I have personally owned this car for 20 years. For the last 23 years I have owned 2 car lots, sold 12,000 cars, and kept 3 for myself. This is one of them. I'm going to sell the car with NO RESERVE. I apologize to all the people who begged, pleaded, left messages, cards, etc...to call them if I ever decided to sell it. This is the only fair way to sell it.
The car drives fantastic. The clutch is smooth, the motor purrs & it goes down the road straight as an arrow. I've replaced the carburetor, clutch, tires, brake calipers and have had the M21 & the posi differential rebuilt (I believe the gears are 3.55:1). I have enjoyed driving the car in it's current cosmetic state, for 20 years. It has been a joy parking wherever I wanted, without concern for getting a nick or a scratch. My 4 kids have enjoyed climbing into the front seat like Batman & Robin.
This is arguably one of the most iconic muscle cars ever produced. I've enjoyed the unrestored condition of the car, far more than any of the other restored classics that I have owned. Nick Nolte would be proud. You can drive it just the way it is, or restore it. Please don't compare this completely rust free car with anything else from the Midwest or East coast. Despite what those owners say, those cars will be rust buckets. The top mechanism functions perfectly. I never drive the car in the rain, so I never got around to installing the brand new top (included). When I replaced the gas tank, I saved the original tank sticker...unfortunately, my wife threw it away (it was stored in a mid 70's Penthouse magazine I had. The motor (not original) operates flawlessly (perfect cold start, no tick tick, smoke, etc...) It idles perfectly smooth. I always fantasized about building a ridiculously powerful replacement, but this one never ever gave me any reason to change it. Of course a perfectionist would want a mirror paint job...Whenever anyone commented about my paint quality, I always asked them, "What color is your 1969 Stingray?" This car's paint is faded. I believe most of the car has it's original paint, based on the vintage hand painted pinstripes (sans some brush touchup & the drivers door has been repainted. Of course you are going to have to tinker with a few things on a 44 year old classic (that's the fun part). I'm also including the ignition wire dress kit, that originally routed the wires, and covered the distributor. I am not suggesting that the 73,252 miles are original. I believe the original motor was a 300hp 350ci.
This is a NO RESERVE auction...please don't ask me to end the auction early. If you have ZERO or recent negative feedback, please contact me before you bid, or I will cancel your bid. If you don't have the money, or need to talk to your mommy (or daddy) before you buy, please refrain form bidding. I have extensive experience shipping cars all over the country. Email me for a shipping quote.
If you have any specific questions or require other specific photos or video, text me (Cory) at 206-817-2653, and I will forward them to your smart phone.
ULTIMATE FATHER'S DAY GIFT or this will make a wonderful heirloom.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06
Tue, Nov 25 2014The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
