1974 Chevrolet Corvette looking for a good home.  4 speed transmission with body matching t-tops.  I purchased the car off Ebay about 6 years ago from a gentleman in Illinois and had it shipped to me.  The vehicle was painted while the previous owner had it.  The shine is still there, but there are a few bubbles in the hood area.  You can also see where a good finish sanding was not completed prior the final respray due to some light scratches visible.  The car looks great from 10 feet away.  I am just being honest and trying to represent the car the best I can.  Radiator just flushed & fluid changed.  New Wipers installed.  The car has only been driven in rain once since I have owned it (go figure, moving day). 




I have replaced the following items over the last few years:  
Intake Manifolds (removed headers),
Air filter & assembly, 
complete tune-up, 
rear brakes, 
oil pump, 
seals, 
lower radiator hose, 
upper radiator hose, 
thermostat (170 degree installed), 
heater pump hoses, 
alternator rebuilt, 
alternator bracket replaced, 
power steering line, 
wheels (back to original), 
carpet (floor sprayed with rubberized undercoating & then lined with dynamat prior to new carpet), 
seat cushions, 
seats re-upholstered,
seatbelts, 
numerous interior trim pieces, 
floor mats,
center console,
shift boot,
ash tray,
interior temperature control cluster,
rear compartment assembly,
radio (vintage in appearance, but digital with ipod adapter hidden in ashtray area)

  
What I would replace if I was keeping the car:  
interior door panels, 
paint, 
clock, 
rear bumper (currently a one piece which in 1974 they came from the factory a two piece with split down the middle), 
tripometer (does not work, but the odometer does) 
install the luggage rack on the back.  

There is a chip on the drivers door at the edge where my son  (he is still alive, so relax) opened the door into another vehicle.  The chip has been touched up with paint.  The Original air conditioner has never been checked since I've owned the car due to not driving it hardly at all.  The belt was frayed, but present when I received the car.

I have tried to take it back as close to factory original as I can.  It is a numbers matching car from everything I've checked out.  The carb is a Holley, not the quadrajet.  I found a napkin inside with the original dealerships name on it. When I replaced the carpet, I sprayed undercoating on the interior floor and then lined it with dynamat (for heat reduction and noise cancellation) prior to laying down the carpet.

Here is the research I've done on the car through the NCRS manual:

Trim tag
416= Medium Saddle
80L= Orange Metallic
E18= Body Built May 18th
Vin#
1- Chevrolet
Z= Corvette
37= Coupe
J= L48
4= Last # in year made
S= Saint Louis Plant
4= constant # in 73 & 74
126724= Sequence # of Vehicle
Engine Block:
3970010
AC Compressor:
5910741= 74L48

I am selling the car to get a larger camper for my family, so one toy must go before I can upgrade another unfortunately.  No partial trades or trades of any kind welcome.  Price is firm.  Buyer pays shipping and all other included costs.  I will drive it to the shipper.  Appraisers welcome under my schedule.  I will deliver within 150 miles of me for free.  Car is for sale locally as well.

More pictures will be sent upon request.  I will take specific pictures if requested to the best of my ability.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
