, AND WINDSHIELD WERE REPLACED IN 2004, AND STILL LOOK NEW. I INSTALLED A CORRECT LOOKING RADIO WITH USB PORT. THE ORIGINAL RADIO WAS REMOVED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE CAR. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED 11/11. OTHER THAN THAT THIS CAR IS PRETTY MUCH THE WAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY IN 1961. SHE HAS CLOCKED 77,990 MILES. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE HEATED AND COOLED GARAGE, I DROVE IT ON A 1800 MILE TRIP WITH THE TOP DOWN AND WITH ZERO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A TIRE ISSUE. SHE GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF COKER W.W.W. AND AN ALIGNMENT AS SOON AS I GOT HOME. SHE DIDN'T USE ANY OIL EITHER. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK. THE TACH WAS MAKING NOISE, SO I DISCONNECTED THE CABLE UNDER THE HOOD. PROBABLY NEEDS REBUILT. THE CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY. THE HEATER WORKS GOOD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TROUBLE FREE C-2 VETTE, THAT YOU CAN GET IN AND GO TO THE LOCAL CRUISE IN, DINNER, OR A ROAD TRIP, THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR. SHE IS NOT A SHOW QUEEN, BUT I GET LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS, AND THUMBS UP EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I WOULDNT BE ASHAMED AT A LOCAL SHOW EITHER. I WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE. SHE GETS 17 MPG TOO. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR NEED A SPECIFIC PICTURE, FEEL FREE TO ASK. I WOULD ONLY BE INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR SOME TYPE OF RESTO ROD WITH SEATING FOR 4 (PREFER GM). NO PROJECTS. I DON'T NEED ANY MORE BOATS, ATV'S, CAMPERS, HARLEYS. I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF SELLING THIS CAR, BUT A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY HAS MADE IT A COLLECTOR'S PIECE, AND I WANT TO DRIVE MY MACHINES. THANKS

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
