This is a matching number 327/365 hp, 4-spd 1965 Corvette Convertible. The restoration was started some years ago and the body was taken off the frame at that time. The frame is immaculate and has been all sandblasted and painted with new fuel lines, brake lines, body mounts, front end etc. The body was remounted and the car was painted with its original Rally Red color. The paint was done some time ago and it looks okay, but is not real nice. There are scrapes and dings and touchups all over and the gaps at the doors aren't real nice. The chrome bumpers are pretty good though. The interior is supposed to be black, but the previous owner started to convert it to red, so I kept it going. The seats have been recovered and both dash pads and the door panels have been replaced with red ones. This project still needs to be finished. The car has a new engine and dash wiring harness, but I only hooked up the ignition portion so the car can be started and moved. Of course, you can drive the car around and shift through all four gears, but the rest of the harness and the new light harness need to be installed. The headlight motors are in the buckets. The brakes and suspension on the car are all good and it drives quite well. There still are some parts missing, the most expensive of which is probably the clock, but I may have one soon. I have the rear view mirror, side mirror and horn button. Also I believe I have all the pieces of the ignition shielding and they are original. I also have a new power antenna and the spare tire bucket. The convertible top frame is good with a new header bow, but it needs a soft top. The side exhaust pipes are original NOS GM. The 327/365 hp engine seems to be all original and matching and even the 4-spd Muncie M-21 transmission is matching numbers with the VIN. The block casting number is 3782870 with a casting date of L 28 4. The heads are cast 3782461 with matching casting dates of L 14 4. The assembly date on the block is 12 29 and of course the HL code is there along with the VIN# of the car. The intake is 3844461. You can hear the solid lifters clacking away in the engine and it runs strong. Overall, this car is not going to win Bloomington Gold, but all the work that needs to be done can be finished by one individual with very little that needs to be purchased, unless you want to repaint the car. Matching number 327/365hp cars are very hard to find, especially real red ones with the original tranny. I priced the car very reasonable to help pay for another car, so please be serious of you bid. Remember this is an ongoing project and like most things on ebay it probably looks better in the pictures than in real life. The fuel injection emblems were put there by the previous owner to clone a fuel car. The emblems are original and I may still be able to get the fuel unit he was going to use if someone is interested, but this is a 365hp corvette, not a real 375ph fuel car.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
GM cutting production at two plants
Thu, Feb 26 2015General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
