This is a truly special 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
This Corvette was built on April 26th, 1966 at the Chevrolet's St Louis Plant. It was delivered to and sold by
Adcox-Kirby Chevrolet in Chattanooga Tennessee.
It is equipped with the following options:
M-21 Close Ratio 4 speed transmission
Rally Red Paint
STD- Black Vinyl interior
White Convertible top
Tinted Windshield
AM/FM Radio
Off-road series exhaust
7.75 x 15 Goodyear white wall tire
Posi-traction Axle with 4.11 ratio gears
L79 option 350hp
Ownership history:
I have documentation from day 1 of the ownership history of the car. It was purchased on August 9th 1966 by J. C.
Lowry in Chattanooga TN. It was sold just over a year later to another Lowry family member less than 100 miles
away in northwest Georgia where the car spent the next 48 years. After changing hands a few times it was purchased
by John Pirkle Sr. on December 3rd 1988 with 55,610 miles. John Pirkle Sr. was a master NCRS judge who helped
write the NCRS judging manuals. There is a picture below of the March/April 2015 NCRS Driveline which credits him
with significant contributions to the development of the judging manual. John bought this car because it was a
local low mile original car which was never abused or restored. Over the course of 27 years of ownership he
repainted the car with the correct lacquer paint, had the engine rebuilt and the chassis detailed with all the
respect of a master NCRS judge. The car started in such incredible condition the body was never off the frame and
all bonding strips are still intact. No details were overlooked in preserving this original car to exact factory
specifications. Those of you who knew John, appreciate his integrity and devotion to the hobby and that is
evident in his own car. He added only 1150 miles in total over his 27 year ownership and preserved this car up to
his unfortunate passing in 2011. I was able to acquire it from the Pirkle family earlier in 2015. He loved this
corvette and it is a stunning example of John Prikle Sr's standards and commitment to the Corvette hobby.
Top Flight:
I prepared the car for NCRS judging on May 31st 2015. I replaced the convertible top with a correct Al Knock date
coded top, using an original windlace header. Using the judging manual (that John Pirkle Sr. wrote), I went page
by page correcting anything that was incorrect by NCRS standards and have all receipts. I've driven the car over
350 miles in 2015 and everything works as it should, including the clock. It not only looks great, but with 4.11
gears and the L79 350hp it is truly a pleasure to drive. The results were worth the time and effort spent, scoring
very well at 98.2% the first time out. Pictures of the judging sheets and certificate are included. The biggest
highlight of judging for me was not losing a single point on the interior scoring 790/790 points. It is a
completely original interior and received FULL credit in all areas from the judges. Overall the car scored
4419/4510 points. Of the 91 points lost, all are very minor issues which could be addressed for future judging
possibly scoring over 99% the next time out.
This is truly a unique opportunity to invest in a very special Corvette. Looking at the condition, ownership
history, judging results and documentation, this is very rare combination worthy of preserving.
There is also an auxiliary hardtop for the car which was painted with the car and matches perfectly. The headliner
and weatherstripping are showing some age and could be redone. link

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition
Sat, Dec 13 2014To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:
Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly
Fri, Sep 2 2016Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
