70 LT-1 Corvette. This is a driver. All numbers matching. New front coil springs, rebuilt front calipers, new front pads, new shocks, New starter, New tires (less than 500 miles), New mufflers.
The following is the history of the car as I know it, along with the condition to the best of my knowledge. I am giving the good and the bad. It is 43 years old after all. I am trying to be as up front as possible.
This car came from Virginia to California about 17 years ago. The car sat for 11 years after the move to Ca. Over the last 3 years the car has been driven on weekends during good weather. The car runs well (motor, tranny, rear end, brakes, etc.). The compression is good, up to factory specs when checked 2 years ago. The outer ring on the harmonic balancer has spun, so the timing mark is off. I don't know if the motor was ever out, if it was it was along time ago. It still has the solid lifters and the cam sounds correct, nice lope at idle. With 11.00:1 compression you must run 100+ octane otherwise it detonates under load. 112 Sunoco worked well. The car still has TI. The car has PB and the front calipers were rebuilt to factory specs. The frame has surface rust but is solid, no issues near the arches. The rear trailing arm pockets are also solid with no cancer observed, surface rust only. The car was painted at some in the past not sure when but 20+ years ago. It still looks ok 10' out but does have chips here and there and the spider webs on the front fenders as is common. When the drivers side coil spring collapsed, it tore a strip of fiberglass at the top of the wheel arch when the tire hit it. Its not bad just want to disclose it. The chrome is 43 years old and although not great it is not pitted. The radio is AM/FM and works. The electric windows work, the drivers side window has to be helped up and down due to an issue with the regulator. The car has fiber optics and per normal some work. The temp gauge is not working. The car has headers, no air pump (obviously). Lights work as well as blinkers etc. Wiper door works, wipers do not. The speedo shows 105,000 miles but the speedo only works intermittently. No paperwork, i.e protecto plate, build sheet. There is a tank sticker visible to the left side of the filler neck. It is there but I'm not going to try and get it out. The interior is good for 43 years there are no tears. The drivers side seat of course shows the most wear. For some reason there are no backs on the seats. The car comes with some additional resto parts, mostly trim screws and 4 of OEM "coolie hat" wheel covers. I have the OEM air cleaner top also. The oil dip stick tube is broken and I do have a replacement.
For those that are interested, Engine: 70S411937/V0603CTK, Block date: E290, casting#3970010, Intake Manifold: 3912116
Tranny code: POE21B (VIN matches), Paint: 972, Trim: 403(BLK Leather), Heads: 3927186 E250.
I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells locally.
Obviously there are no warranties implied or given on this car. It is sold as is where is.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
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.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
