I purchsaed this car in 1984 from a local dealer. the car has been in the family ever since. It has been stored for most of the past 15 years. For the past year I have licensed the car and driven it occasionally. It starts easlily and runs great. In 1986 through 1988 I did extensive work on the vehicle. I installed new upper and lower ball joints and tie rods in the frontend..I intalled stainless steel brake calipers and brake lines and stainless steel exhaust. Also a high perpormance rear leaf sping. The body was stripped to the bare friberglass and repainted the original color. The paint is still in excellent condition. Also I installed new carpet. I have receipts for all items.. I cannot confirm that this is the original motor. Based on the engine code it is a 350 cubic inch 300 hp motor which best I can tell the motor is a 70's motor. Might be original motor.The remaining numbers are not present on the engine block. Now the things that the car needs.. The seats are worn and needs recovered.For $700.00 from Zip Corvette you can purchase new seat covers, foam and hardware for both seats. I do not have the original radio. I installed a am/fm cassette radio years ago. The transmission has a small leak but believe that it is nothing more seious than a pan gasket. The power windows work but I am missing the knobs for the door locks. Everything that needs fixed or repaired is minor compared to the shape of this vehicle. Tires are in excellent shape. I have a cloth car cover and a nose bra for the car. I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere. Only has 85,675 miles on car.

I wanted to add some information about the motor and whether it is the original motor. After some research I beleive that this is the original motor. Based on reading I found that in 1970 GM began placing the the vin sequence number in other locations other than the passenger side of the front block. I have yet to find the vin sequence number but I am still searching. The Engine code on the motor is V1217CTG which means that the motor was built in Flint Michigan where vette motors were built and the CTG stands for 1970. The engine casting mumber is 3970010 which means it is a 350 cubic inch 300 hp. Based on this I believe that the motor matches the car. If I find the vin sequence number I will update the listing.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX
Mon, Feb 2 2015Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.
