This 64 Roadster was purchased NEW here in Arvada, Colorado by a family friend of ours.  It was owned by the original owner until I purchased the car in 2009.  The miles are a true 28,000 , that was verified by the original owners family and we have known the car for a very long time and  know their real.

The car left the factory as a Ermine white car with blue interior; it was a 375 h.p. Fuelie / 4,speed.  Options included 4.11:1 posi differential, power windows, AM/FM radio and auxiliary hardtop.  Immediatley after purchasing the car Don Connelly (our friend and the original owner) began customizing the car.  It began with lots of chrome under the hood, removing the bumpers, six tail lights and american racing wheels. 

By 65 it had a flaired fenders, custom maroon paint, white tuck and roll interior and side exhaust and was traveling the ISCA show car circuit.  At the time, this was the only real big time competition car show circuit.  The more shows you attended throughout the country the more points your car earned.  The competion was fierce and every season new builds came on the scene.  With this, Don totally changed the car for the 66 ISCA season.

The body was modified even more with the front air scoop, moved the headlights into the grill, side exhaust that went through the fenders, shaved handles, air scoops, loovered hardtop, removeable hood scoop (included)and the rear spoiler.  The original Fuelie was swapped for a crate 427 with weber carbs.  And a new light yellow metallic paint job was completed.  This was the season where the car truly began earning top honors.  The car was always lettered as a Pikes Peek hill climb car, but I dont have any proof it ever ran the race.  Judging by the undercarriage and overall cleanleyness of the car, I dont think it ever saw wet pavement.  It was truly a show car since brand new.

In the 66 and 67 season Don trailered the car to multiple shows where it was featured and competed with George Barris cars and Big Daddy Roth cars.  In its class, it was a winner.  I have a huge box of magazine articles, newspaper clipings, posters, show programs, awards and old photographs of the car.  This was one of the first mid year Corvettes (63-67) to be a full ISCA Show Car and to compete for international honors.  It was described as the only "SHOW STING RAY" of its time.  Not that there were not other show mid year Corvettes, but this car was one of the first and most featured. 

Later in 68, the paint job changed again.  This was the begenning of wild multi color schemes.  It was all candys and fades.  Again winning many shows.  The paint job it curently sports was done in the 1970's.  All lacquer candy with lots of beautiful detail.   I believe this is the best looking paint job it ever got and I think Don stopped modifying the car at just the right time.  

By mid 70's the car was parked and covered in the garage.  Until I purchased the car in 2009 it had not ran for years and years but was well preserved as an amazing time capsole of Customs of the 1960's and 1970's.   I built a 1969 327 "CE" engine for the car with 67 350 HP heads and a 69 Z28 Intake with a Holley carb.  Edelbrock valve covers and air cleaner finished it off as a true "erra correct" motor.  It has old school side pipes that are muffled and look great.  The transmission is the original with the VIN stamp on it and a very nice new clutch and flywheel. 

I have been very cautious to not change much on this car.  I feel its overall condition and look is irreplaceable as an original custom.  It drives like a dream and how you would expect a 28,000 mile car to drive.  Its tight and smooth.  All guages work including the original radio and power windows.  This is not only a great time capsole of an erra we will never see again, but a awesome driver.  It also is a huge head turner, people go nuts at shows for it............especially little kids.   For NCRS sake, i tried very hard to track down the original engine with no luck.  I was told it ended up in a old shop truck that needed a engine.  That was in the late 60's.  The old shop truck has not been seen for decades, so i guess its gone.   I feel the car should stay as it is................

If you have questions please call me at 303 475-4544.  I will listen to offers but please bid.   Thanks for viewing my Corvette.


On Feb-22-13 at 08:26:54 PST, seller added the following information:

The original soft top and frame were removed when the car was first customized, so their gone.  But the original hard top is included with the car and it was painted when the car was painted and matches well.  Its in great shape with the headliner matching the dash pads, chromed trim and three wild scoops on the top of the roof panel.  Trust me.....its cool.  If you look closely at the photo of the front of the car in my garage, you can see the hardtop leaning against the wall.  Ill try to download a photo of it.  

The wheels are the actual wheels that were on the car since 65 and are perfect with no scrapes etc.   The roll bar has a removeable piece that goes from the center of the hoop down to the passenger side floor near the kick panel.  It chromed to match and looks cool, I just have it out for ease of having a passenger. 

I am also getting lots of questions about the overall condition of the paint.  Since it was painted over 40 years ago it has some very minor blemishes.  There are a few small stone chips on the front nose and behind the rear tires, there are several paint chips from sitting in the garage for so long, but these have been touched up and look fine.  There is absoutley ZERO lacquer check.  All of the chrome is very nice and has no pitting, like the tail light housings and vent windows.  All of the vinyl and rubber is nice and soft with no cracks or dry rott.   The seats are the originals (not recovered) and perfect.

I have the title in hand and in my name.

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month

Mon, Mar 31 2014

General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.
