Vehicle came out of Maryland. This car was acquired from the 3rd owner I believe. It was basically an original survivor that has had a repaint recently. Real SS car with some nice options! When I bought it I drove it all the way home to NY and did some minor work on it here and there as needed. Surprising how nice this car feels and rides. Almost everything in the car works, including the power windows, wipers, radio and even the horn!
Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close flawlessly. I don't think you'll find a nicer original car for the money than this one!
Under the hood lies the factory 409ci/340hp 4bbl. motor. This is a REAL passenger car 409 with the "X" on the driver's side of the block, and even has the "409SS " on the dipstick. It has been upgraded with a Holley 750cfm 4bbl. double-pumper carburetor, MSD plug wires and external performance ignition coil, as well as full headers into dual exhaust. Radiator is also upgraded to an aluminum unit for better cooling (with original fan shroud mounted on it).
Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears without any noises or grinding. I drove the car about once a week, both around town and on the highway and it performs great. You can cruise with it on the highway all day at 65mph and I would trust it to drive anywhere at the drop of a hat. Very easy to drive with power steering and brakes.
Interior is basically all stock with no modifications. Seats are in good shape (small rip by lower driver's side from getting in and out). Carpet is older but presentable. Door panels are in decent shape, with a couple of small rips by the armrests. Headliner should be replaced. Dash has had a plastic "cap" put over the original, which had cracks in it. Steering wheel in fair shape with a few cracks. Console in fairly good shape. Sunvisors need to be redone/replaced. Overall very presentable for a nice driver. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE ORIGINAL AND UNMOLESTED INTERIOR IN THE CAR.
Underside has a GOOD FRAME on it. Normal scaly surface rust from decades of use. Floors appear to be in good shape overall with a couple of small areas that may need a small patch or two, but NO large holes. Trunk pan is SOLID and has had a patch on the middle flat section. Overall structurally sound and in good shape.
Chrome is original and presentable for a driver with some pitting throughout and minor surface rust. Bumpers should be replaced. Side trim looks fairly good but could use new tape inserts to make it pop.
Previous owner gave me a bunch of parts for this car as well so they are available to the winning bidder at an additional price if desired:
1) new gas tank
2) new trunk weatherstripping
3) used front bumper ends
4) new rear license plate trim piece
5) new rear taillight housings
6) new interior scuff plates
7) various other minor odds and ends
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in FAIR/GOOD overall shape throughout (could use a good wetsand and buff as it has some orange peel here and there and could have been prepped better before painting of course), with various imperfections throughout as it was NOT a $10K paintjob. Looks good from 20 feet. Not working: gas gauge (needs new sending unit), clock, windows work but are rather slow, tachometer (not connected), perhaps a bulb or two could use replacing. Carburetor needs to be primed when first started. Window trim is pitted and has rust spots in various places. Missing: cowl tag, door and trunk weatherstripping, driver's side sunvisor. A couple of the tires need replacing due to dry rot. Exhaust has a rattle and needs one hanger replaced.
So overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be completely restored, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a GOOD LOOKING ORIGINAL SURVIVOR that runs/drives great and is loaded with rare options, then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need a considerable amount of restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver. The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen. Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt. Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM. Scroll down for the official NHTSA statement.
