I have personally owned this car for 20 years. For the last 23 years I have owned 2 car lots, sold 12,000 cars, and kept 3 for myself. This is one of them. I'm going to sell the car with NO RESERVE. I apologize to all the people who begged, pleaded, left messages, cards, etc...to call them if I ever decided to sell it. This is the only fair way to sell it.
The car drives fantastic. The clutch is smooth, the motor purrs & it goes down the road straight as an arrow. I've replaced the carburetor, clutch, tires, brake calipers and have had the M21 & the posi differential rebuilt (I believe the gears are 3.55:1). I have enjoyed driving the car in it's current cosmetic state, for 20 years. It has been a joy parking wherever I wanted, without concern for getting a nick or a scratch. My 4 kids have enjoyed climbing into the front seat like Batman & Robin.
This is arguably one of the most iconic muscle cars ever produced. I've enjoyed the unrestored condition of the car, far more than any of the other restored classics that I have owned. Nick Nolte would be proud. You can drive it just the way it is, or restore it. Please don't compare this completely rust free car with anything else from the Midwest or East coast. Despite what those owners say, those cars will be rust buckets. The top mechanism functions perfectly. I never drive the car in the rain, so I never got around to installing the brand new top (included). When I replaced the gas tank, I saved the original tank sticker...unfortunately, my wife threw it away (it was stored in a mid 70's Penthouse magazine I had. The motor (not original) operates flawlessly (perfect cold start, no tick tick, smoke, etc...) It idles perfectly smooth. I always fantasized about building a ridiculously powerful replacement, but this one never ever gave me any reason to change it. Of course a perfectionist would want a mirror paint job...Whenever anyone commented about my paint quality, I always asked them, "What color is your 1969 Stingray?" This car's paint is faded. I believe most of the car has it's original paint, based on the vintage hand painted pinstripes (sans some brush touchup & the drivers door has been repainted. Of course you are going to have to tinker with a few things on a 44 year old classic (that's the fun part). I'm also including the ignition wire dress kit, that originally routed the wires, and covered the distributor. I am not suggesting that the 73,252 miles are original. I believe the original motor was a 300hp 350ci.
This is a NO RESERVE auction...please don't ask me to end the auction early. If you have ZERO or recent negative feedback, please contact me before you bid, or I will cancel your bid. If you don't have the money, or need to talk to your mommy (or daddy) before you buy, please refrain form bidding. I have extensive experience shipping cars all over the country. Email me for a shipping quote.
If you have any specific questions or require other specific photos or video, text me (Cory) at 206-817-2653, and I will forward them to your smart phone.
ULTIMATE FATHER'S DAY GIFT or this will make a wonderful heirloom.

2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 gets new supercharger, adds $17K to starting price
Tue, Apr 21 2015Callaway's proud tradition of modifying Chevrolets is about to add a very significant chapter this weekend, as the company prepares to unveil a modified version of the 2015 Corvette Z06. The engine mods are simple, though we expect them to be very potent. That's because Chevy has replaced the factory supercharger with a new "GenThree" unit that's nearly a third larger than what's bolted on in Bowling Green. A new intercooler is also added, along with a new high-flow intake system. Beyond that, the changes are exclusively of the subtle cosmetic variety. There's new badging inside and out, as well as new engine covers, floormats and an underhood plaque. Naturally, there's documentation to verify the Callaway Z06's authenticity, and the comfort that comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. Callaway has priced the upgrade package at $16,995, in addition to the price of the stock Z06. While we're still waiting to hear official power figures, that seems like a reasonable asking price for what were wagering will be a major increase in power. The Callaway Z06 will debut this weekend at the National Corvette Museum's C7 Bash in Bowling Green, KY. Expect more details following the debut. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: 2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 to Debut at National Corvette Museum The 2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 will debut at the National Corvette Museum C7 Bash in Bowling Green, Kentucky, April 23 through April 25. Here's a sneak peek at the new package. Based on Chevrolet's track-proven Z06, Callaway engineers' no-compromise approach takes this Corvette to an astounding power level. While advertised Callaway horsepower and torque are pending final validation, the Callaway package adds Callaway's new GenThree supercharger system with 32% more displacement than the stock Z06 supercharger, improved manifold design and unique triple-element intercooling system. Callaway engineers recognize that a key contributor to maximizing power is reduction of inlet air temperature. By exposing the supercharger's large plenum area to outside ambient airflow, the design takes advantage of the significant charge air temperature reduction provided by convective cooling. The completely redesigned intercooling system also helps maintain nearly ambient charge air temperature with exceptionally low air restriction.
Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
