I just acquired this beauty. I don't have the time to give her to restore her back. The previous owner did alot of work on this car. It's a 95HP/Auto with 99K on it and with care will possibly go another 99K.Engine = rebuilt carbs, wires, plugs, cap & rotor, air cleaner, fuel pump, coil belt, balancer & seal, "O" rings, valve cover gaskets, pan gasket, muffler donuts, good exhaust (very quite). New heater hoses and lower shroud thermostats. Trans/Diff = transmission was flushed (not converter) and filter checked and cleaned, new fluids for bother and are quite, shift smoothly with no gear noise or whining. Very smooth and tight. Brakes = rebuilt master cylinder, steel line in the rear as well as rubber, pads all around have plenty of life, front cross member replaced with solid 65, new shocks (all around) idler are, pitman arm bushing and tires. Front bearings cleaned and repacked, rears quite with no unusual vibrations or whine. Body/Interior = The body on this car is extremely solid. Floors are original and solid. drivers side door has about a 2" rust hole from what appears to have been a small hit at one time but not serious. What you see is surface rust and discoloration. Body interior color combination is pretty. Interior is all original and 98% perfect (years of dirty pant seats have left their mark. Dash is incredible (crisp and clean). All glass is clean with no chipping and front windshield is tinted. Door panels are perfect and windows roll up and down smoothly. wind noise while driving is almost nil .As mentioned above, this is a true daily driver that has never let me down. I've driven it in all kinds of weather and it performs beautifully. Does not leak when it rains and there are NO fowl odors with the heat or defrost on or with "AIR" down which all cables work smoothly. There is this neat after market manual windshield sprayer in the truck with the pump lever under the dash. It needs a bag but would bet it works. Guessing this was dealer install, but has never seen one before. This car would only need slight bodywork and paint to be a show winner. It will give you years of enjoyment as a daily as well but deserves to be painted. As far what I can see the runs fine and just needs some TLC. Currently the speedometer was disconnected and was told by the original owner he was in the process of connecting it. It also needs carpeting. |

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
