You really want to look at this Corvette. This Corvette is absolutely AMAZING. First things first. I am selling this car for a friend. Anything that may come up, I may have to check with him, but that will be done quickly. This car is a complete nut and bolt restored Corvette. The photos with this listing will tell you more than I ever could. I am not sure exactly just how rare this car is, but it has to be way up on the rarity scale. This 1965 Corvette has but one option. That is the 16 dollar Comfort and Convenience group. That option is for a day/night mirror and backup lights. Truly, this is the way the car came. A complete base option Corvette. In all the years I've been building, admiring and driving a Vette, I truly can remember only one other Corvette I ever saw with a 3 speed manual transmission. This car came that way. My math tells me this is one of 406 1965 Corvettes that came with the three speed. The last photos are the paperwork that shows the delivering dealer and the 2011 NCRS meet in Kissimmee Florida where it was judged Top Flight with a score of 97.4. I think the car had a demerit for the wrong number on the horn relay, which has since been corrected. The judging score sheet, which is available, also scored the car 100% for operation. The dash is the original "radio delete" one that came in the car. Everything about this car is restored original. Everything on the car was disassembled and restored to original. There is a reserve on the car but it is quite reasonable considering the level of restoration and the rarity of this car. If you are the winning bidder, the car can remain in heated garage it is now in, for as long as you need it to. But the day final payment is received, insurance will also be dropped so you need to arrange that immediately. The winning bidder will be responsible for pickup or arranging to have it delivered. I for one would not want to pick this car up with an open trailer, but then again, I'm not buying it. The owner will need a thousand dollar deposit within 3 days of auction close and full payment within 10 days. I have not cleared this, but know my friend will be OK with this; if you are the winning bidder and arrive and the car is not as advertised, you do not have to take it. Pay the eBay fees and go home. But believe me when I say this car is all of that and more. Bid on a high class restored Corvette to own it, and know you have purchased a Corvette you will be proud of from the day you get it. If there are questions, please make sure you ask. If I can't answer them I will put you in touch with the owner, but that needs to be restricted because of health. I have more photos that I may be able to attach to an e-mail if you need them. Just ask the questions and send me an e-mail address. You cannot go wrong with bidding on this car. It is amazing!

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall
Tue, Apr 14 2015Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
