1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe. I am a private individual who loves Corvettes and just happened to stumble upon the 63. I purchased it not really knowing too much about the numbers correct stuff - I just loved the car. The seller owned the car for over 30 plus years and told me the car was virtually unmolested with the exception of a paint color change sometime in the 1980's. Upon purchasing it, I had a professional Corvette shop go through it to find out it was all numbers correct on the engine and transmission, however it had a different newer rear in it. The also checked the body and bonding strips and could not find any remnants of any body damage. They believe it was never hit. They checked the frame and suspension and felt the car was in remarkable condition for its age. The block casting numbers are 3782870 and the pad is stamped with the partial VIN as shown in the pic.
The car has the highly sought after 4 speed 340 horsepower drivetrain. It runs and drives amazing for its age. It seems to have a bit of an aggressive cam as it has a nice lope. I spent around $2000 plus on getting it running and driving great last year after sitting for a about a 2 years as I initially did not have it registered. The car is fully registered and titled in my name. The mileage is 74019 and is showing actual mileage on the title and the previous owner stated he put very few miles on it during his 30 plus year of ownership.
I have been told the car was originally riverside red with a black interior. I was told it was painted sometime in the 1980's. There are some minor cracks and chips around the paint, but it still shows beautifully for its age. It is almost too nice to repaint - so I just left it alone.
Mechanically, I had the fuel pump rebuilt, a new water pump installed, new GM reproduction hoses and belt replaced, all wheel bearings and brakes checked and some parts replaced, new battery, oil and filter change, carburetor rebuild and calibration and new points and plugs and wires. I also had the fluids flushed and changed. The car does not run hot even in standing traffic. All lights work and wipers - the turn signal sticks sometimes and should likely be addressed down the road. All gauges work including the clock - I have not checked the time, but it does run. Someone changed the radio to a cassette deck long ago - I have the original radio from the car that will come with the car. I was told the wheels were a high quality aftermarket and I have a spare 5th wheel and tire that matches the car and will be included in the sale. I have a bunch of parts to include in the sale including parts that came off the car over the years when something was replaced.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
