Having owned the car for five years, winning many trophies and awards; it's time to move on. The car has been a great joy, not only does it run and look good, people are intrigued with the "Buckskin" color. We have seen two others in five years!
Bloomington Gold, St. Charles, IL didn't even have another one! Even though the car has low miles, and wasn't drove much before I got it; I decided to refresh the engine and tranny. In showing it, I added a lot of chrome to the engine but have all of the
original parts that go with the car. The front bumper area was becoming slightly wavy with age, so I chose to replace it with a more stablized new one. I also added a new aluminum radiator at that time. You're also welcome to the trophies and awards
that I have won in showing the car. The car has air, I chose not to replace the compressor. The car has always been garaged, and only has two other owners. They both kept it original but I wanted to dress it up with chrome for the car shows. I really
think you will enjoy the car, it's a conversation piece for sure! We've made a lot of new friends at the car shows and hope you will consider showing it also. I have lots of photos and can email them to you. The last owner didn't drive
didn't drive it much, I really feel we gave it a new life by taking it to the shows and getting it out there for people to see. We have had a great time with it! Hope you do too!

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.
