1961 Corvette Convertible. Real time capsule begging for a new life.
Very original body, perfect frame. One of the straightest early Corvettes I've ever seen.
All bonding strips intact. See inner fender well pictures and picture of body below front license plate brackets
showing no repairs or damage to this great condition body. Car was parked due to wiring harness short in the
February 1983 and stored in an airplane hanger in Torrance, CA, ever since. Great candidate for NCRS Top Flight,
Bloomington Gold or restomod requiring very little body work to be perfect and no frame repairs required to this
rust free frame. The frame stencil numbers are still present, and there is absolutely no pitting, scaling or thin
spots on this smooth steel frame. It has the numbers matching original engine, original cast iron powerglide,
original third member, carb tag still on carb, Harrison radiator, original generator.
This may have been a radio delete car as original owner installed an aftermarket radio and antenna more than 30
years ago and there are no ignition shields. I put new tires on it as of 10/2015 as the old tires would no longer
hold air. Original interior is all there and needs to be redone due to age and condition of seat covers and carpet.
Original soft top with great condition rust free frame. Doors shut with one finger, chrome is original and needs to
be done, all stainless is original. Trunk shows no repairs and is missing original jack and wrench. Original trunk
mat is present but is aged and cracked. The only thing I see is a small 1.5" diameter modification done to the
recess area at the end of the jack handle in the trunk that would be an easy fix.
Remember, this car has been parked for almost 33 years. I have not done any cleaning or painting to spruce it up
for the sale. I sort of wiped the dirt off the VIN tag and that's about it. The engine compartment and underside of
the car are just dusty/dirty as seen in the pictures, not even a tint of rust anywhere. The underside and inner
fender wells have had no undercoating sprayed on them which is a big plus when inspecting this car. The vacuum
lines attached to the upper radiator hose were part of a bolt-on California smog device that regulated the vacuum
advance during warm up, was used in the 1970's and was later abandoned. It's interesting that it is still on the
car. This car was part of a large estate sale.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
