I am listing this Corvette for its second owner. He purchased it in 1969 from the original owner. At the time of his purchase, it had about 25,000 original miles. He has owned and maintained it since and is  selling it because he now drives it very little. I inspected the car today and found it to be an very good condition with some usual minor cosmetic issues. The paint is very good overall with a few small chips. The bumpers look good, but could stand to be rechromed. The interior is entirely original showing no abnormal wear. I have experience judging at shows and would consider this to be a good honest car needing only minor restoration, and one that is not often found and highly desirable. 

After the seller purchased the car, he removed the 427 engine because he wanted to save it. He installed a 454 at that time, and it remains in the car and runs well. The 427 was kept and is included with the car. It has had the heads rebuilt with hardened valve seats. The owner has  kept any original parts that were replaced over the years and will include them also. Anything such as the stock chrome distributor cover not shown in the pictures is present. The original steel wheels are also included in addition to the knockoff cast 
aluminum aftermarket wheels on the car.   
The description of the car is as follows: The original factory color is sun flower yellow. The interior is black and all original. Options and features include AO1 soft ray tinted glass,CO7 auxiliary hardtop, F41 special front and rear suspension, 4-speed manual transmission,  G81 positraction rear axle 3.70, J50 power brakes(dual master cylinder), J56 special heavy-duty brakes, K66 transistor ignition, L72 425 HP 4-barrel 427 engine, N32 Teakwood steering wheel, N36 telescopic steering wheel, U69 AM/FM pushbutton radio with power antenna, and stock 4 core radiator.                                                                                                                                                                                                               Conditions of purchase: The winning bidder will pay a 5% nonrefundable deposit within 48 hours of the auction's close by paypal. Balance of the purchase price will be payable in cash or cashier's check upon pickup of the vehicle within a week of the auction's close. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.                                                                                     I will be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.
