I bought this car 4 years ago. According to the previous owner it was last driven in the late 1980s when he decided to do a body off restoration and completely disassembled the car. Over the next several years the frame was sandblasted, primed, and painted. New bushings, bearings, S.S. break and fuel lines, gas tank, ball joints, breaks, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, etc.The original Muncie 4-speed transmission and rear end rebuilt (3:70 posi). A low mileage 454 C.I. block was installed as well. I started working on the car about 2 months ago by removing the frontend which had prior damage and very poorly repaired. A new Eckler's one piece frontend was installed.I pulled the heads to check the condition of the motor. There is no ridge on cylinder walls and internals are very clean. I had valves ground at that time. Motor runs very smooth. All the usual big block parts are in place as can be seen in pictures. Here are some of the casting numbers and dates: - Heads 3872702 A 14 6 and A 18 6 - Intake 3866948 A 8 6 - Water pump 3856284 L 19 5 - Alternator 100693 6 A 17 - Bell housing 3872444 - Seat belts 3 A 66 The original color code is 984 sunfire yellow with black vinyl interior. The car has no power options and comes with everything pictured which makes it pretty complete. What I do know that is missing is 1 upper outer windshield trim, power antenna, radiator shroud, most headlight parts, and probably some small items I am not aware of. Here are some pluses for the car. Dash pads are excellent. Seat covers are decent and could be used as is. Excellent cluster. Body lines look very good. Tires are almost new. All glass is there. I have owned about 15 C2 cars and all the laborous hard work is done which will make for an easy project. I will pack up the parts in the car and help with loading. It only rolls and steers. The car is being sold as is with no warranty. A $1,000 deposit is due within 2 days of auction's end and the balance within 7 more days or when the car is picked up or arrangements are made for shipping by the buyer. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me on my cell. Thanks, John cell: 269 420 0585 |

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
