Up for auction with a low reserve is my 1969 C3 Corvette Stingray Coupe
350 cubic inch small block (Casting number: 3970010)
350 horsepower
380 lbs. of torque
11:1 compression ratio
4 speed manual transmission
Original body color is fathom green with black interior.
NO power steering, NO power brakes, NO power windows, NO tilt/telescopic steering column and NO air conditioning.
Not original motor. Motor is from 1973.
I bought the car back in September 2011 with the intention of finishing the restoration that the previous owner started. The car has been parked in a heated garage all this time and lately I have become very busy with work that I don't see myself getting the car finished anytime within the next 3-5 years and I hate to leave it sit there until then when it is so close to being finished.
What has been done to date:
Completely restored/reconditioned rolling chassis.
Frame fully inspected, sand blasted, and painted with multiple coats of black epoxy enamel paint.
BRAND NEW gas tank, ALL NEW suspension components, new sway bars, new rims, tires, 4 wheel disc brakes, calipers, master cylinder and stainless steel brake lines. New radiator, heater core, new fuel lines and radiator hoses.
The engine was professionally rebuilt in 2003 in Rockland County, NY with all new bearings, mains, valves, new cam, new high flow oil pump, new rear seal, flywheel was turned, new pistons and rings, new lifters, new harmonic balance from Summit, new timing chain and rebuilt cylinder heads from the early 1970's. I do not have documentation to prove this. This is what was told to me by the previous owner when I bought the car.
This is NOT a NCRS numbers matching car! Great project with a lot of potential and when it is complete it will have a value of between 25-30K depending on any additional upgrades you choose to install.
The transmission was rebuilt with ALL NEW GEARS. New clutch assembly as well.
The rear axle has been rebuilt and has the posi traction additive added to it. Ratio is 3.36:1
Brand new exhaust system from the ram horn headers to the mufflers.
The original Rochester Q-Jet 4 barrel carburetor has been professionally rebuilt and looks BRAND NEW. New air cleaner assembly.
Car comes with the original intake manifold. Currently has an Edelbrock performance intake installed on the block.
New fan blade, pulleys and belts. New alternator and fuel pump.
New windshield, new seat cushions and covers, new door panels, new center console and cushion, new carpeting, new insulation, new and/or rebuilt gauges.
New aftermarket Corvette stereo. New dash board components, new front and rear chromed bumpers.
New pair of T-tops, new wiring harnesses, and new vacuum lines and MANY more parts...BOXES OF STUFF...too many to list but you get the idea. The goal was to completely restore this car to make a fun good looking driver out of it and I would say that I have approximately 95-98% of what is needed to finish the job. Everything else that would be needed is small.
The body has been stripped of all its paint and some fiberglass work has already been done. Not for the faint of heart! There are some cracks in the body/fiberglass that needs repairing and/or replacing especially at the nose. The bird cage is intact but will need to be sandblasted and reconditioned around the windshield.
A lot of hard work, time and love has been put into this car and will become a real beauty when it is complete. I have LOTS of pictures I can e-mail you. Please don't hesitate to ask me questions.
Thanks for looking.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Evatran, Bosch will sell wireless home charger for as low as $1,998*
Mon, Jan 6 2014At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, the big news for plug in vehicles is that they can now start to ditch the plug. As expected, the system costs around $3,000 and is available for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt. For the first 250 customers, though, Evatran is offering $1,000 off the standard price, a 30 percent discount. Deliveries start next month and Evatran says it expects the discounted units to all be snatched up in the first half of the year. The wireless charger charges as quickly as conventional corded systems. Called the Plugless Wireless EV charger, the 240-volt station will be installed by Bosch and needs a specific adapter to be used with the Volt or the Leaf (the Leaf version costs $100 more). So, any two-EV families out there will need to pony up double if there's a Chevy and a Nissan in the garage. Of course, since the Plugless system only works with older Leafs (2010-2012 model years - but with any Volt), any late adopters will not be able to take advantage of the new technology, for now. Evatran says the wireless charger "charges the Volt and Leaf as quickly as conventional corded systems and all vehicle features, such as charge-timers and phone applications, can be used seamlessly with the Plugless system." After the first 250 units, standard prices for the wireless chargers take effect again: $2,998 (Volt) and $3,098 (Leaf). Evatran says it will announce wireless chargers for additional vehicles and model years later this year. Evatran and Bosch offer Promotional Pricing as low as $1,998 to first 250 PLUGLESS™ Wireless EV Charging Customers LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Evatran Group, Inc. ("Evatran"), in partnership with Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, announced today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show that it is offering reduced promotional pricing to the first 250 customers who opt to Go PLUGLESS with their electric vehicle ("EV") experience. The PLUGLESS system offers a convenient, wireless charging alternative to the repetitive process of unplugging and plugging-in electric vehicles. The reduced pricing includes all charging hardware and is as much as a 30% discount off the system's standard MSRP. The discount is available only to the first 250 customers. Initial shipments of the PLUGLESS system, the first wireless EV charging product in the world available to individual EV drivers, will begin in February 2014.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
