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

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As 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.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
