Daytona blue on black vinyl interior.  327/300 HP 4spd manual.  Rare 63 Split Window Stingray Coupe.  Early production car with storage wells under seats. Date code correct engine, see below.  Data plate info--style 63837  trim--std  body--1662  paint--916A


Selling for my dad who has owned it about 15 years.  Great driving, looking car!  Previous owner had all the suspension and brakes done front to back, springs, shocks,trailing arms, bushings, steering linkage, drum brakes.
  
Car was repainted very nicely done prior to that no history on when but still shines great.  no overspray no masking marks door jambs done.  There are a few nicks and scuffs here and there from age and use but they are minor, the car shows very very well.
  
All chrome and stainless trim is in good condition.  Bumpers are nice.  All original glass in excellent condition, windshield is a replacement but also nice.  

Black vinyl interior, believed to be original in good shape.  Carpet definitely looks original and is nice.  Seats also but drivers bottom has a small [2"] split.  Guage bezel is original showing minor patina but is uncracked and compliments the originality of the interior.  Nice console with minor wear on aluminum around shifter nothing major.  We put a new headliner in and resprayed all the surrounding trim years ago.  The headliner has since come unstuck in a spot needs to be re glued, its still perfect and its a plastic replacement so its perfectly reusable. 

Drivetrain is the 327-300Hp 4spd manual.  Starts, runs, drives, stops, steers EXCELLENT.  we pulled the heads due to worn guides a couple years ago and had the heads completely re done new valves, modern valve seals.  At that time did the research on numbers matching or not and have concluded it is not but it IS date code correct for the block, heads, intake.  Block #3782870  K202 [Nov 20 1962]   Heads are 10-1962.  intake # 3866922   the front pass side pad of the block is FI2IOS dont know what that means.  We dont claim to be vette experts but have shown these numbers to one who confirms the date code correctness.  We also painted and detailed the top end when it was apart.  Engine compartment is very nice clean and correct minus the air cleaner and holley carb on it [do have the original carb goes with but not the air cleaner]  

Underneath is pretty clean as well not rusty and crusty, nice solid frame, nice 2 1/2" exhaust with stainless mufflers. Few drips around engine [mostly needs oil pan gasket]  couple on trans and rear end,  just seepage leaks.  Tires are nearly new [couple years but little miles] they have the correct whitewall on the inside facing of car [dad chose the blackwall look with option to turn them around possibilty for originality]  We also did all new u joints on driveshaft and rear half shafts 

This is a solid complete great looking and driving 63. Not a show car but very very NICE car.  I describe things as they are Ive sold many high end cars here and other places and my descriptions are honest and critical.  Have many more pics and can take some of whatever youd like, feel free to contact for questions.  Reserve is quite fair considering what these cars are going for these days, but reserve wont be disclosed, bid what you can afford and feel its worth.  Everything works on it except wipers [needs motor repaired]

$1000 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due within 48hrs after auction ends.  Balance due before car pickup via wire transfer.  Please contact me if you have less than 5 positive feedbacks before bidding.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
