Sadly, I have lost steam with finishing my Hot Rod Power Tour build. I didn't get it finished in time for this last years cruise and have since devoted my time and energy to finishing my 67 C10. Just don't have time for both and want someone else to enjoy this car. This is a clean looking unique car with some big money spent on big name suspension upgrades along with some other goodies to make this a cross country cruiser. The next owner will have the pleasure of setting up the suspension to their liking and cruise on to your favorite local hang out. Here are the details:

Goods:
Car really is in great, original shape. I'd rate the interior near perfect, all original. Clean up top and underneath. Runs/drives/stops. Paint is in good-great shape. Car starts right up, idles great, stays cool (even in TX). No smoke during start up.
Bads:
Has some vinyl top rust. Can feel it around the rear window. Has a few spots that have extended out of the perimeter of the vinyl top in the rear (see the walk around video). Vinyl top is still in great shape though. Needs a little tuning and suspension needs to be tweaked to really be a reliable cruiser....should be minimal work. Tires have great tread left but old. Has what I would consider typical "old car leaks" from the engine and trans (nothing major).
Title in hand. Have lots of original parts that will go with it. Some suspension parts, fender skirts, etc.

Great car with lots of sleeper potential. Although this car has been extremely reliable for me, I would highly advise against a long road trip with this. It's an old car with a lot of new parts. I feel it does require a little time with the new owner to set the suspension up to their liking.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions....I'll be happy to answer them as timely as possible.
I will cancel suspicious bidding. If you have little to no feedback or just joined ebay, I will need email confirmation from you prior to bidding or you bid will be cancelled. Item is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction prior to ending. I will require a $500 immediate deposit and full payment within 1 week of the auction ending. I will do what I can (within reason) to work with shipping the car.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
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.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four 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.
