1966 Corvette Air Coupe
I recent purchased this
Corvette from a gentleman in Florida who had owned it for over 20 years. I had planned on keeping it for at least a
couple of years but as we all know, plans do change. I am going in a different direction and since
I only have a two car garage, the Corvette will be sold. The Corvette is in amazing
condition considering the time that has gone by since a frame-off restoration
was done. It was restored in the
mid-nineties but has only been driven an average of 450 miles per year. There is an extensive amount of documentation
on the car covering the past 21 years. For several years the car
was on the NCRS show circuit capturing Top Flight, Regional Awards, and
Bloomington Gold. After finishing with
the shows, the original numbers matching 327/300 HP engine was removed and replaced
with a period correct 327/365 HP engine.
The original engine (which had approximately 4700 miles on it since being
rebuilt) was stored for future use. According
to the previous owner, the 327/365 HP engine (which is what is in the car now)
is a low mileage engine. Records
indicate that only approximately 2000 miles have been put on it since being
installed. The original engine, along
with an original set of Kelsey Hayes steel wheels and beautiful original
spinner hubcaps are included with the vehicle.
The original engine and wheels will allow the new owner to bring the car
back to the way it rolled off of the assembly line, if he/she so desires. However, they just might agree with the previous
owner that it looks much nicer the way it is currently set-up. Some of the factory installed
options are Power Steering, Tinted Glass, four speed standard transmission and factory
A/C. The factory AC makes this an all season
driver, and an extremely nice driver it is.
It will be hard to find another Corvette as nice as this one. As they say a picture is worth
a thousand words, so please look them over and I’m sure you are going to have questions
so please do not hesitate to call. PLEASE
NOTE: If you are a Nevada resident,
there is no sales tax on a vehicle purchased from a private individual. This will save you almost $5000 over one
purchased from a dealer. I have a free
and clear title to the car. This car is almost fifty
years old and is being sold as is where is.
I will not be responsible for any
repairs after the purchase has been completed. The car is available for inspection
by appointment only. The Corvette may be advertised
in other venues. Therefore, I reserve
the right to cancel the auction prior to the car meeting the reserve. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger
Mon, Apr 13 2015The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
