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.

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.
