Because it would take 10,000 words to explain the complete build of this vehicle, I put together an 11 minute video of the complete build and interested bidders can send me a message and I will be more than happy to send you the link to the video. Plain and simple - I have $75,000 in parts alone invested in this car. I have over 1000 hours of labor - nearly 1700 hours to be exact. The certified appraisal valued the car at $153,000. No, I'm not asking $153,000. I will say that to me this awesome 68 pro street camaro is priceless! Of course I'm the one who has all the sweat in this completed project so I can say that. While this car has nearly 1000 naturally aspirated horsepower - I never built it with the intention of racing. I built this car for show and to freak people out when I drive it on the street. This car is nothing to play around with. You must respect this car and the power it has or it will kill you. This car is NOT for kids or someone who wants to showoff by displaying it's power on the street. Like I said, this car has an extremely high amount of power and it is dangerous if you don't respect it. I did the calculations and based on horsepower and weight of vehicle this car would accelerate from 0-100 mph in approximately 3 seconds. Yes, 3 seconds! Of course you could never do that on the street because the car would not get enough traction. Okay, with that said if you want one of the baddest looking classics in the world - here is your chance. I am selling because I simply don't drive it and I got tired of the car shows. That simple. This car is awesome and I did not cut any corners when I built it all. I would have included the link to the site where you can view a video of the build but eBay no longer allows this. Send me a message and then I can send you the link to the video so you can view it along with the complete details of the appraisal. On Feb-27-14 at 10:37:21 PST, seller added the following information: Wanted to say that I do have the hood off the car to give a better view of the engine.
On Feb-27-14 at 21:46:49 PST, seller added the following information: I have a complete parts list in a certified appraisal but since I've been getting an overwhelming response to my car about the engine, etc. I am listing some of the things about the car below.

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

It was only two months ago that Mary Barra, freshly crowned as the new General Motors chief executive officer, visited Washington DC as an esteemed guest of First Lady Michelle Obama for the State of the Union address. On Tuesday, Barra returned to the Capitol under more strained circumstances. For more than two contentious hours, she took questions from members of a House of Representatives subcommittee investigating General Motors years-long delay in initiating a recall of millions of vehicles that contained a defect that has killed at least 13 people. Why did GM accept faulty ignition switches that were below the company's set specfications? Why did GM learn about the problem in 2001 yet take no action until 2014? Will GM compensate victims' families even though the company's bankruptcy may limit its liability? Those were a few of the questions members of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee asked. Few concrete answers were forthcoming. For her part, Barra sidestepped most of the questions, saying she wouldn't have information needed to answer them until an internal review is completed. David Friedman, the administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, testified after Barra. The biggest news that emerged from the hearing was that General Motors has retained attorney Kenneth Feinberg to advise the company on its civil and legal responsibilities. He has made a career of resolving disputes and serving in a 'fixer' role, serving as the chief of the federal government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, as an administrator of compensation fund for victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and a similar fund for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Barra, who has been GM's CEO since January but been with the company since 1980, expects to meet with Feinberg on Friday, and have a concrete plan within the next 30-60 days. Yet Barra would not say for certain Tuesday that GM would compensate the victims at all. Despite repeated questions from Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Barra did not outline the company's intentions. "I assume GM is hiring (Feinberg) to help identify the size of claims and then compensate the victims? Is that right," DeGette asked. "Is GM willing to put together some kind of a compensation fund for these victims that Mr. Feinberg will then administer?" "We've hired him to help assess the situation," Barra replied. "So really, there's no money involved at this point," DeGette asked.

General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
