This 1964 Corvette is a nice one. This description will be long and lengthy but needs to be told as this corvette
has had a lot of restoration work done. We have owned this corvette before back in 2000 when the restoration was
done. We sold this actual car in 2001 and have just purchased it back from that same owner for all of these past 15
years. That owner kept the car always inside and preserved well as you can see from the chassis in the photos. It
has been driven regularly (fair weather only) and serviced whether it needed it or not. Only approx. 2,000 miles
have been put on the car since sold back in 2001. The miles shows now 67,458 and although possibly could be actual,
we cannot guarantee them. The corvette is finished in correct riverside red with black interior. The trim tag shows
this as well unlike most cars were they were silver or blue and then changed into red. The car was repainted at the
time of the restoration and was done in base coat clear coat finish. The paint still shines well and is very
presentable. The bonding strips are intact on the car. The trim was all removed when painted. The doors open and
close with ease and shut nicely. The windshield was replaced and all of the stainless trim was polished out nicely.
The windshield rubber was replaced along with the wiper arms. The overall car was done right and still looks as
good as the day it was finished.
Many new correct parts were replaced on the car from Long Island Corvette. This includes new GM front and rear
bumpers, new tail lights, new license plate bezel, license plate light restored, new gas door lid, new rocker
moldings, new door handles, new outside mirror, new emblems, new deck lid latches, new wiper arms, grill was
removed and polished, all bumper brackets were refinished and new hardware installed, new correct Dewitt dated
coded radiator and overflow tank installed in the car, new hoses and correct clamps, heater box removed and
correctly refinished, new heater core, new heater hoses, engine totally stripped down to bare and refinished, new
correct ignition shielding, fan shroud refinished along with all of the pulleys and fan blade, new fan clutch,
radiator support removed and painted, valve covers refinished, all suspension removed and rebuilt on the car
including new tie rod ends, new shocks, a-arms completely removed refinished glossy as they should be and new
bushings installed, new half shafts, driveshaft and rear leaf spring all refinished, new correct gas tank from
Quanta with a new sending unit, rear trailing arms all removed and rebuilt, new brakes, lines, all drum brake
assemblies removed and not only rebuilt but restored nicely, drums blasted and painted, front sway bar refinished,
spare tire compartment restored, all new correct aluminized exhaust system from corvette central with all hangers,
clamps, and heat shields like the originals, new exhaust bezels and extensions, rear end assembly painted a cast
blast to prevent from rusting, new shifter and linkage, oil pan and entire block repainted, just about everything
was refinished on the car to make it look like it does in the photos. The frame was repainted in semi-gloss black
and inspection markings put back on it like from the factory. Underbody has never been undercoated and you can see
just how nice the bare fiberglass floors are in the photos. When the car was restored it was the goal to do it
right with markings and labels. The car does drive nice and tight and shifts smoothly. Plenty of power and the
engine runs out smoothly.
The interior on the car is very nice. The seat covers, carpet, and door panels are all new from Al Knock when
restored. The carpet is fitted like it should with little to no wrinkles, the dash pads are near perfect originals
only redyed to match the rest of the interior, also no evidence of cracks or repairs on them, the console was
restored along with the glovebox door, new glovebox liner and the light does still work, new ash tray and shifter
boot, clock restored with quartz movement, original am/fm radio still works, new rear jack board, new reproduction
style seat belts, instruments all work and are original, gauges are not perfectly fresh but are very presentable
and the odometer still does work, the steering wheel is extremely nice with no splits or cracks, new horn button,
and the list goes on. The convertible softop is white vinyl and does present itself well. The back window is no
discolored and the softop does fit good with the window glass up. The softop however is not perfect and has been on
the car for the past 15 plus years. I personally would not install a new top on the car because it is to good to
redo, however I do have a new softop from Al Knock still in the box that is included with the sale of the car.
There was about $16,000 spent on the car back then not counting the paint job or any labor on the car.
This corvette is restored nicely. No perfect but after looking at what is for sale out there I believe you could
not get one into this condition for what my reserve is. At todays cost and labor to restore a car like this could
easily cost you $50,000 plus the cost of the corvette. You are better off to buy one like this one than to buy a
project car and never see it finished and when you do you end up having $100,000 in it!

327 C.I. V8 250 H.P. Engine (Matching Numbers)
4-Speed Manual Transmission
Positraction Rear Axle

The corvette is a nice example of a 1964 model convertible. Very presentable not only on the top side but
underneath as well. Something that you can show and drive as well. We have driven it about 100 miles since we
purchased the car back. Included with the sale is a portfolio of the car with restoration photos and receipts
showing the chassis dismantled. There is also some title history dating back about 20 years where the car has been
in the southwest part of Missouri the entire time, assembly manual and shop manual, sales brochure, owners manual,
spare tire lock, jack and lead hammer for KO Wheels, new softop still in the box, nice indoor car cover, and some
other information pertaining to this corvette over the past 15+years.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers
Fri, Oct 31 2014If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
