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.

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary

Sun, May 10 2020

After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.   Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.

GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019

Tue, Nov 6 2018

As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06s en route to owners [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

Pretty much right on schedule, Chevrolet has begun shipping the very first customer examples of its 650-horsepower, supercharged Corvette Z06. In fact, according to General Motors, the earliest Z06s could be in customer hands by the end of this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, manager of Chevy's Bowling Green Assembly plant. "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." Prices for the Z06 start at $78,995 for the hardtop model, while the first-ever Z06 Convertible kicks off at $83,995. Take a look below for the official press release from Chevrolet, and while you're down there, we've slipped in a new video of Corvette Racing's Tommy Milner taking a hot lap of Road Atlanta in a Z06, complete with some Performance Data Recorder footage. First 2015 Corvette Z06s on Their Way to Customers Most capable model in Chevrolet's history now shipping from Bowling Green BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Chevrolet is now shipping the all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 coupe from Bowling Green Assembly and some early customers could receive the much-anticipated supercar later this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, plant manager of General Motors' Bowling Green Assembly plant, "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." The new Corvette Z06 offers the most choice for customers in the model's history. It is the first Z06 to offer an available eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and, thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel. In addition, it is the first time since 1963 that the Z06 is available as a convertible – which will arrive in early 2015. The new LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 horsepower (485 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm) at 3,600 rpm – making the 2015 Corvette Z06 the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the United States. To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages a trio of advanced technologies – direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing –with a new, more efficient supercharger. The LT4 helps make the Corvette Z06 the most capable car in the brand's history.
