1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray on 2040-cars
Boston, Georgia, United States
1965 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible
This Car has been Garage Kept in my family in a smoke free environment since 1977. 1965 Corvettes are perhaps
the biggest bargain of the mid-year period. They're not the iconic 63's yet they have all the up grades that came
in, '65 most notable is 4 wheel disc brakes and a small block rebuilt to factory specs. Obviously if you like
driving your Corvette this car represents tremendous bang for the buck. If you drive any mid year Corvette
especially a Rally Red Corvette Roadster your going to get noticed. Subject to an exhaustive cosmetic and
mechanical restoration this one remains in excellent condition that's well above what most folks consider a
"driver". Professional frame off total restoration of the car some years back and it has always been
garage kept!
The seat covers are correct and these seats are some of the most inviting buckets I've seen in a long time-they're
just begging you to slide behind the wheel aren't they? The gauges are in beautiful condition, however the
odometer is not working and the tachometer is after market.
This vehicle is only driven about 200 miles per year, therefore the mileage is very low since the engine was
rebuilt however I don't know exactly what the mileage is. The markings are so crisp that I'm left wondering if
they even looked that good when they were new. Fresh carpets and center console add's to the factory fresh feeling
and the door panels are wonderfully done.
The radio is a rare AM/FM unit with that unique vertical orientation and there's a black 3 spoke steering wheels as
well, and the power antenna works! A bright white vinyl convertible top was installed at the same time and looks
quite good.
The block is a 1967-vintage 327 4 bolt main rebuilt. The manifolds have obviously been coated to protect the cast
iron and keep them looking good for years and they feed a reproduction exhaust system that sound's great.
The Muncie M 20 4-speed has been fully rebuilt and out back a set of 3.36 gears and positraction make it street
friendly no matter what you are doing. Four-wheel discs were new in '65 and very welcome given the car's
performance.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe
Thu, Oct 16 2014BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
