1974 Project corvette coupe for sale in Wellington Fla

The drive train appears very good. I bought recently to fix up like a 74 my wife and I had when younger.

   This one is pretty original and fairly unmolested, suspension  will need going through as the original rubber is pretty much shot. They sell poly kits on here for a couple hundred dollars.

the car had been sitting before I bought it recently and I had to put a new gas tank and sending unit in, also replaced the rag joint on steering .

Decided I wanted to get back to my 40 ford project so decided to sell.

   MSD distributor and Mallory box pictured is not included. 

A complete new clear cap HEI with tach drive is included,

 but not yet installed. the Mallory box don't really fit in engine compartment anyway and the tach wont work with the MSD distributor anyway.

 To test the engine I ran a electric fuel pump also but it runs smooth and no smoke whatsoever even on first start  I drove car around neighborhood and it did very well , was told Target master 4 bolt main crate engine was installed just before parking into storage in 2001.

body is in good shape I would say and wont need much prep work but has a thin area on upper front fender that will need new fiberglass underneath to make stronger.

frame looked nice and also straight to me

 front end looks original 74 rear tail has been replaced at some point with an 80s tail

 driver door seems good but hits at front gap when opening,  pass door looks operates good,

Interior wise it looks pretty good no cracks (except upper dash corner), no tears or burns or rips wear spots on buckets will  deff need new carpet (there is a nice red molded kit on here for $165 shipped) and top dash pad no rips or tears in seats and door panels and dash looks OK

Missing from car: factory cowl air cleaner, liner trim from driver side T-top Cant think of anything else right now.

gauges seemed pretty good

pop up headlights will need attention one side is binding.

The rubber body mounts and suspension rubber is original Im sure, and will need replaced I was going to install the polyurethane kit on here complete kit is aprox $250  

The driver door has some rust holes in that area also the small sheet metal parts that hold together the nose will need repair or replace to do it right. lower radiator cradle also. Carpet needed obviously but floors being all fiberglass so they wont need attention I don't see any rips or tears on interior seats and upholstery and I see where the vinyl can be dyed with spay paint from corvette shops but Ive never tried it. rear package tray will need new lid frame. Glass all looks real good . no oil or water trans fluid leaks was stored with full radiator so it appears good. Tires look real good but are old so I wouldn't try to set any speed records with it. drive train feels pretty tight but as stated the rubber on trailing arms in rear for sure and front sway bar bushings and such. body is pretty good and straight but will still need repair type glass work in some areas before primer . I don't see where its ever been in a accident . but Im guessing that's why the tail is from a 80s unless the original got wavey like they do or I guess the previous owner could have just liked the later rear spoiler look.

If interested please contact for more specifics and HOOD is not presently on car at the moment but very easy to reinstall and will if sells.

Available for viewing just about day or time also,  Thanks, Randy

It won't be long now before Nissan Leaf finally overtakes Chevy Volt

Thu, Dec 25 2014

The two best-selling plug-in vehicles ever are the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. When the two vehicles launched in late 2010, the plug-in hybrid Volt quickly outpaced the all-electric Leaf and, despite lots of ups and downs since then, continues to hold on to a cumulative sales lead. This will change in 2015. Cumulatively, from November 2010 through November 2014, the Volt sold 71,867 units while the Leaf trails with 69,220. That's a difference of just 2,647. Based on current trends (with the Leaf selling around 2,500-2,700 a month and the Volt at 1,500-1,700) we expect the Leaf to take over either in January or, more likely, February when the Leaf takes over as the most popular plug-in car in America. Perhaps even March, depending on how low the numbers are for January and February, which are always slow sales months in the US. Of course, once it takes the crown, the Leaf can't expect to easily hold on for long. A new Volt is coming in the second half of 2015, likely beating a new Leaf to market. The question is, then, how well the Chevy sells with all of its new bells and whistles. Do you think the Volt will be the comeback kid once the 2016 model becomes available?

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor

Sat, Apr 30 2016

Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
