Up for sale is my 1968 Corvette Coupe with T-tops.  Car is beautiful, sounds like its about to take flight on the drag strip, and runs like a scalded dog.  Has the 327/350 option with a 4-speed.  I bought this from a friend who needed money to build his house. I realized after I bought it that I have 9 other vehicles, and it has rained every day except 4 since I moved to Florida over Memorial Day weekend. So, I realized I haven't ridden either of my Harley's since I moved, not once!  This car, and my 65 Mustang, have mostly been moved from my garage to my shop so I could drywall the garage then back into the garage.  I bought this car in Dec 2012, and when I looked on the title and the odometer today, I realized it had 81,674 miles on it when I bought it, and today it reads 81,686 which means I've driven it a total of 12 miles since I bought it, and that was to go to the DMV, and once this weekend when it was test-driven locally by a guy who wanted to trade me a Cabin Cruiser for it. I have a wave runner and a boat that I just bought last week, so had I known that before he test-drove it, I wouldn't have wasted that trip!


As for the condition, the pics pretty much speak for themselves. I have the factory luggage rack and factory steering wheel the guy gave me. I have the factory shop manuals somewhere too. Car starts, runs, rides beautifully, sounds like a serious hot rod with the custom exhaust, and has what looks to be relatively new wheels/tires. The only issues I found with the car were the seat belts were for crap, so I have new, generic ones in the packages to go with the car. I also noticed, on the only day I parked it outside, that the T-Top weatherstrips leak, so I just purchased a complete new weatherstrip kit for almost $500 from Mid-America Corvettes, and the kit is still in the box, and will be included. I don't know of other issues with the car, understanding that I've only driven it 12 miles.  I encourage local inspection, and feel free to bring your mechanic with you!  Car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty, but again, I encourage local inspection, and I'll be happy to take you for a ride. 

I looked up the NADA on the car. Today, it lists the low retail at $21K, the average retail in the $40's, and the high retail in the $50's.  I live near Pensacola, Florida, and here the insurance company and the DMV have to inspect the car, and the insurance company has pictures taken and filed so I could recoup my losses if anything happened, and so I could put Antique plates on it. After doing so, the Insurance Company did comps in the local Region, and it's currently insured for $33,500.  I've started the bid where I feel like someone can get a good deal on a really nice Vette.  I could probably hold out for big bucks, but the car is not doing anything for me except sitting in the garage collecting dust, while I pay increased insurance rates because of the insured value. So, if you want it, bid to own it. I have set my starting bid, and if it ends up a penny over, so be it. The car needs an owner. 

Now for the necessary stuff:  NO outside the lower 48 bids, sales or shipping. Car has been described to the best of my ability and knowledge. Inspection encouraged and invited. I will entertain offers of trades, but I don't want ANY projects, no matter how little you think needs to be done. If you want to trade anything, you have to have a clear title, and be able to bring your prospective trade to my house, no exceptions. Cash is the only form of payment I'll accept, I don't care what your wife says. NO money orders, NO checks, NO google payments, and NO paypal beyond the deposit. And last but not least, check my feedback from over 10 years on ebay. I'm honest, and will deal with you straight up. I have heard and had guys try ALL the scams and silliness on me, so please don't waste your time. I'm not letting you send me a wire transfer, and have your brother/shipper/cousin or anybody else transact any business for you.  Cash, in person, is the only way this works, period. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end, and balance upon pickup within 7 days. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction until the first bid is entered. Once that happens, it will run til sold. If your feedback is less than 5, or you have negatives for non-payment, I reserve the right to cancel your bid.  Thanks for looking, and don't be afraid to send me reasonable offers.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:

GM Design shows what could have been and what might be

Thu, May 27 2021

We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.

Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck

Thu, Oct 30 2014

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series
