1974 Chevrolet Corvette looking for a good home.  4 speed transmission with body matching t-tops.  I purchased the car off Ebay about 6 years ago from a gentleman in Illinois and had it shipped to me.  The vehicle was painted while the previous owner had it.  The shine is still there, but there are a few bubbles in the hood area.  You can also see where a good finish sanding was not completed prior the final respray due to some light scratches visible.  The car looks great from 10 feet away.  I am just being honest and trying to represent the car the best I can.  Radiator just flushed & fluid changed.  New Wipers installed.  The car has only been driven in rain once since I have owned it (go figure, moving day). 




I have replaced the following items over the last few years:  
Intake Manifolds (removed headers),
Air filter & assembly, 
complete tune-up, 
rear brakes, 
oil pump, 
seals, 
lower radiator hose, 
upper radiator hose, 
thermostat (170 degree installed), 
heater pump hoses, 
alternator rebuilt, 
alternator bracket replaced, 
power steering line, 
wheels (back to original), 
carpet (floor sprayed with rubberized undercoating & then lined with dynamat prior to new carpet), 
seat cushions, 
seats re-upholstered,
seatbelts, 
numerous interior trim pieces, 
floor mats,
center console,
shift boot,
ash tray,
interior temperature control cluster,
rear compartment assembly,
radio (vintage in appearance, but digital with ipod adapter hidden in ashtray area)

  
What I would replace if I was keeping the car:  
interior door panels, 
paint, 
clock, 
rear bumper (currently a one piece which in 1974 they came from the factory a two piece with split down the middle), 
tripometer (does not work, but the odometer does) 
install the luggage rack on the back.  

There is a chip on the drivers door at the edge where my son  (he is still alive, so relax) opened the door into another vehicle.  The chip has been touched up with paint.  The Original air conditioner has never been checked since I've owned the car due to not driving it hardly at all.  The belt was frayed, but present when I received the car.

I have tried to take it back as close to factory original as I can.  It is a numbers matching car from everything I've checked out.  The carb is a Holley, not the quadrajet.  I found a napkin inside with the original dealerships name on it. When I replaced the carpet, I sprayed undercoating on the interior floor and then lined it with dynamat (for heat reduction and noise cancellation) prior to laying down the carpet.

Here is the research I've done on the car through the NCRS manual:

Trim tag
416= Medium Saddle
80L= Orange Metallic
E18= Body Built May 18th
Vin#
1- Chevrolet
Z= Corvette
37= Coupe
J= L48
4= Last # in year made
S= Saint Louis Plant
4= constant # in 73 & 74
126724= Sequence # of Vehicle
Engine Block:
3970010
AC Compressor:
5910741= 74L48

I am selling the car to get a larger camper for my family, so one toy must go before I can upgrade another unfortunately.  No partial trades or trades of any kind welcome.  Price is firm.  Buyer pays shipping and all other included costs.  I will drive it to the shipper.  Appraisers welcome under my schedule.  I will deliver within 150 miles of me for free.  Car is for sale locally as well.

More pictures will be sent upon request.  I will take specific pictures if requested to the best of my ability.

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met

Sat, May 9 2015

After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.

Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500

Sun, May 3 2015

As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month

Mon, Mar 31 2014

General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.
