1966 Corvette Air Coupe on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
1966 Corvette Air Coupe
I recent purchased this
Corvette from a gentleman in Florida who had owned it for over 20 years. I had planned on keeping it for at least a
couple of years but as we all know, plans do change. I am going in a different direction and since
I only have a two car garage, the Corvette will be sold. The Corvette is in amazing
condition considering the time that has gone by since a frame-off restoration
was done. It was restored in the
mid-nineties but has only been driven an average of 450 miles per year. There is an extensive amount of documentation
on the car covering the past 21 years. For several years the car
was on the NCRS show circuit capturing Top Flight, Regional Awards, and
Bloomington Gold. After finishing with
the shows, the original numbers matching 327/300 HP engine was removed and replaced
with a period correct 327/365 HP engine.
The original engine (which had approximately 4700 miles on it since being
rebuilt) was stored for future use. According
to the previous owner, the 327/365 HP engine (which is what is in the car now)
is a low mileage engine. Records
indicate that only approximately 2000 miles have been put on it since being
installed. The original engine, along
with an original set of Kelsey Hayes steel wheels and beautiful original
spinner hubcaps are included with the vehicle.
The original engine and wheels will allow the new owner to bring the car
back to the way it rolled off of the assembly line, if he/she so desires. However, they just might agree with the previous
owner that it looks much nicer the way it is currently set-up. Some of the factory installed
options are Power Steering, Tinted Glass, four speed standard transmission and factory
A/C. The factory AC makes this an all season
driver, and an extremely nice driver it is.
It will be hard to find another Corvette as nice as this one. As they say a picture is worth
a thousand words, so please look them over and I’m sure you are going to have questions
so please do not hesitate to call. PLEASE
NOTE: If you are a Nevada resident,
there is no sales tax on a vehicle purchased from a private individual. This will save you almost $5000 over one
purchased from a dealer. I have a free
and clear title to the car. This car is almost fifty
years old and is being sold as is where is.
I will not be responsible for any
repairs after the purchase has been completed. The car is available for inspection
by appointment only. The Corvette may be advertised
in other venues. Therefore, I reserve
the right to cancel the auction prior to the car meeting the reserve. |

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak
Wed, Sep 24 2014General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

The Jitterbugs somersaulted at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show for the Chevy Nova
Tue, Dec 30 2014Judging by the vintage videos that the Chicago Auto Show has been uploading, if you wanted to check out the latest vehicles and watch some dancers in the same place in the late '80s and early '90s, then the Windy City event was definitely the place to be. We've already seen the Footlockers pitching the Cavalier in '88 and a troupe of women singing about the Geo brand in '91. Apparently, the trend went back even further, though. Just take a look at this group called the Jitterbugs selling some badge-engineered products from Chevrolet at the 1986 show. Flanked by the Chevy Nova and Spectrum, these guys managed to do a few pretty impressive jumps and somersaults but mixed them with some rather uninspired spins, as well. Also, wait for 1:24 into the clip to see the least enthusiastic backup dancers that the world has ever known. The Jitterbugs are even further proof that Chevy's habit of mixing dancing and its vehicles goes back even further than the Volt.
