This 1964 Corvette is a nice one. This description will be long and lengthy but needs to be told as this corvette
has had a lot of restoration work done. We have owned this corvette before back in 2000 when the restoration was
done. We sold this actual car in 2001 and have just purchased it back from that same owner for all of these past 15
years. That owner kept the car always inside and preserved well as you can see from the chassis in the photos. It
has been driven regularly (fair weather only) and serviced whether it needed it or not. Only approx. 2,000 miles
have been put on the car since sold back in 2001. The miles shows now 67,458 and although possibly could be actual,
we cannot guarantee them. The corvette is finished in correct riverside red with black interior. The trim tag shows
this as well unlike most cars were they were silver or blue and then changed into red. The car was repainted at the
time of the restoration and was done in base coat clear coat finish. The paint still shines well and is very
presentable. The bonding strips are intact on the car. The trim was all removed when painted. The doors open and
close with ease and shut nicely. The windshield was replaced and all of the stainless trim was polished out nicely.
The windshield rubber was replaced along with the wiper arms. The overall car was done right and still looks as
good as the day it was finished.
Many new correct parts were replaced on the car from Long Island Corvette. This includes new GM front and rear
bumpers, new tail lights, new license plate bezel, license plate light restored, new gas door lid, new rocker
moldings, new door handles, new outside mirror, new emblems, new deck lid latches, new wiper arms, grill was
removed and polished, all bumper brackets were refinished and new hardware installed, new correct Dewitt dated
coded radiator and overflow tank installed in the car, new hoses and correct clamps, heater box removed and
correctly refinished, new heater core, new heater hoses, engine totally stripped down to bare and refinished, new
correct ignition shielding, fan shroud refinished along with all of the pulleys and fan blade, new fan clutch,
radiator support removed and painted, valve covers refinished, all suspension removed and rebuilt on the car
including new tie rod ends, new shocks, a-arms completely removed refinished glossy as they should be and new
bushings installed, new half shafts, driveshaft and rear leaf spring all refinished, new correct gas tank from
Quanta with a new sending unit, rear trailing arms all removed and rebuilt, new brakes, lines, all drum brake
assemblies removed and not only rebuilt but restored nicely, drums blasted and painted, front sway bar refinished,
spare tire compartment restored, all new correct aluminized exhaust system from corvette central with all hangers,
clamps, and heat shields like the originals, new exhaust bezels and extensions, rear end assembly painted a cast
blast to prevent from rusting, new shifter and linkage, oil pan and entire block repainted, just about everything
was refinished on the car to make it look like it does in the photos. The frame was repainted in semi-gloss black
and inspection markings put back on it like from the factory. Underbody has never been undercoated and you can see
just how nice the bare fiberglass floors are in the photos. When the car was restored it was the goal to do it
right with markings and labels. The car does drive nice and tight and shifts smoothly. Plenty of power and the
engine runs out smoothly.
The interior on the car is very nice. The seat covers, carpet, and door panels are all new from Al Knock when
restored. The carpet is fitted like it should with little to no wrinkles, the dash pads are near perfect originals
only redyed to match the rest of the interior, also no evidence of cracks or repairs on them, the console was
restored along with the glovebox door, new glovebox liner and the light does still work, new ash tray and shifter
boot, clock restored with quartz movement, original am/fm radio still works, new rear jack board, new reproduction
style seat belts, instruments all work and are original, gauges are not perfectly fresh but are very presentable
and the odometer still does work, the steering wheel is extremely nice with no splits or cracks, new horn button,
and the list goes on. The convertible softop is white vinyl and does present itself well. The back window is no
discolored and the softop does fit good with the window glass up. The softop however is not perfect and has been on
the car for the past 15 plus years. I personally would not install a new top on the car because it is to good to
redo, however I do have a new softop from Al Knock still in the box that is included with the sale of the car.
There was about $16,000 spent on the car back then not counting the paint job or any labor on the car.
This corvette is restored nicely. No perfect but after looking at what is for sale out there I believe you could
not get one into this condition for what my reserve is. At todays cost and labor to restore a car like this could
easily cost you $50,000 plus the cost of the corvette. You are better off to buy one like this one than to buy a
project car and never see it finished and when you do you end up having $100,000 in it!

327 C.I. V8 250 H.P. Engine (Matching Numbers)
4-Speed Manual Transmission
Positraction Rear Axle
Power Steering
AM/FM Radio

The corvette is a nice example of a 1964 model convertible. Very presentable not only on the top side but
underneath as well. Something that you can show and drive as well. We have driven it about 100 miles since we
purchased the car back. Included with the sale is a portfolio of the car with restoration photos and receipts
showing the chassis dismantled. There is also some title history dating back about 20 years where the car has been
in the southwest part of Missouri the entire time, assembly manual and shop manual, sales brochure, owners manual,
spare tire lock, jack and lead hammer for KO Wheels, new softop still in the box, nice indoor car cover, and some
other information pertaining to this corvette over the past 15+years.

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt
Sat, Sep 12 2015The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.
Recharge Wrap-up: EV torque secrets, UC Davis maps future of biofuels
Fri, Jul 25 2014A UC Davis white paper maps out "Three Routes Forward for Biofuels," balancing investment risk with carbon benefits. The first option is "incremental," in which we tinker with the existing biofuel manufacturing infrastructure for small improvements over time. The "transitional" plan suggests integrating cellulosic production and other innovations with existing operations. The third route, called "leapfrogging," would mean building refineries based on new technology such as cellulosic and algae-based biofuels. The paper suggests ways the US could use these three routes together in different areas, and predicts the payoffs in terms of carbon emissions could be significant if the right people are willing to risk the capital. After all, financial advisers are always telling investors to diversify their portfolios to manage risk and rewards in the same way.

The seventh round of the inaugural all-electric race season, which was moved from Los Angeles to the streets of Long Beach, will offer fans free grandstand and general admission. The race, which takes place on April 5, 2015, will use a 1.6-mile portion of IndyCar's Grand Prix of Long Beach. Read more at LA Times. Polaris is now offering its 2015 GEM electric vehicles, including the new street-legal eM1400 LSV. The passenger and utility vehicles come in two- to six-passenger configurations, many of which are street legal on roads with posted speed limits of up to 35 miles per hour. The eM1400 LSV utility vehicle seats two, offers 1,250 pounds of payload, 1,250 pounds of towing capacity, a top speed of 25 mph and a range of up to 45 miles. Its on-board charger plugs into any standard 110-volt outlet. Read more at Hybrid Cars and check out all the different configurations yourself at the Polaris website. In EVs, more torque does not always equal faster. Green Car Reports found this out when driving the Fiat 500e (with 147 pound-feet) against the similarly weighted Chevrolet Spark EV (with 400 pound-feet). The secret is, at least in part, in the gearing. The Fiat has a 9.6:1 reduction gear, making it quicker at lower speeds despite having far less available torque, while the Chevy uses a 3:1 ratio. The trade-off though, is in top speed. Furthermore, Chevy electronically limits the torque delivery at low speeds, as 400 pound-feet is a lot of launch for the little Spark EV to handle.
GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV
Sun, Oct 12 2014We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.
