I purchased in Kansas in 2010, BARN FIND while working after the Tornado tore up Joplin Mo in 2010 and drove it here to the bay area. Some of the pictures here are from the barn and some are from the trip to California.
I replaced the windshield with NEW, installed a New Holly 750 Carburetor, flushed the fuel system, bleed and serviced the brakes then drove it here to California where I received and posses a Clear California Title in my name. There are no back fees. I forget if it's either currently registered or on a Non Operation registration but its one or the other, which is good. No DMV fees are due! I've intended to restore this 1966 SUPER SPORT Big Block Convertible but have needed to replace my work truck with funds from selling this car.
Its starts right up after sitting long periods of time and (fires right up). It runs and drives excellent. All the glass is good. It has primer and some rust inhibitor on the body. It has rust holes in the drivers floor board in an area about the size of several small holes in the area of a dollar bill.
I have 4 bucket seats that go with the car. 2 are original. It has an OEM TACHOMETER IN DASH (stock) no center console (missing) but has 4 speed gauges. I believe it was an original 396 with a 400TH. I want to think it was a 4spd but I have been told that because of the 10 bolt posi that it was most likely a 396 with a 400TH trans. This engine is a strong rebuilt 402 big block, 4 wheel drum brakes, newer white convertible top with a glass rear window, the dash pad is tan and in good condition. Needs paint and interior work. Is an excellent driving project car. A great winter project to be ready for summer and beach cruises.
Also available for sale (separate) is a 12 bolt posi 1966 Impala SS. $950. obo, Front Disc Brakes fits 1966 Impala $250. obo

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
