 Opportunity is now open to purchase this beautiful 1969 Corvette 427 Stingray. Sport Coupe, 390HP, 4 speed , Fathom Green. Removable tops and rear back glass give options to a nearly open to fully closed driving experience. This car has been heavily improved starting in 2005/6/7 w/receipts for all work done. Over 850 hours of labor. This is one of the last 1,050th cars built for 1969. 

Drivetrain - rebuilt 427 engine. Block casting #39635512- correct for 1969. Block ID# T1201LM. Block VIN #19S7***** Matching to the correct year, assembly plant and VIN # of the car. Please view the block ID# picture as it looks like a small stamping error was made then corrected. (LW is lightly left under the LM).  Block VIN # next to it looks unmolested factory script correct and matches the car 100%. We believe that this was an honest mistake as the Block VIN # is the one that would be altered to match the car if any foulplay was attemped. The 4 speed transmission is numbers matching correct to the car. Rear axle is 3.36 ratio heavy duty positraction. 
  Original Rochester carb is included w/the car. Correct exhaust manifolds and new reproduction exhaust system installed. New replacement radiator/tank and much more.

Disclosures- As with most collector cars that are 44 years old, there are a few details that may need attention: Drivers side parking brake cable is sticking and should be replaced. Original clock and radio are currently not funtioning. (Not needed when listening to the 427 under the hood). Passenger side power window switch works but is a little touchy and may need a replacement.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
