Overall the car is in great condition. The vehicle underwent a basic restoration in 2010. The following was done to the vehicle:

1.  Had SBC 350 rebuilt and bored out .060.  2-step up cam installed during rebuild.
2.  New rebuilt 200R4 transmission with appropriate cross member.
3.  Edelbrock carb, intake, fuel pump, and water pump installed.
4.  New power steering pump, AC, steering gearbox, master cylinder, 
5.  New brake and fuel lines.
6.  Installed like-new complete dash.
7.  New carpet and seat covers, interior trim and panels dyed black.
8.  New paint and rhino-type liner in bed.
9.  Removed bumpers and installed roll pan.
10.  Custom tail gate with license plate bracket removed.
11.  New cowl front hood.
12.  All new bushings, tie rods, u-joints, etc, brakes, etc.
13.  New grill and light bezels
14.  New weatherstripping for doors and windows
15.  Flowmaster Exhaust (I believe Super 40) dumped before rear axle.
16.  Rear End from 1985 Monte SS (3.73 I think, non-posi as I was led to believe it was).
17.  205/75R15 Coopers on front, 275/60R15 Tiger Paws on rear.  Great Tread.
18.  Vintage looking American Racing wheels.
19.  Tinted windows (not pictured).

I am positive there is more not listed here...

In a nutshell, car was stripped down to bare body on frame (frame was never removed although all frame mounts and bushings were replaced).  
Essentially all components are new or rebuilt, and all suspension parts were either sand blasted and repainted or replaced and painted.

There is very little to this car that hasn't been replaced in the engine compartment (radiator, coolant reservoir, washer fluid reservoir, 
wiper motor....these are original and what I can think of right now).

Although this car is in excellent shape, there are a couple items that could be better: 

1. Small ding on left rear quarter above wheel well.  Hardly noticeable unless you know it is there,
2. Small indention on front right of hood (pushed a little hard in closing it, and in the wrong place)
3. A couple minor chips on front bumper (it has been driven...maybe 200 miles since restoration)
4. A couple interior trim piece are screwed in from outside (couldn't locate clips at the time).
5. Some dings are chrome around bed (have replacement chrome for this for all except tailgate and rear corners that would be included).
6. Seat covers were low quality...can easily be replaced.
7. Transmission fluid cover leaks slightly and occasionally.  I am told this is common and that a 700R4 pan would fix.

This car runs and rides great...and is definitely loud. And is definitely an attention-getter that only needs a little minor work to make show ready.

Thanks for looking and bidding!  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Payment by bank wire also accepted.

THIS CAR IS ALSO BEING SOLD LOCALLY AND THE LISTING COULD BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

Chevy SS to get 1LE-like handling pack

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Chevrolet engineers have more plans for the SS, but official approval stands between their wishes and our driving commands. After getting the no-cost option for a six-speed manual last year, Motor Trend reports that some company boffins want to throw the Camaro's track-focused 1LE package at it. On the Camaro that means the Performance Ride and Handling suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and 20-inch wheels all around concerning the road-focused bits. MT says that a 1LE on the SS would shed the staggered tires for one size all around, and get new dampers and a new suspension tune. It wouldn't turn the SS into a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, but the SS could do even more with its 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet, hopefully without sacrificing too much of its plush road comfort in the process. It's said that a production example could be done in less than six months, but it sounds like the approval process will take longer.
