Up for auction with a low reserve is my 1969 C3 Corvette Stingray Coupe
350 cubic inch small block (Casting number: 3970010)
350 horsepower
380 lbs. of torque
11:1 compression ratio
4 speed manual transmission
Original body color is fathom green with black interior.
NO power steering, NO power brakes, NO power windows, NO tilt/telescopic steering column and NO air conditioning.
Not original motor. Motor is from 1973.
I bought the car back in September 2011 with the intention of finishing the restoration that the previous owner started. The car has been parked in a heated garage all this time and lately I have become very busy with work that I don't see myself getting the car finished anytime within the next 3-5 years and I hate to leave it sit there until then when it is so close to being finished.
What has been done to date:
Completely restored/reconditioned rolling chassis.
Frame fully inspected, sand blasted, and painted with multiple coats of black epoxy enamel paint.
BRAND NEW gas tank, ALL NEW suspension components, new sway bars, new rims, tires, 4 wheel disc brakes, calipers, master cylinder and stainless steel brake lines. New radiator, heater core, new fuel lines and radiator hoses.
The engine was professionally rebuilt in 2003 in Rockland County, NY with all new bearings, mains, valves, new cam, new high flow oil pump, new rear seal, flywheel was turned, new pistons and rings, new lifters, new harmonic balance from Summit, new timing chain and rebuilt cylinder heads from the early 1970's. I do not have documentation to prove this. This is what was told to me by the previous owner when I bought the car.
This is NOT a NCRS numbers matching car! Great project with a lot of potential and when it is complete it will have a value of between 25-30K depending on any additional upgrades you choose to install.
The transmission was rebuilt with ALL NEW GEARS. New clutch assembly as well.
The rear axle has been rebuilt and has the posi traction additive added to it. Ratio is 3.36:1
Brand new exhaust system from the ram horn headers to the mufflers.
The original Rochester Q-Jet 4 barrel carburetor has been professionally rebuilt and looks BRAND NEW. New air cleaner assembly.
Car comes with the original intake manifold. Currently has an Edelbrock performance intake installed on the block.
New fan blade, pulleys and belts. New alternator and fuel pump.
New windshield, new seat cushions and covers, new door panels, new center console and cushion, new carpeting, new insulation, new and/or rebuilt gauges.
New aftermarket Corvette stereo. New dash board components, new front and rear chromed bumpers.
New pair of T-tops, new wiring harnesses, and new vacuum lines and MANY more parts...BOXES OF STUFF...too many to list but you get the idea. The goal was to completely restore this car to make a fun good looking driver out of it and I would say that I have approximately 95-98% of what is needed to finish the job. Everything else that would be needed is small.
The body has been stripped of all its paint and some fiberglass work has already been done. Not for the faint of heart! There are some cracks in the body/fiberglass that needs repairing and/or replacing especially at the nose. The bird cage is intact but will need to be sandblasted and reconditioned around the windshield.
A lot of hard work, time and love has been put into this car and will become a real beauty when it is complete. I have LOTS of pictures I can e-mail you. Please don't hesitate to ask me questions.
Thanks for looking.

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed
Thu, Nov 17 2022The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities. The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit. The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year. Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting. 50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem
Wed, Mar 9 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.
