This is a 53 chevy 2 door post car. If your looking for a show car keep looking, this is not for you. If you want something to beat around in and hit the Cruise-Ins, this is for you. This car has A LOT going for it. A lot of work has been done. It has a Mustang II front end with a new power steering rack and power front disc brakes. A later 10 bolt chevy rear end with 2:56 gears!! Yes take her to the salt flats! The motor is a Torque Monster Caddy 500 CI from a 73 Eldorado. Adapted to a 700r4 trans. She will cruise at 80 MPH at ONLY 1800 RPM!! Not sure how fast she will go! Dual electric fans kick on by temp automatically. The paint on it is a satin blue metallic that has that perfect shine. It lacks in the interior department a little. The front seat is out of the 73 eldo and not sure what the back seat is. It can cruise 4 dudes and thats all that matters. The exhaust has that old school sound and turns out in front of the rear tires. She used to be drove a lot until the last 2 years. The front tires are not the best and I wouldn't drive it too far without swapping them out first. All the lights and gauges work except the volt gauge. All the windows roll up and down without a problem but 3 are broke. They are flat glass so any glass shop can make them. Still in the car but broke. A little TLC would go A LONG way on this baby. We bought new a bigger cam and lifters, and also a new 3 inch taller alum intake that the buyer can purchase for extra. All new in the boxes. Don't be afraid to make a healthy offer, we may end the listing early. No trades. Check out some of our other rides we have sold. photo IMG_8847_zps66c5620f.jpg photo IMG_1677_zps7d9fcf81.jpg photo freewatermark_zps068577dd.jpg photo Limesqueeze_zps31316040.jpg photo 9_zps8ae789e9.jpg photo SK_01_sm_zps49e9fe40.jpg photo 100_2220_zps90f87cae.jpg photo IMG_3168_zps3add5769.jpg photo IMG_3904_zps3f0ffa49.jpg photo IMG_3448_zpsc6e538e7.jpg photo IMG_1615_zpsa96a324e.jpg

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
