For sale is my 1969 Corvette. I have had this car for 17 years and it is time to finally sell it due to not having enough time to use it. I will try my best in describing the car in detail in the following description. Any question feel free to call 716-550-1628. If I do not answer, please leave a message and I will get back to you.


FIRST, the car is NOT a numbers matching original. I did not buy it like that and had no interest in such a vehicle. The person I bought it from 17 years ago did not have much information to give me other than it was living most of its life in PA and then southern NY. 


Paint/Body:


Originally the car was Monza Red, but I had it changed to a type of Blue. Unfortunately the painter did not listen to me and painted it a type of blue, that has a hue of purple in it depending on the light. It might look a nice rich blue, or a dark purple.  


The paint job is a 8 foot paint job, meaning from 8 feet away it looks good. This car is a driver and has a couple of scratches, that are not that noticeable to most people, but I can see it right away. The t-tops and after market hood, have typical gel coat spider cracking, again the painter assured me would not happen for many years, it has been 5. 


Seeing the motor does not create vacuum, the headlight need to be raised and lower manually.  There are electric conversions out there, but I could not see spending the over $800 to have something I have been doing for years. 

Almost all of the moulding has been replaced with quality aftermarket pieces. The bumpers have been rechromed about 7 years ago.


Engine:


Currently the engine is a 383 stroker with 10.5:1 compression and mechanical roller cam. I cannot find the cam card anymore, but it has a lift of over .700”. This motor has been built to be shifted at 7200 rpm, and has a single plane Holly Strip dominator intake on it. The heads are Airflow Research AFR 215 heads, 7qt miloden oil pan. I have had the valve springs replaced 2 years ago, to make sure I would not have any problems. 


Originally the setup had 1-7/8” headers, a 875cfm modified double pumper carb, and a msd set up. It was a bear to drive on the street all the time, so I detuned it a bit and put on a HEI distributor, 750 cdm vacuum secondary carb, and 1-5/8” headers. It seems to make it a little more tolerable when driving around.


Transmission/driveline:


When I bought the car it was a 4-sp manual, but latter, my knees could not keep up with the heavy mechanical clutch, so I switched to a TH-400 with a manual valve body. It is a built transmission that can handle anything you can throw at it. The rear end posi unit has been rebuilt 14 years ago along with all the trailing arm bearings and bushings. The rear end gear is a 3.55. All ujoints are spicer branded. 


Chassis/brakes:


The car is a manual brake car with replace calipers. The brake lines are stainless steel braided lines. The car is a manual steering car with newer Moog ball joints, idler arm, and all tie rods. The sway bar links, and control arm bushings are poly urethane, energy suspension equipped. All of the shocks are Bilsteins. The front coil springs are rated for handling, and the rear is a fiberglass design with a high lb for better handling. 


The tires are BF Goodrich 255/60-r15 at all 4. The rims, and associated trim accessories are aftermarket, the car when I bought it had miss matching Cragar S/S which are long gone.


Interior:


I had gotten rid of the original gauges about 10 years ago, the milage on the original was in the 66000 range. I always loved the Auto-meter gauges, and on the new speedo, the odometer is only at a little after 1. I had a hard time finding the correct speedometer set up along with the cable. When I got the transmission, the shop neglected to put in the speedo cable pick up, and I had a hard time finding one, that was reasonably priced. I was able to now and the speedo does work, but I have not had the car on the road in a couple of years. The car does get driven on my property, it does not sit around. I am not sure on the accuracy of the speedo, the gear in the transmission may have to be changed. 


The seats, have been reupholstered to a vinyl leather simulation. The carpet has been redone and installed with in the last year.  The seat belts are original for this car, the shoulder belt and the lap belts all work. 


The radio is a custom auto sound unit that has a aux input for headphone jack. 


Seeing I drive this car in nice weather, I had a leaky heater core and decided to take out all of the HVAC in this car, I didn’t see the need to have it. The controls are still in place along with the wiring, but the heater hoses and the heater control valve are gone.


The manual crank windows work as intended, and go fully all the way up and down with no issues. I did replace the weather stripping last year around the doors.




Asking price is $15,000/BO. I would like to sell my car, I do not NEED to sell it, so please don’t waste either of our times and low ball a offer. $250 deposit is required at time of commitment of purchase, which is non refundable, unless I am contacted and some sort of an agreement could be met. 


This posting can be cancelled at any time due to me selling the car locally. 


Shipping: The car is located in Wheatfield, NY (between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY) I have the car in my garage, and I unfortunately have no means of trailering it to any destination. One would have to come to my property and pick up the vehicle.

Would you pay $17 a month to give your older Ford connectivity?

Fri, Mar 30 2018

When it was first introduced in 2007, there was nothing like the original Ford Sync system, since it allowed car owners to connect and use a portable device better than anything that came before it. And because it was a brought-in/tethered and software-based system, Sync leveraged a device's connectivity and was easily updated. It took competitors awhile to catch up: Toyota Entune wasn't available until 2011, and Chevy MyLink didn't roll out until 2012. But now Ford is the one playing catchup since it stuck with the brought-in strategy while most other automakers were quicker to add connectivity via an embedded cellular modem. Ford initially installed 2G/3G modems in its small fleet of electric and plug-in electric vehicles starting in 2012 so that owners could keep tabs on charging. Embedded connectivity came to Lincoln in 2014, and Ford began adding onboard 4G LTE via Sync Connect to select cars starting with the Escape in 2015. To get more cars connected more quickly, last week the automaker rolled out its FordPass SmartLink solution that plugs into the OBD port of 2010 to 2017 model year vehicles. This lets owners retroactively get onboard Wi-Fi, set up a "geo-fence" to keep tabs on a car's location, receive vehicle health reports and allows remote engine starting and door locking/unlocking using a smartphone app, among other features. But to connect older Ford vehicles will cost owners $16.99 a month for two years, not including installation. Ford throws in 1 GB of data or a 30-day trial, whichever comes first, after which owners have to add the vehicle to their Verizon shared data plan, which supplies connectivity for SmartLink, or establish a new account. (Disclosure: Autoblog is owned by Verizon.) By comparison, GM's 4G LTE data plans start at $10 a month for 200 MB and goes up to $30 for 3 GB, and owners can also add a car to an AT&T shared-data plan. But OnStar doesn't have a separate monthly subscription for the embedded modem or an installation charge, and standard features via the RemoteLink Mobile App are free for the first five years of ownership. FCA's Uconnect Access service also uses an embedded modem to provide similar telematics features for $20 per month following a free one-year trial, while a la carte in-car Wi-Fi is offered for $10 per day, $20 per week or $35 per month.

GM follows Ford and Honda in skipping SEMA

Fri, May 20 2022

The list of automakers skipping SEMA has become longer. First reported by Muscle Cars and Trucks, and confirmed to us by a company representative, General Motors will not have an official presence at the aftermarket show. It joins Ford and Honda in leaving the show. It will be a large hole in the show, with the GM brands typically filling a significant swath of available show space in one of the main halls. GM hasn't provided much explanation for the move, either. The GM representative provided Autoblog with the same statement that Muscle Cars and Trucks got: "GM has made the decision not to participate in the 2022 SEMA Show. The SEMA show has always inspired us, and accessories and performance parts remain an important part of our business." We also asked if we would see any sort of announcements around the time of the show — Ford said it has plans to share some things around that time — however, the GM representative said that the company has no immediate plans for announcements. Certainly things could change between now and the November show, though. SEMA had previously noted that other exhibitors would help fill in some of the space vacated by these major OEMs. Another OEM, Volkswagen, is returning to the show after an absence, which will also help with the display deficit.

Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'

Tue, Apr 28 2020

Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24.  The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series.  Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz.           View this post on Instagram                   Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.
