1961 Corvette Convertible Numbers Matching Survivor W/ Hardtop on 2040-cars
Auburn Hills, Michigan, United States

1961 Corvette Convertible. I am selling this car for the family of the owner who has passed away. He had owned the car for 20 years and the previous owner had it for 14 years. Prior to me removing the car from their garage, it had been in storage for the last 10 years. It has now been fully serviced by a specialist and runs, drives and stops great.
This car has its original, numbers matching 283 / 230hp V8 with a 3 speed manual transmission. Oil pressure is excellent and ALL of the gauges work. The car was originally a black car with blue interior. It retains its original blue interior and is in very good condition for its age. The car was re-painted a 1972 Corvette blue in the late 1970s. The paint is in generally good condition, but shows its age in areas. These spots include some small cracks, chips and other defects. In all, still very presentable for a survivor. There are some dents in the cove moldings on the passenger side, the the drivers side is quite good. I have a set of NOS moldings still in the wrappers that could go with the car. the radio is an aftermarket replacement, but I have an original wonderbar radio and speaker that will go with the car. The spare tire, jack and tools are in the trunk. Even the owners manual is with the car. The chassis is in very good condition with no signs of serious corrosion. The factory hard top is also in very good condition, although there is some crazing in the window. The soft top is white and the top mechanism is very good. The top is in good condition and the rear window is clear and flexible. Most of the weather strips on the top and doors appear to be original and are rather crispy. The Tachometer and the Clock are inoperative. Everything else works. During its recent service it also received a new fuel tank and sending unit. This car is a very solid, reliable, complete and original example. Please ask any questions you might have prior to bidding. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. The car is being sold "as is" without any warranties of any kind. I encourage you to inspect the car in person. Thank you for your interest. On Jun-03-14 at 17:56:40 PDT, seller added the following information: I have confirmed that the engine and transmission had been rebuilt. |

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles
Tue, May 17 2016Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.
